All is resolved and fine and dandy now, they sacked the British bloke and appointed an Asian one 
it’s sorted 
Just hope he is the right man for the job

I think the fallout will rumble on for a while.
I feel for ballance a bit, he was obviously close with the guy and is getting slaughtered for offensive remarks, I mean jesus, if I'm calling someone an offensive word with whatever prefix its usually because I like them

Tony Greig said it all the time.
Problem for Yorkshire is they tried to sweep it under the carpet but in this day and age the media will jump on it.
My question would be if it affected him so much why did he go back there.

That was a Great game
Hopefully Scotland or Namibia can get a result today, I do love an underdog.
The Yorkshire situation is interesting, I actually got told off a couple of weeks back for using the abbreviation when talking about the pakistani cricket team, my defence being that that's the only context where you can use it
"Vaughan and boycott say it on tms regularly, it must be alright"  
I'll have to stop that now

Another awesome innings by Buttler, Morgan getting some as well good to bat first and win. Sri Lanka played very well and pushed all the way but to me the difference was our fielding and Morgan's captaincy.

I'd like to see livingstone, but his first class figures don't make great reading. Having stokes and woakes should leave room for a specialist spinner.
Re the final, I'm not counting any chickens yet, I just want to see that match up

Another reason i can't understand why Livingstone isn't in the Ashes squad is his ability to bowl spin as an option.
Plenty of cricket to be played before talk of a final yes England and Pakistan have set the standard but they have to keep it up. Buttler was so pleasing on the eye as well as being brutal.

I'd love to see an England Pakistan final, easily the 2 standout teams so far
A nice little blow from buttler and woakes ahead of the ashes too, hopefully buttler can bring that side of his game out in aus when the ball isn't doing anything (until the sandpaper comes out again )
