After Deepak Chahar got a hat trick for India he went back back to the Syed Ali M. Trophy.....and got another one in the very next game.

Cant have happened often.

Didn't Peter Loader get two in the same game in the fifties?

I'm sure Wasim Akram got consecutive test hattricks in the early 2000s. Series v SL...and I think one was a rare top order one, the hattrick ball was to Mahela

SL to play first Tests in Pakistan since 2009.

They had some flat pitches back then. Hope they've sorted that out.

It looks like England are preparing for their Test series with NZ by playing NZA tonight. It's not obvious now long this will last. They have played a two day game already. I suppose it shows how deservedly overlooked tour games now are that this was hardly reported. You bowl for a day. You bat for a day. You draw. Everyone gets on the pitch. Sibley and Crawley got tons of sorts and then retired.

I see that honest Joe and hey ho Silveraway have come up with a 2 year ashes strategy that they think might work. It's a bit radical, but in essence they are going to have a bash at batting with patience, bowling with patience and moving the skip back to 4

That must be why we pay these people the big bucks, because i wouldn't have even thought of something that brilliant

Arthur's mate, ever smiling George Bailey, is to become Australia's newest cricket selector upon his retirement at the end of this domestic season.

First time Aus will have a selector that actually has played T20, let alone captained his country in it - as well as ODIs, and has played tests.

Geraint Jones has become a retained firefighter

he should be good at it, because as an England cricketer he was a bit of a damp squib

Play in the Sheffield Shield match between Victoria and WA was abandoned today to to a dangerous pitch. Strong doubt was expressed about the being any play on any of the other 3 days of the match.

Victoria often play home games at the Junction Oval (St Kilda) these days, but this one was back at the MCG.

Just as a test match will be less than 3 weeks time...

Thank goodness for Virat Kohli.......... not something I say that often.... but well done him for articulating what the millions of cricket watchers think and that the self serving, money grabbing, guardians of the game are trying to ignore

Ahead of the ICC discussions on reducing test cricket to 4 days, he said that a reduction to 4 days would lead to speculation about reducing it further to 3 days and eventually bring an end to test cricket altogether.

Now we all know this, but we don't have a voice so the bean counters and the politicoes can ignore us, but Virat Kohli has the unswerving support of the largest number of cricket supporters in the world, and what he says really matters because ultimately these 'guardians' have no principles, and people with no principles usually have no bottom either, so there has to be a very good chance that they'll, if not capitulate, at least kick this stupid idea into the long grass

what is perhaps most sad about this whole thing is that it has to come from a high profile India player, who is largely untouchable because of his extreme popularity

Any England player who questioned this sort of nonsense would be unceremoniously thrown under a bus by the ECB for disloyalty or for thinking he knew more than his betters
