The Windies series has been postponed until later in the summer. No cricket at all until at least the 1st July, that's basically half the summer gone already

And even if there is cricket in the summer there wont be a crowd there.
Getting a bit twitchy at the lack of cricket already... probably compounded by the lack of football and the nice weather. Sat on my balcony earlier thinking about how i miss being sat in the pavilion as number 11 after bowling 8 overs of pure filth watching the shadows get longer on a clear summer's day with a belly full of tea. Sigh...

Would have been my first ever cricket game. The wait goes on...
The last few weeks would have been lovely cricket watching weather. You can guarantee that if cricket does resume in July or August, it'll rain every day!
Baseball is probably amongst the lower end of problematic team sports due to the lack of physical contact and the players wearing gloves much of the time. With cricket, the spitting on the ball to polish it would be an issue...
I imagine rugby will have a real problem returning, as there's no way forwards can even do basic practice without contact. How do you practice scrums, mauls and rucks by yourself?
I've stuck this on here because I didn't want to start a new thread but, without the aid of Google etc etc, see if you can offer an answer to this question.
Below is a table of the players who have hit the most 6s in the history of Test cricket. The person in 15th place is somewhat unique because he hasn't a Test hundred to his name. So who is he?
1. Brendon McCullum 107 2. Adam Gillchrist 100 3. Chris Gayle 98 4. Jacques Kallis 97 5. Virender Sehwag 91 6. Brian Lara 88 7. Chris Cairns 87 8. Viv Richards 84 9. Andrew Flintoff 82 10. Matthew Hayden 82 11. Misbah-ul-Haq 81 12. Kevin Pietersen 81 13. MS Dhoni 78 14. Ricky Ponting 73 15. ???????????? 72
Must be a bowler. Starc? I know he’s scored a 99, but not sure if he’s got a ton? Or Southee? He can wallop it, but don’t know if he’s scored a ton either.

I've no idea what their preparation was, but I imagine it was the bare minimum
Mark Wood out of the Sri Lanka series injured
Great player and bloke, but hopelessly fragile
