I interpreted McCullum's umbrage at being accused of 'running a loose ship' to be more focused on the 'running' bit. "Nobody's running anything mate. We've put the sail up and we're going to see where the wind takes us."

What shall we do with the drunken captain of the HMS McCullum? Chuck him in the long boat ātil heās sober? Or just leave him alone to pursue a T20 World Cup win?

Loving the book āThe 50 Most Ridiculous Ashes Momentsā by
@liebcricket.com
and
@kingcricket.co.uk
! The only slightly annoying thing is finding out that Pat Cummins is funny in addition to being great at literally everything else. Greedy sod.

Good, unbiased review. I overheard someone on a tram the other day saying the book was evocative of Lou Reed! Or perhaps they said it was a provocative loo read. Either way, worth purchasing.

If you enjoyed that ridiculous first Ashes Test, and would now like to book tickets to future matches in the series, can I recommend that you immediately rush to your preferred search engine and type 'ridiculous ashes book'.

Watching Brook's dismissal, I just cannot fathom why he didn't take the sensible option of running down the pitch and trying to cart it over extra cover for six.

I do think the counties should play on 10mm green seamers more often to better prepare England players for the particular challenges of Ashes tours.

In The 50 Most Ridiculous Ashes Moments book,
@kingcricket.co.uk
and I do sometimes stretch the definition of āmomentā to talk about specifically absurd and dreadful entire England tours. Where will the current one fit into a future edition? Buy the book, make your notes and let us know.

Today England said that Bashir is still their No.1 spinner. In that case the question becomes, "Why do you put so little value in spin bowling that you play without your best spinner?"

Best of luck to Will Jacks but it is just grim that England have a squad where he is seen as the best spin option.
