Mostly just niche cricket jokes that don’t quite work. Kasprowicz’s hand was off the bat. Opinions barely my own & often contradictory.
What if England win from there though? Don’t think I could bear THIS being vindicated.

We all excited for the press conference tonight? England putting up a physio to tell us they’re not interested in the draw?

England reinventing test cricket (losing a Test to a Gambhir-led India who don’t even have Bumrah)

I like each of these England bowlers but I’m not sure they add up to an attack, somehow.

Even with England so far behind the game, it must be hard for India to know what their declaration target is here

Really think the “get the tail in” tactic is worth a go
Good tactic for the afternoon might be to get the tail in and bring on Josh Tongue. Just a thought.

Umpires have become soft. If you leave the ball and it hits you, that’s a bad leave. Automatically out and you can take your chances with DRS.

Remember in the last season of Game of Thrones we thought it was dead unrealistic that the nepo-baby just became a tyrannical despot for stupid reasons, whilst saying deeply thick things that sounded like they were written by a four year old?
And then Elon Musk happened in real life?

Dropping Rohit is a wild move. No idea if it’s a right one, but definitely quite a shock. Can’t remember another move like it in recent history?

If the cricketing schedule is that bad, why isn’t there an England Test Match for me to watch right now? Makes you think.

Usually when you wake up and check a scorecard you can get a decent idea of how the innings panned out and what the plan was.
This one… I’m baffled.

24 overs in 2hr 10 for Australia so far.
No let up for the India batters.
It’s a tactic.

The fact it finished early is irrelevant. In fact, slow over rates can contribute to that. It means captains don’t have to find as many overs and their bowlers stay fresher.
Don’t think Ben Stokes is overly impressed with the ICC

Mitchell Starc is so good with the pink ball, you can see why they used to try and sand the colour off the red one for him.

Come to Lord’s for a day’s Test Cricket! Only £180!
“Oh wow, £2 per over?”
In theory! Probably more like £2.20!
“Do you have any good players?”
Well they haven’t played much before. But they’re tall!
“And are we in with a shot at a title?”
Don’t know, don’t understand it! Are you engaged yet?!

Now then
For each over not bowled, the captain has one extra shot added to every round of golf for a year
There’s a really easy way to sort over rates, too, by the way.
You can’t change the field til you catch up to the rate.
That includes left-hand, right-hand (slips can switch sides to avoid the no ball).
