I recall seeing cricket white trousers with a built in ball rubbing patch a few years back; as one of the minority that prefers the chest to soothe the ball on, of little interest to me. And probably beyond my usual price range.

Question for anyone listening to the ball by ball commentary of West Indies V England on Talksport. How do you like the Talksport coverage compared to the BBC's Test Match Special?

I watch it on TV. Today’s game was a lot of fun although lacking in tension.

I keep checking Willow Cricket but they haven't announced anything about the World Cup. Apparently they have the rights to it but they they're taking their sweet time about it.

Is it still too early to be optimistic? Or are we still in mockers territory?

just catching up on the reports. That looks like it was a proper thrashing. Well played England.

Can they do the same to the Kiwis?
