Do read the whole thread, but as it says, "it’s especially ironic because the lecture is exactly about the ‘paralyzing cowardice’ of today’s elites."

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

In many ways 'Bazball' is a narrative necessary to explain away the wholly inevitable impact of T20 and The Hundred on Test Cricket.

I’m fuming after hearing McCullum blaming the bowlers for not hitting their length following two abject and disastrous batting displays. The first innings bowling put us in a very good position.
Bazball has killed test cricket for me - it’s just a slogathon now and it’s tedious.

The fact that Steve Smith thinks cheating at cricket makes him ‘cleverer’ than Monte Panesar says a lot about his lack of sense of shame over the incident.

Weatherald gets nod to open in series opener in Perth
Australia captain Steve Smith has confirmed his team for Friday’s opening Ashes Test – but the announcement was overshadowed by an extraordinary verbal attack on Monty Panesar after the former England spinner suggested Ben Stokes and his touring team should try to upset him by rehashing the infamous sandpaper ball tampering controversy of 2018.
Smith insisted the comments “didn’t really bother me”, but apparently demonstrated the opposite by raking over Panesar’s notoriously miserable appearance on the TV quiz Mastermind in 2019. Continue reading...

Labour concocts more ugly measures to punish asylum seekers and the right immediately demands worse… howling to leave the ECHR.

All eyes have been on Zak Crawley and Ollie Pope leading up to the Ashes series and they’ve both performed well in the warm up game.
However, keep your eye on Harry Brook because his usual reliable self in the middle order seems to have gone awol. Let’s hope it’s just a blip 😳

It's called having principles, not just being reactive, angry, and paranoid about losing votes. Say what you believe in. If it's nothing, shut the feck up. Set out your stall and hope others agree with your views. Stand up and be counted.

Are England trying to lull the Aussies into a false sense of security or have they completely forgotten it’s an ODI and not a T20?

I can honestly say that if India win this then they’ll sure deserve it. You don’t often see Aussie bowlers getting tonked all over.

Sarah Pochin is a racist.
Reform is a racist party.
Her ‘apology’ makes no difference to that.
Trying to claim your words really meant something else is not an apology.
It’s a lie about who you are and what you think.
So, she’s a racist.
And, for all our sakes, that MUST be a shameful thing to be.

If you are picking Capsey for her bowling, then it's not as good as Arlott or Glenn, and frankly I don't think bringing either in would weaken the batting significantly. Lamb at 6/7 is unsustainable too, either needs to open or be out of. Great work by Knight that despite all this Eng can still win.
