Trescothick retiring. Everyone's favourite cricketer and a proper legend.

So Rahmat Shah removed as Afghanistan Test Captain with a record of 0 wins, 0 losses, 0 draws. Makes sense...

The players are suffering already - tours being called off, Raza being furious etc. Sad times.

Mohammad Amir retires from test cricket at 27 with 36 tests to his name, despite a 6 year gap in that. Impressive. Fitting that as a former (we hope) match fixer he's gone off to chase money in the t20s, but it's a shame. Who knows how many tests he'd have gone on to play

Haseeb Hameed being released at the end of this year. Done nothing for a couple of years, but bound to be snapped up by someone, a decent gamble.
I'd love him at Hampshire tbh, if Organ/Holland doesn't solve our opening problems he's worth a go

He'd be welcome over the Pennines. Fingers crossed we could do for him what we did for Plunkett.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Inter-Provincial_ChampionshipIreland's First Class League is fantastic. We're most likely 2 days away from seeing the first ever (surely) season of a first class competition where every single match is drawn. This season's t20 comp featured 8 no results in 12 matches too...

Literally none of those games have got to the third innings, let alone the fourth. That's quite a thing.

After Lords nabbed Hampshire's head groundsman, Hampshire have now nabbed Somerset's.
Inb4 Mason Crane gets taken to India in 2021...

Oh, and another thing (seems pointless to create a series thread since they’re in the final game now)
Malinga is currently 3-1-5-5. Some way to smash through the 100 t20i wickets barrier

There was an NZ vs. SL series thread but nobody else commented on the Tests so I deleted it. ☹️

Note with some interest that Fawad Alam has been recalled to the test team by Pakistan after TEN YEARS out of the side.
In that ten years, his domestic FC stats are 8000 runs @ 56 with 26 tons.
Now, I realise that Pakistan is not a country immune to a bit of political decision making in selection, but how on earth has it taken a decade of doing that to get back into the side?

Seems to be a case of 'not a team player', i.e. the Pietersen affair x3000.
