The Ashes will be lost before I open the Christmas pâté. This makes me sad.
It's disgraceful. The boxing day test used to be quite an occasion. It doesn't matter now, the Ashes are lost AGAIN. Bazball my ass . Bazbollocks. Get back to playing test cricket like it should be played, though i doubt we have many batsmen that could consistently grind out big hundreds.
 
Swann just nailed the Brook dilemma on TNT. He is what he is. He’s not going to nurdle his way to a 250 ball century so if we’re gonna love the match winning innings you’ve got to accept that he’s gonna get himself out in what look like stupid ways.
I strongly disagree.

You can be aggressive but still have a brain. Playing one of the all time greats with a reverse sweep when the ball is pitched in line with the stumps is dumb.

When outside the line it makes some sense. It’s percentages, if he is to be a top player he has to add a little bit of mental toughness and game situation awareness.

When they reached 10-15 overs left of days play they should have shut up shop.

If that was done who knows it could well be 2:1 now.

I just think a message needs to be sent
