Well played to both the West Indies and Bangladesh.
Can’t make my mind up on the England test team, they seem to sway from the sublime to the ridiculous in the blink of an over.
Still, they can’t be accused of being dull. Final test against West Indies could well be interesting if Hope and Brathwaite can bat well again.
Seems Bangladesh have been making positive, if steady, progress for a good few years now in all forms of the game. Encouraging for the good of the wider game.
England seemed to be excusable – aggressive declaration, dropped catches, solid batting. Australia however folded like a very dodgy house of cards. Again. And fair play to them, Bangladesh did the business, as did West Indies.
I refer m’learned friend to my earlier Ashes prediction – 3-0 either way with 2 wash outs. I stand by it.
Very pleased for Windies. Really dislike some members of this English team, Stokes, Broad, Anderson etc. Extremely talented players, but obnoxious individuals.

Australia have always been hopeless on the subcontinent. Having said that Warner made a century so maybe he’s learned something.
I think it’s great for cricket that the Windies and Bangladesh won

Great result for Test Cricket and, at £15 and £10 on Monday and Tuesday respectively, surely the best value sporting event this year.
I’ve never met them, but I don’t view any of the current England team as anything other than competitive.
That’s good, isn’t it?

Competitive? There’s a line. I see no need to hurl abuse at opposition players (and I know England aren’t the only ones who do this).
