I think we should whitewash the Aussies.

The Aussies are in turmoil with changes to players and management.

England look a complete team.

Cricket explained

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.

When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game.

Simple!

A googlie is a bowl from a spinner that spins the opposite way to normal. Silly mid on and silly mid off are the fielders that stand really close to the batsman. An over is 6 bowls and you swap ends after every over.

Bare this in mind no offside rule in Cricket, but LBW (leg before wicket).

"how many overs in an inning?"

In a five day test there is no over limit, just bat until you're all out or declare (voluntarily end your innings thinking you have enough runs to win the match)

We have a few South Africans in our team....don't ask why lol, oh and the Irish! The Australians fast tracked a Pakistani (I think) citizenship which makes him available for selection too!

Serious question....why is the team referred to as England when it includes Wales ? Assuming my facts are correct. Best of luck none the less.
