Anyone watching the end of the 3rd Test?

Squeaky bum time for England, 290/9 two overs left to bat out with Swann and Onions at the crease.

Bell and Collingwood did brilliantly today.

Watched the text updates on BBC. Unreal stuff!!

[MariborKev]

Aye, fair play to Onions I thought it was all over when he was at the crease.

Did the same myself. Waited for each update with heart in the mouth. Great stuff. I believe cricket is the only support where I support England England are famous for their collapses and sure enough, it happened.

Sport at its best.

And people say a draw after five days is boring.

Great work by Bell whereas once again KP fails to deliver.

I went to the first day and have followed the series, England have basically been outplayed in 2 of 3 tests and somehow have clung on for draws, where as the 1 game they were on top they were completely clinical.
It's been a great series so far, Test Cricket Rules!

Sounds a bit like the ashes that doesnt it!

Under 19's have beaten the first and third string University of New South Wales teams in warm up games for the world cup

I was surprised that Bell had been selected and was disappointed that Morgan didn't get a run. Bell had been like Lazarus - rising from the dead on numerous occasions. Looks like he'll be alive for a while yet. Not sure where this leaves Morgan.

I reckon Eoin might go to Bangladesh, England have been hinting that they're going to rest a few players on that tour, on a club note OwlsFan it's a shame to see you guys dropping down to three teams for next season

The 4th team hadn't been around that long and with a lot of the "foreigners" going home due to the economic climate, a 4th team was never on this year.

Day 1: England skittled for 180.

Once again KP is a shining light ......

The Ireland Under-19s put up a score 216/6 in their innings against South Africa Under-19s in the Under-19 World Cup.

[MariborKev]

Lost by 5 wickets.

Good performance from Stirling though.

[TheBoss]

Ireland need to chase 275 to win v Australia, a real tough ask for them to cause a major shock.
