    Ashes starts in a couple weeks. It’s the second best test series in the world and the top one they haven’t played for over 10 years. Australia haven’t won in England since 2001 and are second favorites this year but I think England will have a tough time after all the emotion of the World Cup. In the semifinal Starc and Lyon both got carted around so that could hurt their confidence some. I absolutely cannot wait.

      8/1 0600 ET The Ashes Match 1. Australia @ England. Test Cricket. This should be fun.

      8/3, 8/4, 8/6 1030 ET. T20 India @ West Indies

      I think the first 2 India @ West Indies are in Ft. Lauderdale. Prices are NFL level.
      CPL starts really soon as well. Biggest party in cricket.

        Re: The Cricket Thread

        BTW, on Willow, the subcontinent generally has priority over anyone else.

        On 8/3, they'll break away from Day 3 of the Ashes to show the India/ West Indies T20.

        If you subscribe to Willow (if you have Spectrum, Optimum, FIOS, or Dish - its free), you can flip over to the other channel and continue to watch The Ashes.

              I’ve got an older MacBook and it doesn’t work on that but is great on my iPhone. Willow can be frustrating at times but I can’t imagine life without it.

                Ireland v England test
                Day 1: England 85 all out in 23.4 overs.

                And I thought England would walk all over Ireland. Gotta be the World Cup hangover, looking ahead to the Aussies and the Shane Lowry effect

                  Re: The Cricket Thread

                  England v Australia at Lords on Willow. Scary situation where Steve Smith of Australia gets, I dunno, "hit by bowl"? He's sitting for concussion protocol and I gather he's one of Australia's best batsmen.

                  Little by little things are starting to make sense. Rather than thinking of it as bizarre baseball I've settled on it as group golf.

                  And now Smith is back.

                    Why don't they try to short-hop the "bowl" more often?

                      If you’re not right on the money the ball is going to the fence. Only works when the ball is doing a lot.

                            In a T20I today between visiting New Zealand and Sri Lanka, Sri Lankan bowler and captain Lasith (Slinga) Malinga in his 2nd stint with the ball in the 3rd over went:
                            dot
                            dot
                            Wicket

                            Wicket
                            Wicket

                            New Zealand went from 15-0 to 15-4 in that over.
