Must've been the shittest bowling line-up ever named in any form of the game.

I honestly reckon I'm quicker than the Kumar pie-chucker brothers. Vinay and Praveen...half-trackers at 78mph ffs.

The good news is that it actually gives the best and most in-form batsman in world cricket right now a challenge. V.Kohli ton coming up.

It was quite a painful watch. Raina bowled the last over, when the Kumars had 3 left.

At least Gary Kirsten can have a good larf at what he left behind.

SA win by 11 runs (D/L)

India were 75-0 off 7.1 overs

[McNamara That Ghost...]

West Indies have just beaten the Aussies in the second t20.

Series is shared, 1-1.

First test between the two sides next Saturday.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Quite a few people commenting on pressure on Strauss now. It's a fair call. Doesn't make many runs these days. But I don't know of many up and coming batsmen. Anyway, the fact there's an obvious captain-in-waiting (Cook) will surely increase that pressure. Will Graeme Smith end another England captain's career?
