    England currently 72/3 on Day One of the First Test - suddenly, our own collapse doesn't look too bad!

    Australia say no to an Ireland test match next summer due to lack of time :( They've only enough time for one warm up match and have opted for an English County instead.

    There will be a 4 day test vs England at Lord's though. But you can't catch the dart to that.

    Why 4 days? I mean fair enough, I don't think England will be able to bat 2 days either but what if a day gets rained off?





    :D

    If we lose a day to rain, then they'll probably be able to escape with a draw!

    Also, a 4 day test means that the follow-on target will be 150 runs rather than 200, so an English follow-on is less likely. ;)
