I think being ranked #1 in the world means a lot to Test cricketers.

Whereas in football I don't think the players concern themselves too much with FIFA rankings.

All it does is quell a couple of pub arguments. You're playing maybe a dozen tests a year against maybe 3 of the nations.

I'd love to see a graph of the average total scores over the last 20 odd years to see how much things have increased since the introduction of T20.

Ravi really should have bowled more at the end, most economical of all the bowlers while Stokes conceded 5 sixes in the last 6 overs.

With Faulks starting to do this regularly, and with the other talent in the team, there is much to look forward to.


As much as I love Faulkner, Bev did do it with a bit more style :p

Brought back memories as a kid in the 90s watching Bevan do that to West Indies and New Zealand.
