Watching the cricket highlights and this would appear to be the least skill-ful display of bowling by an England team that I can remember in my life #ashes

England‘s strategy is to bankrupt Cricket Australia by only playing two day matches. Come 2036 it will really start to reap benefits.

The Bazball era brought success to English cricket after a fairly dire run under Root. But, batting-wise, unsustainable and ‘thick’. I DO think they have done well to talent spot. And like how they never give up when bowling - real plus of Stokes’ captaincy. But it’s done, gone, over #ashes

Wonder if any of England’s squad of ‘here for a good time not a long time’ batters wondering if it’s time to reappraise their approach #ashes
