Boyle is an unfunny knob.

He's frustrating. Needs hypnosis or something.

New ball not taken because Philander can't be arsed

If Nortje had watched the Ashes, he'd be aiming at Woakes' head.

This is where Buttler prods around for half an hour and gets out for 10. Seems to be unable to retake the initiative in tests.

He is the worst of all time. Massive whopper

Crawley looked good yesterday. Looks to have plenty of shots and a decent temperament. He reminds me a little of Trescothick, especially when he's driving through the covers and down the ground. There is also a similarity there in being picked on potential rather than his first class record. Still early days but it will be interesting to see what happens when Burns comes back. Denly, who I like, needs runs in Sri Lanka or it might be him making way. He hasn't looked great against spin here. Hopefully things are on the up, batting wise. Sterner tests to come of course.

Just saw this. I am a big fan of gravy, including on chips, but it's a massive no for me on haggis. It would ruin it.

I like this thought but I reckon he's egotistical enough to derive pleasure from the increasingly glowing spotlight it places upon his own tenure. 'tis ever more about the man rather than the club.

MacSween's is the business

A few weeks out might do him a bit of good. He must need a rest. As long as he's back for Atletico Madrid.

Liew is very good. The best sports writer out there for me. Hopefully he stays with The Guardian rather than taking coin from the Athletic.

Good article from Liew on them. Solskjær’s Manchester United are meeting expectations despite unrest https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2020/jan/23/ole-gunnar-solskjaer-manchester-united-meeting-expectations?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Copy_to_clipboard
