Also I got Cricket 2004, i was australia, they were dukes, 10 over match, i scored over 250 runs, them, under 40 :D Anyway, cricket is a game of 2 teams of 11, 1 player is a wicketkeeper and.... umm i cant be bothered saying more  well the point of the game basically is to when your batting, smash the ball as far as you can with the cricket bat and when your bowling, try to \"bowl\" the ball to the \"wickets\". i think this kinda summerises it :X | ||

England has a fairly decent team at the moment, which makes a nice change. Still no chance of beating Australia though. | ||

One day games are 50 overs a side, most runs wins. Test cricket was the original form when it was first played way back when, whilst one day cricket is fairly new (Late 1970s) | ||

They went through their last summer winning all their series against NZ, West Indies and India. I really don't understand all the attention South Africa gets. They're by far the most overrated side out there today. They have a few good batsmen and not much else. England will destroy South Africa. I'll take the bet NP. As for the Ashes... Never | ||

Fleming the old aussie swing bowler was hit for the first 2 balls of the over. The match was then tied and with 3 balls left Kluzener and allan donald went for a suicide single ending the match in a tie but meaning Australia progressed! | ||

This victory, won through a masterly 294 from Alistair Cook and sharp bowling from England's pace battery, also wrapped up the series 3-0 in England's favour, with a fourth game still to play. India's stay at the top was heavily disputed, with Australia, Sri Lanka and South Africa all feeling they had claims to the top position at various times. South Africa in fact came within 9 balls of snatching top spot in their last series in India. England however, have comprehensively won their last 6 series and are undefeated in a series since 2008. They have also beaten strong opposition and been winning at home and away, which was a criticism of India's reign at the top. Are England the real deal? Do they deserve to be there? Should we expect a British dynasty or are they just a flash in the pan who will be unceremoniously knocked from their perch sooner rather than later? Poll: Are England here to stay? They will be strong for some time but not dominant (3) They will get knocked off by South Africa very soon and plummet (3) Gin and tonic, please! (3) This is the beginning of a long period of English dominance! Sirrah! (0) 9 total votes Your vote: Are England here to stay? (Vote): This is the beginning of a long period of English dominance!

Put him on a green top in northern england vs anderson with the ball swinging both ways on a 5-10 degree celcius day, I think he will have lots of problems. To be honest, the only batsmen who can bat in England in previous years is is the English batsmen (because everyone else freezes to death as soon as they get off the plane). | ||

Tendulkar announced his decision on Wednesday afternoon, via a BCCI statement, like he had done when he retired from ODIs in December 2012.

Yeah i think England will win due to the superior batting line up. Already in the warm up games (yes i guess warm up but still) they have been in fine form. Remember last Ashes in Australia where England where winning due to out batting Australia? Making like 500 and skittling out Aussie for 250 and just using that huge 1st innings lead to romp home. I have a feeling it will be like that in the first test. | ||

The last couple of years I have basically only watched the IPL and not cared at all about any other cricket. Twenty20 is definitely the way forward I personally think they should just drop test cricket entirely its truly dire. England suck at twenty20 but who cares an entertaining game is far more important than England doing well. | ||

England are currently attempting to Bazball the Aussies. That won't mean much to people who don't follow cricket, but the current result is that no one has scored more runs in seven overs against Australia since 1936. On the other hand, England have also lost a wicket in trying to score so quickly. I'm so hype for this series. Whether or not England win, we're definitely going to make it entertaining with this ridiculous brand of test cricket that we're playing.  | ||
