When does the regular cricket season start?? Surely this will mean half of Yorkshire's team miss the first few games??

We have enough in reserve to cope and still win the league even if this lot are on test duty all summer. Smile

Best tour of the lot on at sensible televised times,sadly Windies cricket is in decline should win easily shouldn't we!?

Should do. Most of their names are out at the IPL anyway. Nice easy work out for the Ashes series coming up.

England declare on 379-6.

St Kitts now 26-6. Is this good enough opposition for a tour match? Are they taking the piss? Or are England awesome?

76-7.
Match drawn.

Scorecard

Baffled by that. Saw on Twitter that Jonny Bairstow had got out for 98. Then saw that St Kitts were 198-8. Huh

Turns out that to get some batting practice, Bairstow, Trott and Ballance are all batting for the other side. Oo-er! Tongue
