At least they're putting up a bit of competition and spirit in this game. Last two games played by Windies were pathetic, I'm hoping at least a bit of comeback from them in this one.

The attitude of the West Indies players is the reason why they are performing so poorly. None of these guys want to play for the national team. All they want is money and fame from the T20 leagues such as the IPL and BBL.

Actually, it's not entirely players fault. Let's be honest, for (almost) all cricket players around the world, money does come before the country. If Cricket Australia announces a cut of 90% from salaries of the national team players, how many of those players will leave? Probably much more than a half, and even if they'll continue to play, their quality of playing will get damaged. Put this case in for West Indies, look at Chris Gayle. He simply never enjoys (and hardly bothers) playing for the national team because he doesn't get paid enough, once he joins the leagues like IPL, just like right now, he puts out some big effort.

It's simple. Good living literally comes before country representation. Windies are facing lack of funds for further development of their cricket team, and it's not only (or at least not entirely) the fault of players but also the fault of board that they're being left behind in dust.

While the focus has been on Australia vs South Africa (and to a lesser extent on West indies a Pakistan), New Zealand have been able to salvage a draw against England. England must be disappointed, not being able to get the tail out. They were 2 wickets away from victory. With this draw, they have extended their streak of winless test matches abroad.

New Zealand tail-end batsmen can be very tough to get out, especially in home conditions. And this time it was the turn of Ish Sodhi to battle it out at Christchurch. It also exposes how toothless the English bowling attack is.

1st we have to appreciate Neil Wagner god he faced 103 balls and scored only 7 runs (1 four included) can't imagine how he batted. this will tell how poorly England bowlers bowled and Ish Sodhi also played great innings. with this draw, New Zealand won this test series by 1-0.

The actual problem is West Indies cricket board, They are not giving good support to the players that's why the players choosing IPL and BBL to make some money.

It was the worst innings batting by Australia. Only two batsmen scored double-digit score and rest all of them got out for just single digit number. It was expected that Australia will lose this match but never thought that they lose the match even giving a little fight also. SA side Philander took six wickets in 13 overs and just gave 21 runs and five maiden overs. SA bowling was superb in this second innings.

I was expecting something like this. They were without two of their best batsmen (Steve Smith and David Warner). Even the absence of Bancroft affected them negatively. On top of that, their morale was really low. In addition to all this, their best bowler (Mitchell Starc) was out injured.

Australians were a demoralized lot, with South Africa not enforcing the follow on even when they could do so. It is daunting enough to bat in the fourth innings with a target of 612, but to do so with 3 of your top batsmen sitting out with a ban is even tougher. In the end, it just took one session for Philander to wrap things up on the final day.

Over all Australia done very poor after this incidence because suddenly moral was too much down and body language was also not good as they need to overcome from this but now its going to take too much time good thing its last match for them in this season now they have time for thinking about this and need to do some planing for future  as they lost few world class batsmen and leader feeling very bad for smith as he was my favorite player right now with Root and Williamson but he commit suicide now we cannot expect things like this from him as media blaming Warner as master mind for this all I still have respect for Smith

This result was expected but seriously Australia needs to work hard or else they will suffer in 2019 world cup.

West Indies vs Pakistan final T20 match started, WI opt to bat first opener Chadwick Walton out for zero runs, Pakistan already won this series by 2-0. I think today also they will win this match and make this series 3-0.

Pakistan won easily, just as expected. Windies team is mostly young and un-experienced, but still they should have put up at least some fight instead of losing both the matches this miserably.

About playing with India or Australia, as far as I remember, wasn't the Champions Trophy last time Pakistan faced both the teams and won both the matches? I think that was the last time Pakistan faced off India or Australia in Cricket.

Pakistan team performance is very inconsistent and I agree that their bowling team is much better than batting. But currently, we all know that WI team is facing a lot of internal issues and lot of new players so they may need more time to come back to the form.

Currently, even Australia also need some time to come out ball tempering issue and they are mostly losing the current test match quite badly against SA. They need around 524 runs with a win the match and got 7 more wickets.

South Africa beat Australia by 492 runs

This can't get more ridiculous. They seriously require some extreme hard work now, else they can get themselves further ruined. I just refuse to believe that it's Australia that has been beaten this badly. Roll Eyes

Australia will definitely lose the series against SA.SA lead by 389 runs and they have still 7 wickets in hand.So they will make big score tomorrow and make a big target for Australia.So this was a bad test series for aussei and it will be hard to come back for them.
After the last test this result was expected because rest of players are down in moral and body language is also not good enough so very poor batting from top order and just good resistance from tail enders give respectable runs on board but still they are going to lost this test by big margin
England is in full control and they are also going to win this match as good come back from them after losing first test very badly still some work to done but they have good chance now time for Cook to give up as he is not performing for some time

I agree that this was to be expected from the Australian team. They are in a bad way right now and it could take a long time before they get them self out of this mess. Nothing seems to be going right for them at the moment, I think its going to take at least 6 months or so before they start to feel good again once the new coach comes in whoever that may be. As an Australian myself its very hard and sad to see this happen to the team and I just hope they can pull them self out of this dark spot.
Yeah i think all of their team members including coach and caption (smith) as well as their vice caption (warner) are involved in it and i think thaat is the time they caught who who knows that how long they are doing that kind of shit in huge matches like worldcup or champions trophy. I think icc has to bann the whole team members who are involved in this shit for atleast 2 to 3 years like they have done before to pakistan on match fixing.

It will be hard to see Australia save this test match even though Shaun Marsh is at the crease who is a patient batsman and can survive a whole day but not sure about the other batsman in the Australian lower order. If they can pull it off and save the match it would be a huge stepping stone moving forward after everything that has gone on in this series. It will be the first time in a long time since Australia lost a series in South Africa which was a credit to the Australian team to achieve as we know South Africa have been a top team for over 20 years so for Australia to have this record is amazing but it looks like its finally going to come to an end as South Africa will win the series.

Today WI facing Pakistan in the second T20 match. WI already lost very badly the first T20 match so not sure how they will play today. Pakistan team also not very consistent so anything can happen in this short format game so if you plan to bet on Pakistan do your homework correctly and bet the amount which you're ready to lose. Do not know how long these WI players underperform for their country because most of these players play for clubs nicely.
Same repeated in this match West Indies lost this game very badly, Once again Pakistan made a big total in this series they scored 205 runs with the loss of 3 wickets in 20 overs. superb batting from Babar Azam bad luck he scored 97 runs not out missed century in just 3 runs. West Indies got all out for just 123 runs. pakistan won this game by a big margin 82 runs. Congrats Pakistan.

Lol, Pakistani batsmen only hit the runs with the cheap teams who is not at all in the top ranks. If played with India or Australia. They would not hit the half century as well.
Waiting to see the match with Indian team since they are rivalry team for long time.
However, good luck for the teak today.

South Africa set Austrailia 612 runs to win this match. total 4 sessions left chasing this target is impossible but AUS can save this match by playing safe batting let's see how they will bat in 2nd innings.

No one can save the Aussies. Their morale is at rock bottom and therefore don't expect them to perform miracles. I feel bad for them. They are being hounded by the media (both international and Australian).
Australia lost the match before the toss itself because of the ball tampering incident, they were mentally not fit enough to overcome that incident. Now it's just a formality for the Saf to complete the match and win the series by3-1. Saf played well after the loss in the 1st test match they came back strongly and went on to win the series.
