The joy and tears of Denis Law

Hard to believe either side will want to eat anything. Cricket should move with the times in these situations and replace lunch with a five minute vape break.

Border says he was more jittery than normal when approaching 10,000 runs. Will be interesting to see if this is noticeable in Smith’s body language.

On the TMS end of year awards podcast, for Best Spell of 2024 I nominated Bumrah for his spell that began in February and will likely end today. I stand by that.

Slight irony that to get back into the side Shami will have to displace Akash, who’s bowling with zip, bounce and a hint of a bald spot.

I think the closest most of us could ever get to experiencing the sensation Kane Williamson feels when hitting a cricket ball would be the sensation of touching Kane Williamson’s beard.

What outfielder has caught the same batter the most times in Tests? Current research: Ex-opener Smith has Root 7 times, same for opener Smith-Sehwag. Dravid-Langer and Root-Southee/Head - 6. Any advance on 7? Strong start from Atkinson.

British male grooming industry lobbyist strategy meeting (global sales division): “Let me get this straight. You’re saying there’s an all-rounder who looks so handsome and immaculate we should pay England to pick him every overseas tour even though he never takes any wickets?”

Didn’t think I could revile the laddish, omnipresent obscenity of UK betting adverts any more than I did already but when they interrupt the omnipotent serenity of Ravindra’s batting they somehow become even more nauseating.
