Upcoming cricket matches this week

The first test has come to an end with it ending in a draw. New Zealand gave it their best shot but the England batsman managed to keep them out and play out a draw.

The game did get a little boring during the last session as England were just blocking everything as they were playing for the draw. They never looked like they were going to attempt to win the game at any stage of their innings. New Zealand on the other hand tried their best to get the match to end with a result but the England batsman was just better in executing their plans and batting out the 70 odd overs they were given to survive to get the draw.

The match was a good one and if the third day was not lost to rain New Zealand were looking good to win this one and who knows we might have seen a result in the favour of England. As we all know a test keeps changing session by session and from day to day with the conditions varying depending on the weather forecast. 

Looking forward to this week the 2nd test gets on the way on Thursday and there is a chance that New Zealand will bring in Trent Boult and Ajaz Patel for Tim Southee and Mitchell Santner and on the England side we could see Dom Dess or Jack Leach replace the unavailable Ollie Robinson who has been banned from all international cricket until the ECB is done with there investigation and announce their decision. 

Moving on to other news 



. 

This week Thursday we also have the Fist test Between West Indies and South Africa starting and this will be an interesting series as it is the last series of the world test championship. With WTC points up for grabs both teams will be looking to give it their best to make sure they can earn those points and give their respective sides a reasonable finish in the WTC. 

Both teams stand a chance of finishing fifth in WTC if they can win the series 2-0 so there is a lot on the line in this series and I'm sure it's going to be an exciting one.

West Indies will be looking to get a result at home in a test for the first time this year after the two tests they played this year against Srilanka both ended in a draw. 

South Africa will be looking to return to winning ways having lost their last two tests to Pakistan earlier this year.

There is a lot of cricket happening this week and it's going to be very exciting with the teams all having different motives to play for 

What are your thoughts on the two matches happening this week do share in the comment section

Australia vs Pakistan 3rd test day 3 review

By
  The third day of the third Test match between Australia and Pakistan was exciting, with both teams battling it out on the field. Australia resumed on 116-2 with Labuschange and Smith continuing to score steadily and take Australia closer to Pakistan's first innings score of 313. Labuschange and Smith added 71 runs before both Smith and Labuschange lost their wickets one after the other. Australia then managed a few small partnerships to take their score to 289 before collapsing to 299 all out giving Pakistan a first-innings lead of 14 runs.  Pakistan began their 2nd innings in the worst way possible by losing 2 quick wickets in opener Abdulla Shafiq and Captain Shan Masood both for ducks. Saim Ayub and Babar Azam then gave Pakistan some hope with a partnership of 57 before Pakistan's batting collapsed from 58-2 to 68-7 to end the day staring at defeat and missing another chance to win their 1st test in 28 years. Pakistan last won a test match in Australia in 1995...

SA20 review

By
 The SA20 season 2 has ended with Sunrisers Eastern Cape successfully defending their title to win back-to-back titles. The Sunrisers were the team to beat as they played an excellent brand of cricket and dominated throughout the tournament winning 7 matches and losing 2 with 1 no result to top the table in the league stage.  The final of SA20 season 2 was played by the 2 best teams of the tournament the Sunrisers Eastern Cape and Durban Super Giants. Sunrisers proved too good for Super Giants beating them by 89 runs to not only successfully defend their SA20 title but also win the head-to-head between the 2 teams 3-1.  SA20 season 2 saw some unbelievable performances with quite a few young South African players taking the opportunity and shining. The young standout SA batsman were:  Rickelton 530 runs ave 58.88, strike-rate 173.77 Breetzke 416 runs ave 32, strike-rate 135.50  Stubbs 301 runs ave 60.20, strike-rate, 168.15   Mulder 297 runs...
