Test Match series - lost

50 over series - drawn

First 20/20 - won

It remains to be seen whether this is a flash in the pan or we can win the next 2 T20 matches.

P.S. Why isn't Cricket a sub-topic of sport, if you can specify Football, Rugby, and Boxing why not Cricket ?

I don't think one game is enough to go on, or even one series against the WI.
We are ranked first in teh world at 50 overs bout only 4th at 20-20.

...which suggests we need more balls.

But yes if you look at full test cricket we are ranked 5, which suggests we are better with fewer balls up to a point.

PS- we don't need subcategories for Sport (or other categories) when the overall category gets so few questions
it's ODIs they need to be winning, as the world cup is coming up very soon..

The shorter the format, the more luck and chance are likely to play a role. Winnning or losing a T20 doesn't prove you're good or bad at the format; you could argue it was just Bairstow finally having a good day.

Nice one Jack :-D
We used to have a cricket sub-topic, but everyone who turned up fell asleep.
OG, were they really a Cricket section, I'm not doubting you i'd have nodded of as well.
it is customary for Englishmen to feign sleep during an Ashes series. However, this year's series at least shouldn't be a whitewash, unlike the last.
