This is a thread for all of the relatively inconsequential knockabouts that happen between two sides. Test-containing tours and tourneys get their own threads.
The current tri-series is most notable, thus far, for WI beating a SA team in apparent chaos, and for the return to form of Mitchell Starc. An Australian left-arm bowler with genuine pace delivering a heady mixture of hit-me balls, extras, and unplayable deliveries? Plus ça change...

South Africa struggle to 189-9 against Australia, with Behardien top scoring with 62. Hard pitch to bat on, could be a close game.

Ha! No. Hahaha!
It's funny because it's Australia.

Can we... just... stop Zimbabwe from playing international cricket longer than T20s until they sort themselves out? They're just terrible.

So, Zimbabwe were 106/3 when I first checked the score this morning and I thought they stood a decent chance of posting 200+. Improvement, I thought.
When I next saw the score it was 116/6, and then 126ao. Horrific collapse.

Very good win for West Indies over Australia yesterday, chasing down 265 with Samuels making 92.

Zim wins the T20! That's something nice for the fans, at least.

Knight couldn't have asked for a better captaincy debut, 50 and 5-26 with the ball.

Been a fun tri-series for the England Lions so far.
163* for Duckett in the first match against Pakistan A
185* for Malan in their next match against Sri Lanka A
175 for Billings in their next match against Pakistan A
They're currently playing their second match against Sri Lanka A and now Bell-Drummond is performing pretty nicely. Nice to see different players piling on the runs. I haven't listed the bowlers but they've performed well too.

199/1 at the end of the 30th. Where are all of these impressive England LO batsmen emerging from all of a sudden?

Centuries for both Duckett and Bell-Drummond, should get 350+ from here.

YES DBD! Maiden List A century! We've certainly got talent coming through. Sri Lanka & Pakistan look slightly lapsing in bowling talent though...
