Asia cup post review

  The Asia cup has come to an end and Sri Lanka have deservedly become champions of Asia for the 6th time. This Asia cup was entertaining as a lot of games went down to the wire and we got to see so good hard-fought cricket.  Sri Lanka pulled off the greatest of comebacks as they fought back after being thrashed by Afghanistan in the opening game of the Asia cup to win all their remaining matches and secure their 6th Asia cup title. This will be a big confidence boost for Sri Lanka as they still have to qualify for the World T20.   The favourites to win Pakistan and India have disappointed at different stages as they failed to capitalize on crucial moments during the tournament this ended in India crashing out in the super 4 and Pakistan falling 1step short as they ended the tournament as runners-up.  Afghanistan who were given more of a chance to win the tournament than Sri Lanka failed to capitalize on the early momentum they built as they lost all three super...

Proteas vs England Post series review

  England won the test series 2-1 after an excellent performance in the last test at the oval to win the final test by nine wickets.  Well done to England, who played better cricket throughout the series and came out on top at the end of the series. a well-deserved series win for them.  Proteas have a lot of questions regarding their batting department and players from the test squad who are not part of white ball teams in the next few months should use this break to go away and refresh their minds and look to use the SA domestic first class to gain some confidence before the tour to Australia.  Proteas have a lot of work to do when it comes to batting and hope to see them working on those problems and improving before the next series.  The series for Proteas was lost due to lack of runs on the board as the bowlers were superb throughout the series but the batsman never played their part apart from the first test where proteas scored 326 that too with assistance...

Proteas vs England 3rd test preview

  The last test of the 3-match series between the Proteas and England starts tomorrow. The series is squared at 1-1 and sets this match up nicely as a result for either team would mean a series win and in the bigger picture a boost in the world test championship standings. Rassie Van der Dussan and Jonny Bairstow have been ruled out of this test and world T20, both are crucial to their respective teams, and this will be a massive setback for Proteas and England as both are mainstays across the three formats of the game. The replacements for both players are just as suitable so hopefully, their absence won't be felt.  England have brought Harry Brook into the side for the final test in Bairstow's place as the only change from the previous test. England will want to continue from where they left off in the last test. They will hope their top order will contribute to putting runs on the board as they have struggled, especially the two openers who have struggled throughout the sum...
