Not sure if everyone knows about this so thought I'd post it. Because of the bizarre world of TV contracts the first part of the upcoming T20 series (inc. England's 2 games v Australia) are on BT Sport. The rest of the series (England's 2 games v NZ plus the final) and the rest of the NZ tour will be on Sky. www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/22251426/australia-england-new-zealand-tri-series-television-splitP.S. David Willey opening the batting in a T20 tour match against the Prime Minister's XI just hit 34 in an over off Nathan Lyon - 5 sixes and a four off the final ball

Would you be happy with 34 off 6 or just gutted at that last ball 4???

Indifferent because it’s in a T20.

And if he does this in a test, you cry foul for not playing the right way

Are we doing tri-series in here?
Our depth is lovely. No Root, Bairstow, Moeen, Stokes and we can just send in Dawid Malan to thump them about instead.

Imagine not putting Glenn Maxwell in your ODI team. Just imagine it.

So, for those keeping score at home:
Allowing associate and affiliate teams to play top tier cricket: distorts the stats and we can't do it Allowing cricket to be played with the boundary roughly on the edge of the circle: great stuff as long as we can get a TV deal for it

I mean, this is T20. It’s not really top-tier cricket.
I know, I know, pipe down.

Hmmmm, all a bit silly isn't it, Wheeler's over at the top of the innings went for 16 with 12 off the edge, decent bowling not getting any reward. Pointless stuff.
