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 ’til he’s sober? Or just leave him alone to pursue a T20 World Cup win? www.kingcricket.co.uk/what-shall-w...

Reminded me of the DF "run reaper"

Loving the book “The 50 Most Ridiculous Ashes Moments” 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.

Only a couple of weeks late publishing this.

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.

Book review: The 50 Most Ridiculous Ashes Moments by Dan Liebke and Alex Bowden, foreword by Pat Cummins Great book, apparently www.kingcricket.co.uk/book-review-...

Did you see… Harry Brook’s first ball in Melbourne? Unquestionably the 2025/26 Ashes’ finest moment www.kingcricket.co.uk/did-you-see-...

Steve Smith, Mitch Marsh, Jonny Bairstow and Joe Denly… now THAT was a fifth Ashes Test www.kingcricket.co.uk/steve-smith-...

aka, speaking, out of turn. Why I'm sick of both England and Australia.

Did you see… Steve Smith backed into a corner by the legendary finger spin of Will Jacks? www.kingcricket.co.uk/did-you-see-...

Big day. Big, familiar day. Big, familiar, shit day.

They got there in the end: England have finally brought a timeless, familiar, seemingly unavoidable brand of agony to this Ashes series www.kingcricket.co.uk/they-got-the...

We're finally, unequivocally, in that old familiar hell again. www.kingcricket.co.uk/england-end-...

Without spoiling our coverage of the 2019 Ridiculous Ashes too much, @kingcricket.co.uk and I spend a LOT of time breaking down Steve Smith’s oddness. #Ashes 🏏

Gloriously awful cricket.

The most interesting thing about these two teams' strategies is waiting for them to backfire.

Is this the way?

Mutual dullness shall pass, but for now Australia and England deserve each other | an Ashes 5th Test preview www.kingcricket.co.uk/mutual-dulln...

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'. #Ashes 🏏

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. #disgrace #sendhimhome

Every different report or commentary on, or reaction to, Harry Brook's first ball, I just love it and him even more.

A glimpse of the anthropomorphic urn in person. Wonderful to be so close to so much history and heritage. #Ashes 🏏

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 ‘moment’ 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. #Ashes 🏏

A great way to comfort yourself over this Ashes defeat if you’re English is to buy the book The 50 Most Ridiculous Ashes Moments, by me and @kingcricket.co.uk, with a foreword by Ashes-winning Captain Pat Cummins. #Ashes 🏏 uk.bookshop.org/a/13129/9781...

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?"

In praise of the matter-of-fact dynamism of Travis Head www.kingcricket.co.uk/in-praise-of...

England's two strongest performers so far, I reckon.

Sky Sports has boiled its Ashes coverage down to its purest and greatest form: Mike Atherton and Nasser Hussain standing there talking about what’s gone wrong www.kingcricket.co.uk/sky-sports-h...

Seems they're not picking him because he's not in form. But when did they ever pick him based on form?

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.
