Bresnan got a century.

There was a 15 year old 12th man in the field for Essex. Was pretty good too - made some good dives on the boundary.

Essex v England turned into a bit of a farce

[Syn]

Ramsey is bowling 94mph wide half volleys. Just imagine the feeling of middling one of them dives. I guess pub teamers such as myself will never get forward enough to have a go.

Been watching/working at the varsity cricket between Oxford and cambridge at fenner's. it counts as a first class match whereas if Rutherford hits a century against finn and co. it doesn't.

Oxford are 438/5 and agarwal is 250*. Cambridge elected to field. Good work lads

[Syn]

Declared on 550/7. Agarwal 313* we might see him in the Surrey line up soon. Though there are better prospects playing. Camb lost their first wicket for 20 odd. Enough pub cricket, I'm off to the pub.

After winning the ICC trophy, India have played 2 and lost 2 and today play West Indies and basically need a win. Dhoni has pulled a rosicky and is out for a few months. kohli is captain. Tune in for Sky Sports from 3pm.

In other news, the ICC trophy has now been scrapped and will be replaced by a 'Test match world championship'. From 2017, the top four ranked test nations will battle it out.

Top four

Time for Wenger to coach India.

[Syn]

The current 'Big four' are SA, England, India and Australia. Odds on Bangladesh sneaking in before 2017?

West Injuns win the toss and put Injuns in to bat. Bat off at 14:30 BST or 15:30 GMT.

[Syn]

India 47-0 from 11.2 overs.
