The summer of Test cricket thread

[Cooperman]

Lord’s two thirds empty for day four. No wonder when the cheapest ticket is £95. The people who run cricket are twats.

Ninety five quid, my word. If you were to ask me what I thought it would cost I would have said £40.

Bazball goes white ball as well as red ball.

Brendon McCullum’s most pressing task is to change England’s white-ball mood

New Zealander faces ludicrous schedule but his new role brings welcome certainty for the players

It does but it’s a hell of a schedule for someone with a young family. I’ll be amazed of he lasts till 2028.

Pakistan made a ridiculous first innings declaration at 448-6 on day two of the first test against Bangladesh. They’re just about to lose on day five by 10 wickets. Serves ‘em right. Twats.

They beat them in the second test as well. Only a third away series win for the Bangla's.

Two good games too.

Some people on social media wrote how unhappy Gus Atkinson seemed at times during his brilliant Edgbaston debut.

His head must have been in fvcking turmoil - at what was going on in court at the same time.

Hadn’t heard about this, was excellent on his debut under intense pressure and with a huge thing in his life happening elsewhere.

England have gone full Bazball today for the first time this summer. 5.6 an over so far.

44 overs today. 46 lost to bad light despite a full house and floodlights. Literally no one would have been in danger. Cricket is a wonderful, inspirational and intensely stupid game. It’s almost like it’s hastening its own demise at times.

Watching Duckett and his ramp shots was quite something.

TIMBER !!!!!

Some silly batting this morning.

Seven wickets thrown away in less than one session, fair play
