The interviewer tells Trott it's tedious people banging on about his SA background... and then the interviewer bangs on about his SA background...

And then cricinfo make a stand alone article about his SA background...

That's so cool.

With a headline: 'I feel completely British-Trott'!

Exclamation mark my own.

In a T20 practice match between Bangladesh and Bangladesh A, the A side chased down 244 to win!

Bangladesh smashed 243/9. Ziaur Rahman 68 off 27, Rahim 59 off 26, Shakib 28 off 13.
Bangladesh A then chased it down. Raqibul Hasan 140 off 61, Nafees 85 off 50.

40 sixes in the match! http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/c ... 71786.html

Today's match was the 3rd in the series. In the 1st match, Bangladesh smashed 273/4...Shakib 97 off 41, Jahurul 72 off 38, Rahim 62 off 25. Just the 39 sixes in that match.

India and Pakistan to resume hostilities in December with a three match ODI series.

No Tests?

It's a stupid schedule that's got worse.

India players will now basically play non stop from NZ test series(coming off a 2 month break, though) to end of IPL.

This was the break for all them when England went home for Christmas.
