    Been impressed with West Indies so far.

    Have only caught a couple games due to the time difference but West Indies vs South Africa on Friday should be a cracker.

    Hopefully I get to watch Sri Lanka vs England on Saturday if it's on in a pub. Shame Malinga is out of the tournament.

    Great batting from Buttler and death bowling from Chris Jordan. Don't think they'll beat New Zealand but will run them close.

    Anyone see the T20 final? Incredible finish.

    West Indies needed 19 from the final over and their boy hit four consecutive sixes to win it.

    I know a lot of folk find cricket a bit boring, but this T20 stuff is pretty exciting.

    Good to see him back and winning. He * up big time but he deserved a second chance.

    If he deserves a second chance then Lou Vincent's lifetime ban should be rescinded.

    I don't think so. Vincent did it because, as he said himself, he was greedy. Amir was pressured into this a lot more, by the captain Salman *. Amir has a few mitigating circumstances while Vincent doesn't. I agree with Michael Atherton...

    Seen Muhammad Asif also made a 'comeback'. Not at Lord's, but in a field in Oslo :56:

    Aussies can't beat South Africa for love nor money it seems.

    Ireland could be granted Test cricket status in April after a meeting of the International Cricket Council board in Dubai.

    An agreement has been made to include them and Afghanistan in future plans.

    At the meeting, the ICC also agreed the principle of a nine-team Test league, to be run over a two-year cycle, probably starting after the 2019 World Cup.

    Final decisions will be made at the next ICC board meeting in April.

    In addition, after the controversy of the recent India-England series, the ICC has also agreed in principle to use the decision review system in televised World Twenty20 matches from October.

    The ICC has been discussing ways to revamp the current Test structure for some time.

    It is currently unclear if Ireland and Afghanistan would be able to play Tests straight away or will have to wait for the new structure of Test cricket to begin.

    Ireland made their one-day international debut in June 2006 when they played England while Afghanistan's maiden ODI was three years later.

    Great Test in Bengaluru. The turn around in this Australia side since the Sri Lanka series is quite incredible but India showed their class today. The Pujara-Rahane stand just took it away from the Aussies.

    Anyone casting an eye towards the T20 World Cup? Started yesterday. Scotland pulled off a massive win against Bangladesh that should see them reach the main stages of the event. Big game for Ireland at 11am vs The Netherlands who’ve won 7 of their last 9 meetings. Pretty much a must win right off the bat (excuse the pun)

    Scotland playing now against Papua New Guinea. A win all but secures a place in the Super 12s which is the main part of the tournament, although not guaranteed.
