warne paid tribute to marsh after he marsh died of a heart attack - then he died of the same thing mere hours later

Kinda reminds of the cornel/chester dynamic in the rock world a few yrs ago, more so if drugs etc were involved.

I guarantee you Shane Warne OD'd on some shitty drugs he used in Thailand. That place is filled with so much freaking drugs and drug overdoses by tourists are a normal thing there.

[Dizzy28]

West Indies first test vs England today
Possibility for two Trini fast bowlers to play in Seales and Anderson Phillip.

Bowling line up looks good especially leaving out Gabreil

Autopsy report said natural causes.

Not sure if they requested a toxicology report.

See England have all the "okes" in this match - Stokes, Woakes and Foakes

[Country_Bookie]

From having England 48/4 to 268/6. And WI only have 5 batsmen. Let's see if they can make 200 when it's their time to bat.

WI Women beat England Women this morning in thier Women's WC game.

Was watching the team and decided to check on when Anessa Mohammed made her debut as I swear she been around for ages. Turns out she made her ODI debut in 2003..................................................she's still only 33!!!!!!!

For reference Kevin Pietersen made his ODI debut in 2004 and Allastair Cook played his 1st test for England in 2006.
Dwayne Bravo made his WI debut in 2004.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

West indies building leads yes....

[Dizzy28]

WI all out this morning within 3 balls.

Let's see what the bowlers do here now

[bluefete]

Sanity restored

England 217/1 - 2nd innings leading by 153 runs.

[DMan7]

Yea WI gonna lose this match tomorrow just before the match finishes for the day. I know some people will say the pitch is good for batting and there's no way anyone can get bowled out quickly on this, WI says hold their beer...

[fokhan_96]

England 217/1 - 2nd innings leading by 153 runs.

Why haven't England declared yet? They forget is WI they playing against, or they just want batting practice... steups.

WI need 285 to win or lose or draw in 2 sessions. 4 runs per over to win.

[fokhan_96]

Very poor from England. They should have batted max 1 hour today. By lunchtime half WI side would have been out. Easy victory for them.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

We reach the part when windies would get complacent and loss the next two games?

[Dizzy28]

India dealt with SL in 3 days in their day/night Test.

Of note is that Virat Kohli's test averaged has now dipped below 50. First time since 2017.

If wasn't for England poor tactics they would have lost this one as well.

Pakistan - Australia turning out to be a cliffhanger.

Pakistan 416/7 needing 506 to win with 7 overs left.

[Dizzy28]

^ Really dunno why after only bowling 53 overs in Pakistan's 1st Innings Australia didn't enforce the follow on.
But they consistent b/c since Ricky Ponting days they never liked to enforce it.

[bluefete]

^^ True. Result might have been different if they had enforced the follow on.
