“Ruddy run rates

I still remember him and Brearley totally farking up the World Cup Final in 1979. Pair of snails taking up loads of overs. Tosspot used to bowl by turning his cap the wrong way round too.

Everyone following had to swing the bat against the West Indies. Loads of ducks and wasted talent...Gower, Botham, Randall, Gooch, all wasted. They'd have lost anyway of course, but still.

And anyway, why punish the players for the groundsman preparing a sub standard wicket?

It was probably cooked over a thousand miles away in fairness, these drop in pitches don't travel well in a Boeing 787 Dreamliner. # Technology

My favourite part of the Boxing Day test was Labuschagne’s tantrum at being given out on (umpire) review despite being clearly caught cleanly at slip. I do not like Marnus.

I concur.
I don’t think he gives 100% for Glamorgan which is very unprofessional. He’s happy to trouser the money though.

Five hours. We go again. One last time. Forlorn. Defeated. But always optimistic. I reckon if we can get back to 3-2 we can claim to have retained the moral Ashes. Yes. Let’s go with that.
