Banging it in short has worked well. Always seems a great plan.

And that  was that.

That was fun. Glad I fucked work off early.

Fantastic test match. 1500+ runs. 35 wickets taken. Dropped catches. 77 ball century. New captain hitting the winning runs Game won in the last hour on day 5.

Best test I’ve watched in a long long time.

Great innings from Bairstow. Fuck off, Bairstow.

 

Yeah, that's 3 Test centuries this year, I think.

 

Not altogether bad from a bloke who shouldn't be in the team.

Watched the higlights tonight.

 

That was brilliant.

That is how a test match should be. All too often, winning the toss and a long first innings dictates the outcome of the match by day 2. For it to go the distance and essentially still be in the balance at tea on day 5 makes it one of the best test matches in quite some time. Not quite Edgbaston 2005 or Headingley 2019 but it's up there.

Helps having two teams trying to win. Not often the case.

England just scored 498 in 50 overs v Holland, sure TK played for the Dutch.

Reckon it was Cloggy and 10 of his mates straight out of one of those 'specialist' cafes.

Fascinating cricket. Looking forward to Australia playing against Andorra next.

Be full of woolybacks,

BBC think there may be a debut for (Lancs) Luke Wood or (Glouc) David Payne today. I was hoping to see if Brydon Carse was worth the hype.

[Jarvinja Ilnow 1,745]

Carse is bowling 90+ mph now. Hopefully he can stay fit this year.

[TheBitch 3,958]

Anyone want tickets for Day 3 at Edgbaston? Got a few mates who can’t make it now. 

[Jairzinho 25,462]

Anderson injured for the last test.

[sir roger 8,978]

Seemed they were looking to rest him or Broad forr the India game anyway. Both Overtons might play. Believe Stokes is touch and go too.

[lifetime fan 12,712]

Will Young looking Evergreen. 

[lifetime fan 12,712]

Will Young gotta Leave Right Now. 

[lifetime fan 12,712]

Stay Strong Will, you don’t need many Changes to Your Game and you’ll Switch It On again. 

[Jairzinho 25,462]

Claim to fame - One of my neighbours from about a decade ago bummed Will Young.
