Scored 211 and won by 82 runs. Kohli is a run machine.

After the brilliance and excitement of the T20 World Cup, Tests have returned and we have England on 13-0 off 8 overs. How the hell can anyone watch this shit?

Crazy how de Villiers goes for a duck in one game and they score 211 in 15 overs.

A couple of games before and Gayle goes for under 10 but they score 248

Next game I won't be surprised if kohli goes out cheaply only for Gayle and AB to set a record 300 run partnership.

Sadly there are only 120 balls per innings so we never get to see all 3 of them rip shit up

Always loved watching Warne, murali and Kumble as a kid, shah looks like the first guy since they retired that might have thw potnetial of carrying on the legacy of great spin bowling.

Sri Lanka just beat Australia but more importantly, Test cricket just died. Over 150 balls in a row during the Aussie 2nd innings without a run being scored. Horrific.

Haven't watched test cricket in years, but I remember it to always have been pretty much like this.

More importantly than Tests, England break the world record for most runs in an ODI
