The beers are undefeated, with Fin Taylor
Could this be the end of Captain Stokes? Also, this one simple trick will fix the wicket at Lord's (groundstaff hate it!!!). Gay is a shirt-based selection, Greg Chappell fixes T20 cricket and sometimes a ball just has an umpire's name on it.

The sandpaper reduxes are running dry and it's almost time for Australia to return to South Africa for the first time since 2018. Australian's are never satisfied so even a 3-0 win may seem like a failure. Marnus tons up in a 'low intensity' warm up game, Martin Guptill is playing Sydney test cricket and miraculously India and Pakistan are in the same group again for the ODI World Cup.
