Steve Smith has cocked this up slightly in my opinion. Started wasting time, adjusting fields, just to make sure they didn't bat tonight. Allowed England to add vital runs here at the end of the day. #Ashes

Such sad news about Robin Smith. I still think his 148* for England at Lord's against the West Indies in 1991 is one of the greatest innings I've seen. Such an exciting player to watch. Loved that square cut of his.

RIP Judge

Against some very good bowling, Australia batting sensibly to try and weather the storm. Take note, England. #Ashes2025

Nasser called this during the Headingley Test against India. Brook was caught on the boundary that day hooking and he said doing that in Australia would be foolish with the bigger grounds. But it’s how they play apparently. Idiots. #Ashes2025

Thanks England. No point going back to bed now and you’ve completely ruined my day with your pathetic batting. Nice one. #Ashes2025
