    We keep giving games to the same old pensioners who do bugger all. It is the oldest side we have fielded since 1928. I do wonder if the tropical conditions in Darwin do favour Bangladesh. It is quite unusual for a test match to be played August in Australia. It is still very much the time of...

    World Cup 2026
