Hi Team, Wrt Pakistan v England, There was three or four weeks notice that two Tests would be played at Multiple and a fresh strip WAS being prepared. Apparently the fear was that a fresh strip would be just as much of a road as the first!
Australia have been really showing good games lately. Yes, they still have room to grow but I believe it will be even more interesting next season. While I myself watch how things are going in Nigeria - https://mel-bet.ng Local professional cricket looks good too. Were you interested in the national championship of Nigeria?
Sometimes it is very difficult to make a choice. Thank you for providing more information. I wouldn't have done a full analysis of the situation on my own. I also check what the bookmakers say - https://melbet001.com/ If I see that my chances of winning are high, then I force myself to take risks)
