So barring an epic collapse, looks like an India-Pakistan final. Wow.

No cricket fan would have expected that given Pakistan's play the last couple of years, so good on them. Hopefully we have a good final with no rain.

Congrats to Pakistan. A 180 run win is about as big a blowout as you can get in cricket. Also, the 8th seed winning must be one of the biggest Cinderella stories in cricket history.

Of course Indian fans are very angry at their performance. Bollywood actor Kamaal Rashid Khan went on an epic twitter rant accusing them of match fixing.

Great performance by Pakistan. I'm a biased towards bowlers so Amir taking out India's big three was the highlight for me.

Bump.

A fantastic ODI in Mumbai last night with New Zealand pulling out a 6 wicket victory over India. Good performances all around with centuries from Virat Kohli and Tom Latham. I am very excited for the rest of this India tour now, and the season of cricket to come!

Good knock by Latham, solid win. Not sure what Ross was doing in the end, instead of going for a big hit and his century he kept knocking it around only to get caught out.

Sri Lanka in a tough spot. Sanga and Mahela are long gone and limited over teams are struggling big time. Whitewashed by India, South Africa and now Pakistan for 12 straight ODI losses.

Hopefully they can turn it around soon. Would suck if they fall aside like Windies and Zimbabwe have.

I'm enjoying the first Ashes test so far. It's still anyone's game and we're almost at the end of day 3!

When I used to work for Liquorland, XXXX would give us tickets to the Ashes games at the Gabba.
Good times.

Australia firmly in control now with all their wickets in hand and only 56 runs to go. England's batting was pretty weak the second time around with only Joe Root making 50.

Australia wins! England was looking good for the first two days but then the Aussies took control. The English have not won at the Gabba since 1986.

The next one is in Adelaide on the 2nd. The pink ball will be out for the first ever day night Ashes test.

The Ashes series has been a dud, but Alastair Cook has now claimed a pretty incredible record in the fourth test:



Had the work TV on it all day. What an innings, to stand out there in front of 90,000 opposing fans and take on some of the best bowlers and fielders in the world, face more than 400 deliveries and hardly make any mistakes. One of the best Test innings I've seen in my short time as a cricket fan. Now that the series has already been decided England finally looking like they might win one.

I was at the Sydney Cricket Ground today for the 3rd day of the test. Unfortunately it was a mostly boring and uneventful day with the Aussies batting all day and only losing 2 wickets.

The Aussie batters dug in and slowly added the runs up which wasn't the most exciting for the fans but put them in a winning position. The English bowling, other than Anderson, was pathetic and at times it felt like they were just going through the motions.

It was still a fun sitting outside drinking beers in a great atmosphere and any day where the English get smashed is a good day. Also, I managed a personal half century, spending over $50 on beer

It's over! The Aussies win the series 4-0.

Also, we have a new Canadian cricket fan:

Possibly the best catch ever in the BBL last night:
