That's like next year...January 14...the one I'm looking forward to is Australia v. New Zealand which I think starts November 18. I honestly don't know which side to take but I'll probably end up cheering for the Aussies!!
Australia v West Indies..that'll hopefully be good.

Cricket in Australia is always wonderful to watch. I won't be able to watch it at home because of our cable operators.
This year Pakistan and New Zealand are playing Test Mathces in Australia. From this year New Zealand will play a three match one-day series every year. The West Indies and Pakistan will participate in the world series, the annual triangular one-day competition.
There is still a lot of cricket coming up, but the next thing to really excite me has to be the VB series because my sweetheart is playing it.

West Indies have set Pakistan 274 and Dillon took two early wickets but Pakistan could still chase it.

West Indies have set Australia a modest total of 264 to win the fourth match of this series. This is the third match for the West Indies. If Australia win this match, they are almost in the final.

I forgot to write this yesterday. Australia have thrashed Pakistan in the fifth match of the VB series.
The table: Aus 20 pts from 4 matches. Pak 7 pts from 3 matches. WI 4 pts from 3 matches.

Pedro Collins took four early wickets to make Australia 4/38 but then Katich and Symonds are at the crease and with Haddin, Hogg, Lee, Gillespie and McGrath to come Australia could post a total big enough to defend.
The rain may come to the rescue of Australia yet again as the rain has been following them everywhere.
I hope the Windies can come back to form and then win this tournament. But Australia are still not out of it at 5/91 after ninteen overs as Hinds took the wicket of Symonds.
