Cricket season

Aussies are talking themselves up against Archer for the test which starts at Lords on Wednesday. They trying to get into his head with mind games, could work, could backfire. Should be a great test and hopefully the rain stays away.

Let's see how wrong I am....

Imo Archer might take a few wickets but he will not blow the Aussies away. He takes his wickets with batsmen trying to attack him in limited overs cricket. Test cricket obviously a different game and he needs to prove he can work batsmen out (I don't believe he will be able to manage it right now in his career)....

Rahkeem Cornwall, the 26-year-old all-rounder from Antigua weighing around 140 kilograms, became the heaviest Test cricketer ever when he was inducted in West Indies’ playing XI for the second Test against India. Rahkeem surpassed former Australia captain Warwick Armstrong, who weighed 133-139 kg, to achieve this feat.

West Indies skipper Jason Holder won the toss and opted to bowl against an unchanged India in the 2nd Test at Sabina Park. West Indies had two debutants in the form of Rahkeem Cornwall who replaced Miguel Cummins and Jahmar Hamilton who was drafted in the side at the place of Shai Hope.

Rahkeem Cornwall, who can hit big sixes at will and get some sharp bounce and turn with his off-spin, has been among the most consistent cricketers in the domestic circuit in the recent past. In West Indies Championships 2018-19, Cornwall picked up 54 wickets at a staggering average of 17.68 runs.

He gets his first wicket in test cricket dismissing Pujara for 6 runs.

Steve Smith..... Say no more.....

Appears that the Aussies will now retain the ashes as today will be shortened by rain and all the Aussies need is to draw the match. England did not have a good bowling day and they really miss Anderson.
