Started the documentary series on Amazon earlier called 'The Test', which follows the Australian cricket team over the 18 month period following the ball tampering scandal. 

First episode is great, features the 5-0 ODI series win by England . 🤣

Finishes with them beating us at home though.....still worth watching it all though, it’s very good. Also the edge if you haven’t seen that, similar to the test but an inside look at England over a period of time.

There were suggestions Australia batsman Steve Smith deliberately scuffed up the crease to gain an advantage - a claim he disputed - while captain Tim Paine was embroiled in a verbal exchangewith India's Ashwin.

Paine could be heard saying: "I can't wait to get you to the Gabba, Ash."😂

Well, Paine's words may well have returned to haunt him, as Australia suffered their first loss at the ground since 1988.

Alex Hales playing for Sydney Thunder today,9 fours & 8 sixes must've been good to watch.

 

Hales c Silk b C Brathwaite 110 82 56 9 8 196.43

Time to forgive him his idiocy and get him back in the white ball squad. Man is a class act.

Really tough on Joe Root,run out on the last ball of the day on 186.When he was walking in you could see how knackered he really was.

Interesting stat regarding Embuldeniya's bowling and Root. In his first 100 balls bowled, Root scored 43 runs off 47 balls faced, while he took 4 for 8 runs in the other 53 balls the other batsmen faced. 

Remarkable. 

Finished with an excellent 7 for 132.
