My main takeaway is that he travelled with the team, does he selected team as well as the squad. If he is then I feel that a 'National Selector' on tour should have been taking those end of play press conferences instead of assistant coaches

TNT Sports again! When will it end?

Or is that just what they want us the think...?

Someone hasn’t seen his record at Welsh Fire! big asterisk for me

This is exactly why my mum barged her way into the cockpit of every plane we ever got on. She took down three air marshals last time, and then successfully landed a Boeing 747 on a French aircraft carrier which was on patrol in the South Pacific. Unfortunately the flight was meant to go to Luton.

See Mum all the time I spent gaming was to errr improve my eyesight..

You know that they say never meet your heroes at the casino bar in the hotel during what should have been day three of a Test you've flown to the other side of the world to watch

Grim reading I don't think anyone really begrudges them a night out and if they want to reduce their physical performance with alcohol that is their choice, judge on results but it does seem like there were a lot of nights out www.telegraph.co.uk/cricket/2026...

Has he been kidnapped? This feels like a cry for help

One for #TheAshes I spent too much time making this.

Call me mad but this game seems a lot like Perth but with the roles reversed. What’s stopping an under par Aussie third innings then a rapid Zak Crawley Hundred?

At least in Duncan Fletcher’s day they waited until the World Cup after the Ashes to get pissed and go on a Pedalo

The BBC are doing Carrot in a box with Cricketers? A Timeless format www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricke...

The consistency of selection Crawley enjoys is that they feel he has rare strengths but if they drop him there is no chance he’d ever be able to force he way back with weight of runs

Breaking News: Harry Brook signs for Cricket Scotland in major coup

A Test like this is such a selection confirmer because England could have picked 5 XIs and they'd have done well at home Vs Zimbabwe. Now if they haven't picked the XI (top seven really) they want Vs India they've got a problem as they will have to drop someone who has performed

He will of course be extoling the setups new found and deeply felt humility but there is no doubt that Bashir is taking down Muralitharan

England's batters should be looking at this as a big opportunity to get a few runs in the bank. Looks a decent pitch and the bowling isn't anything spectacular

The England players at the IPL should stay there and Jonny Bairstow should get a farewell ODI series

What are the Lankies up to at Northampton

Jason Roy...Playing Cricket at Edgbaston...those are words I haven't heard in a long time

Happy New Joe Abercrombie book release week to all those who celebrate

Say what you like about Cumbria but there are about five days a year when it is best place to be in the entire world

Ok fine I'll check if my wetsuit fits

Proving the haters wrong is £7 official merch

Got a Mile PB in the Pool then got home for a Big Yorkshire win, Big Newcastle win and a GRussy masterclass in a the GP, Had worse Sundays

To say that Jonny B is living dangerously is a bit of an understatement but hope he can hang around long enough to get a bit of rhythm going for the summer

I've always felt from a pastoral care point of view it was good for English players to have a 'parent county' to look after them beyond a simple 6-8w contract If local players want to sign basically a Blast Overseas contract then its difficult for Counties to do that

Not even sure what my point is, I suppose it’s that if the IPL can have players there for vibes then so can the hundred even if I think being happy see someone having a net after the game is over is tinpot

CSK fans Going wild for MSD hitting a couple of boundaries after the game is long dead but there was no place for James Anderson at the Hundred

People on 'x' are getting very excited (racist) about a Mosque being build in 'the lake district' but I fear they can't as local as they claim as they don't realise Dalton in Furness isn’t in the Lake District.

When the real Liverpool show up in the second half, we will always have half time in the league Cup Final 2025

Hearing Harry Brook has been banned from the IPL for two years the dream of a Root, Brook, Bairstow Yorkshire middle order is one step closer

Northern Super Chargers getting Crawley is a big win for their comedy offering, sad they didn't bring YJB home tho

Been a clown show for years so why not make the ground look like a Circus

Reform U.K. gone woke, removing the whip because of a bit of bullying? That is the kind of hostile workplace they were suppose to be fighting for

We're one more Key interview from my interest dropping to 0%

Key mate, you had a good run while Jonny Bairstow, Harry Brook were batting like Bradman and Broady was there for vibes but it all fell though a while ago and you've been exposed.

In terms of the top seven it's two changes from the side who lined up Vs Australia in the Summer. Root and Buttler in for Jacks and Bethell, Buttler injured then and Bethell injured now. I think you can't judge BMac as an ODI Coach until he has had a chance to put more of a stamp on

McCullum has only been in charge for the England ODI side for two months. He has basically continued the decisions made by those who came before but what else could he have done on the eve of an ICC Event?

England sticking a previously untested player at three based on a good start to their Test career to play Australia in the first game of a ICC competition? That can't have happened before Better Ballance to the side though

Good Innings you've put together there, be a shame if someone came along and smashed it to pieces.

There was just a brief phase where sides with good run a ball accumulators + acceleration at the end would go out get 320-350 and then England would get it in 45 overs spinning on their cocks.

How many Cricketers out there having a career mostly based off only scoring runs against England? Devon Conway in that last two years of ODIs

My Drafts after finding out the MCC had chipped in for Middlesex signing Kane Williamson.

Signed until 2028, a moment in the tip and lifetime on the hip for the ecb

I think the question we’re all asking with the Hundred sale will the crisp sponsors be staying?

Wonder if there is any merch going cheap? Attending games in an Originals Cap with a personalised T-shirt saying ‘I’m here for the fresh tactical dimension’ Yeah I didn’t like me first
