Sad to think that summer is over but what a wonderful summer of sport it's been....
To win the world cup and draw the series 2-2 I think most of us would have taken that........well ok Eric might not have done....but it's been a fabulous series l.
Smith has been the glue that has held the Aussies together and I'll miss the twice weekly removal of Warner by Broad....saw a figure that Warner was 35/7 against Broad....what a performance.....
What might have been but for the weather at Lord's when England were 4 wickets short of winning.....claim a moral victory I think

What did you win? Nowhere in the World Cup and drew the Test series.

We won the right to keep the Ashes until you come to our grounds and attempt to win them back, like you tried in 2017

Shame he did it against Somerset, never having won the Championship, top of the table for most of the season and then blow it on the penultimate match. Somerset now have to beat Essex in season finale whereas Essex would be champions with a draw. I go to our site in Taunton once a week, could be busier next week!
Oh dear, it looks like Ben Stokes is going to hit the headlines again for all the wrong reasons.

I've been out of touch with the cricket lately and didn't even realise this was on, cheers Strolls. I've got it on now ... Who's Sibley?
Sibley scored a load of first class runs for Warwickshire in the summer. He hit his first ball for four, so not a bad way to start your first Test.
I've just had a quick read up on him on the beeb site ...
'I can't remember him giving his wicket away once'
As impressive as Sibley's County Championship stats were this season, quite possibly the most important figure the England selectors discussed was the number of balls he faced: 3,024.
It was 50% more than the next most obdurate batsman, former Test captain Alastair Cook - arguably England's greatest and a man who forged a career on being prised from the crease.
Batting for long periods is a skill Sibley has had since childhood, and one which was evident again when he made 100 in England's opening warm-up match against a New Zealand XI.
"He just loves batting. His biggest strength is his appetite for run-scoring," says Surrey director of cricket Stewart.
He sounds like an ideal opener to me. Let's hope he fits the bill and learns quickly. This should be a good test series. Just hit another four as I type.
Maybe not, but we need to create some stability from the first three batsmen. If Sibley can anchor them then maybe Burns and Denley can play some shots and play their natural game a bit further down the line. We need to try and build a solid base and go from there. Something we haven't had for a while.
I already like the look of Sibley. Slowly slowly and all that.
Here's the article I read regarding Sibley, he sounds ideal and just what we're looking for to me. I hope he can be the player we all hope he can be and can step up to this level ...
