Will have to be a very good team to beat NZ at #ChampionsTrophy. Seem to have every base covered and Conway/Williamson finding form is huge. Plenty of power from likes of Phillips, who also doubles up as useful spin option along with Bracewell/Santner #NZvSA #Cricket

@LongLiveTest England will beat Zimbabwe, let's be serious

We've seen an exhibition of chasing in the last 2 days. India chased down 305 with minimal fuss yesterday and NZ going well in pursuit of same target today. 300 no longer a daunting 1st inns total, especially in Asia #NZvSA #Cricket

@rawlins22444 In theory, yes but recent international form is poor

Duckett, class act. But please don't be satisfied with a half century. Eng need more #INDvENG #Cricket

Blow for Eng ahead of #ChampionsTrophy, with Bethell suffering hamstring injury. Banton called up as cover. 3 changes to XI. Would have preferred Ahmed in ahead of Overton #INDvENG #Cricket

Strangely unbalanced Pak team. Batting until 7 but XI looks short on batting. Just 1 opener selected. Only 4 specialist bowlers. 1 spinner when other teams are packing side with slow bowlers. Trying to get 10 overs from part timer Khushdil when Agha is in team #PAKvNZ #Cricket

Not in favour of Babar opening. Has excellent record at 3 in ODIs and if he gets out early, it leaves only one experienced middle order batsman (Rizwan) #PAKvNZ #Cricket

Stunning recovery by Ireland in Bulawayo. From 31-5 on day 1, they've set hosts daunting target of 292 to win #ZIMvIRE Test. Plenty of time left in the match, should be intriguing finale #Cricket

Terrible end to the innings for Pakistan. In the absence of injured Haris, bowlers lost the plot. NZ looked like they would post mediocre total. Instead, Kiwis have piled up 330, including 130 off last 12.1 overs and 76 off last 4.2 overs #PAKvNZ #Cricket

Watching Ashes 2005 highlights (again). Really was the pinnacle of sports broadcasting. 2 star studded teams, some of the greatest commentators of all time, in packed grounds, broadcast FTA. Halcyon days #Cricket

Chastening #SLvAUS series for hosts so far. Aus have got pretty much every tactical decision right and Smith has led by example as stand-in skipper. Decision to promote Carey has worked a treat and Aus in excellent position to claim big lead. #Cricket

@WG_RumblePants Nasser was the captain when I fell in love with cricket. From being officially the worst Test team in the world, the side he built went on to win the Ashes. Halcyon days when home Tests were FTA and available to all.

@WG_RumblePants I think he's safe until the Ashes. I don't think white ball results will have any impact because he's only just taken over. If Eng have a poor Champions Trophy, I can see Buttler being replaced as captain as that would be 3 disappointing competitions in a row

@hazza_skywalker Spot on. There are lots of players new to international cricket after 2015 WC but at domestic level, they were experienced List A performers who knew the nuances of the format.

@the_kk Running between the wickets and green/red lights for third umpire decisions.

RT @hantscricket: Thank you Mo 🙌 Mohammad Abbas' fruitful four-year stint with Hampshire has come to an end. Every at the club and @utili…

1st #INDvENG ODI turning into a mauling. Eng wasted good start with bat and simply didn't score enough runs. Archer/Mahmood good with new ball but other bowlers weren't able to maintain pressure. Lack of 2nd specialist spinner disadvantage for Eng too #Cricket

Huge breakthrough as Iyer is dismissed by Bethell. Iyer was bossing the game. Still may not be enough and Eng need to strike again quickly but a glimmer of hope #INDvENG #Cricket
