Re: The Cricket Thread
Unsurprisingly the West Indies have the top T20 spot. Well equal with Oz and Sri Lanka.

Australia will be 1st if they beat NZ 1-0 or better
1st April is the cutoff and we will then see who goes into the rest of 2016 as No.1
2016 is a pain as there is the world T20 and less test cricket. We play NZ and SL at home in the 2nd half but not sure about the 1st half

Re: The Cricket Thread
Well, Australia go number 1 apparently. That's in Tests and ODI's.
NZ didn't quite get the toss right, especially on these English wickets. Toss is always important in English conditions.
Great knock by McCullum for his 145 in the first innings, breaking the world record and all.
Cricket is the winner, South Africa 3rd

Re: The Cricket Thread
Back on the topic of cricket, South Africa have choked again in the tri-nation ODI competition here in the West Indies - losing their last seven wickets for 41 runs against Australia. Hopeless!

Re: The Cricket Thread
Yes, of course - although a charge of "choking" is normally applied to a chasing team. Pathetic, both times - and with more to come, I imagine.

Re: The Cricket Thread
The MCG fails to make it to the top 5. Too big, lacks atmosphere.
