Michael Vaughan agrees with me that England should get Gillespie in as coach.

Hello old chap,

Afraid I don't agree - losing Dizzy would be the worst possible break for the White Rose.

Yours aye,

Chunders

I reckon with Colin Graves being the new ECB chairman, this could be a real possibility. Would love him to stay in charge of Yorkshire but he will be an international coach soon, so England ought to get in there sharpish.

Dizzy is fine where he is.

England v Afghanistan

The Afghans are 93-6. Is it too soon to start chanting "easy, easy" yet?

101-7

EASY EASY EASY!

Pissed it! Now we build for the next one, which I think we're hosting.

Yes we are, in the summer of 2019. We'll be ace by then. Smile

Well the three quarter finals so far have been a bit one sided. Will tomorrow's be the same? All deepends on McCullum and Gayle methinks.
I reckon the Kiwis will do it though.

And another one sided quarter final. New Zealand hammered the Windies with Martin Guptil scoring a double century.
He was a 2nd division cricketer with Derbyshire so why can't any of our 1st division English cricketers play like that?
