Just got this fixture list.
Rules out a day at the Test for me.
Dunno what sort of a gate there will be at PE. I think that Durban would be a better venue.

One of the reasons why I purchased a property near CPT is that the New Year Test is held there and also in 2021 a British and Irish Lions tour is taking place, don’t tell MrsWoody

I'm wondering if the new generation of quickies do well at the 50 over game, whether or not there will be pressure to include them in the Test team.
Then again, the new guys might fail.
There has long been a vacancy for a quick bowler in the England team.....alas, Broad is still being selected.
Good news though....World cup starts today !

Mrs 4ma has booked the telly for the next six weeks when there's a cricket match on. She was impressed by the Windies bowlers today - she thinks that an avalanche of short deliveries is their game plan for this tournament.

The Windies bowlers impressed me during the recent England tour there.

Why in gods name do we suddenly need change strips?

Men against boys!
Watching the goings on at Old Trafford, Afghanistan shouldn't be in this event.
Ireland, Scotland or Zimbabwe would have put up a better show,

Possibly, but the BCCI, moved the goalposts when India didn’t qualify for the semifinals of the last tournament, reducing the number of teams that played in the tournament.
