England totally outplaying Australia in this one day series.
We finally get a one day win, despite having England 5-8 we still nearly bottled it.
England win the one day series 4-1 winning the first ever match in the new Perth stadium by 12 runs.
Crazy game of 20/20 cricket, New Zealand make 243 & Australia chase it down in 18.5 overs.
Australia 351 South Africa 162 in the 1st dig in Durban, impressive by us so far against a very good side away from home.
England bowled out for 58 in the 1st morning of the 1st Test vs NZ

Havenāt seen the highlights but can already guess. A small breeze in the ground, ultra green top wicket swinging an absolute mile with bounce and zip coupled with NZās ability to bowl perfectly for the conditions.
Seen visitors get absolutely blown away here so many times. England probably with the worst innings of the lot.
Even NZ find the conditions tough against good swing and pace bowling.
Disgraceful look for Australian Cricket and I am not impressed at all. I do feel a little bit for Bancroft as it would be naĆÆve to think he wasnāt pressured into being the fall guy given heās the newest member of the team. I also donāt believe the story that Lehmann had no idea what was going in as Iām sure the coach had a role to play. Iām expecting savage punishments for the whole leadership group + Bancroft, Iād rather my sporting teams be known for losing as opposed to cheating.
He is still a grown man though, he should know better. But yeah, itās not exactly fair if heās thrown under the bus for what was instructions from the āleadership groupā
The way Smith said, āI thought it was a way to gain advantage but obviously it didnāt workā¦ poor choiceā as if theyāll try a different thing next time. He also said he wouldnāt step down as captain ā it shouldnāt be his choice!

āGone rogueā Lol.
Cricket Australia has banned Smith & Warner for 12 months & Bancroft for 9 months.
Need this nightmare tour of South Africa to be over, amazing to think it all started so well 4 weeks ago.

England lads your boys are taking a hell of a beating!
Despite our form I thought we wouldnāt struggle too much against Pakistan.
God weāre awful
England obviously want this wrapped up so they can drink whilst watching the football tonight 
So happy to see a Pakistani bowling attack with proper teeth again after the shambles over the previous years.
Abbas looks awesome and amir of course bowling rippers.
Shadab looks a wonderful spin talent.
Good to see the fitness regime of the players under Mickey Arthur paying off as well, as the fielding has been exceptional (something you never used to say about Pakistan).
Pakistan have absolutely out-bowled and out-batted us over the three days. I was sort of expecting your bowlers to perform well, but I didnāt envisage out batting to be quite as bad as it is.
I guess Ireland proved more of a competitive match for Pakistan
