Superb performance by India. For all Kohli’s faults, his competitiveness makes for serious Test cricket

The top five ODI teams in the updated ranking are:
120 South Africa
119 India
116 England
115 New Zealand
112 Australia
And of course it so happens that New Zealand have five matches against England in Feb-Mar while South Africa v India moves to the 50-over game on Thursday (weirdly, playing a series of six matches).

1-0 to India, with Kohli yet again making a ton in a successful ODI chase.
Does anyone else listen to 'Stumped'? It's on the world service and, fittingly for this thread, Alison Mitchell takes a look at cricket across the globe. You can catch up on iPlayer Radio - the last one I heard had a section about Ngidi which was excellent.

So, I caught a bit of Big Bash stuff today on, of all channels, NBC Sport. I'm sure it doesn't really belong on the "International" cricket thread, but I don't know where else to put this.
The thing that got me was that it looked like an umpires was wearing a helmet. When did this happen? And, more importantly, why? Isn't it just going to be uncomfortable and marginally restrict the vision? Without offering any benefit, either, given that nobody's bowling bouncers at square leg.

Bit depressing that the front page of the Cricinfo page leads on the Big Bash and that information on the Bangla-Lanka test is nowhere prominent. I know the front page varies depending on geography, but as I'm sure I will have either the English or the International one I don't see why it should assume an interest in Aussie domestic cricket outweighs a Test match.

Edit - just realised I've posted 'Here' and 'Hear, hear' on this thread today. Should probably up my game a bit.

The Bangladesh/Sri Lanka test brings back memories of the ridiculous series between SL and Pakistan that might as well have been played on well paved highways.
SL currently 504 for 3 in reply to Bangladesh's 513Last edited by ursus arctos; 02-02-2018, 14:44.
