      A record for fewest wickets in a T20I. I'm not really sure what was going on with AB today.

      Happy to see Bairstow with another good knock. Across all forms of the game very few batsmen have as good of record since the start of 2015 as him.

        AB was not AB in the IPL, either. I'm thinking the injury he had over winter has upset his game.

        My Royal Challengers had all three stars banged up in the last IPL and it led to last place.

              In other big ICC news, ROI and Afghanistan are now full members and can play test cricket. I'm a big Afghanistan fan and it's exciting to see them get test status. It's one of the most heart warming sports stories this century. They absolutely LOVE their cricket.

                I want to see the 1st Afghanistan - Pakistan test. Hopefully Willow or ESPN3 cover it.

                And I typed USACA. Flippin spell checker!

                  That will be a lot of fun! Hopefully one of those and not Bein or that other new one.

                  It will be interesting what happens with the new US board. Hopefully whatever it is has a strong American influence and not just ex-pats. For cricket here to be successful we need to do it our own way and not try to replicate other countries.

                    Blowers is retiring after the test against WI at Lords. My dear old thing you will be sorely missed.

                      England lose second test at Trent Bridge against South Africa by 340 runs. The worst part is Rabada didn't even play. There is a lot of work to be done before the Ashes.

                        What Ashes? The Australian players and management are embroiled in a pay dispute that is getting ugly.

                          A desperate situation no doubt. CA has really stepped in it and at this point I don't think there is any trust between the two organizations. Hopefully it gets resolved soon and the series can go forward.

                            The South African women are following in the footsteps of the S.A. men with a heartbreaking last Wicket loss in the World Cup semifinals.

                            Capitals and Nationals fans should embrace the Proteas.

                                The real money is from domestic T20 comps and endorsements. I believe MSD and Kohli each make over $20MM a year.
