I see England have (s)elected a new Pope. Shortish, red-headed batter-keeper who we hope can answer our prayers.

Because their views aren't identical to yours. How dare they!

I guess the other 32 developed nations must all be wrong, America must be better because because because... you've been brainwashed. The evidence is obvious: you've just elected a moron as president ... for the second time!! The world laughs at your collective stupidity.

Yes, many Americans already have good health care but no one's talking about them. We're talking about the 80 million or so who don't. You've lost this argument because you have nothing.

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. The other 32 developed nations have systems that are significantly cheaper for taxpayers. Americans are basically held to ransom by pharmaceutical companies and politicians they have in their pockets.

... if you have decent insurance!!! So poor people should just die?

Listen, you haven't got a leg to stand on. The US health care system is totally amoral. Basic medications are 10 to 20 times the cost in the UK. America is failing it's citizens and they are that brainwashed they don't even know it.

In Europe the idea of paying to go to the doctors or visit an hospital in an emergency is bizzare! Of course rich people can pay medical insurance if they want. But I've lived in the states and people die because they can't afford exorbitant health insurance. Is that a civilised country?

Absolutely. 630 is inconceivable.
450 wasn't. Just extremely improbable.

The reality is Stokes is an ageing middle order bat that can sometimes bowl a few overs. If he wasn't captain ...

Maths - England score at 5 runs an over. There's still 2 days left. Gone are the days you try to bat 2 days for a draw. If NZ declared halfway through day 3 then the game would be finished end of day 4 whichever way. Why give England a 1000 to 1 chance when you can give them a 10000 to 1 chance?

Has Crawley played his last test?!? Please discuss.

Is Duckett a test opener? I think England's management will think who are our top 7 bats and how can we crowbar them into a side. Pope is not a number 3. He's not an international wicketkeeper either. Moeen opened in the ashes. Bethell will be an infinitely better player than Crawley. We'll soon see

He'll play all tests this summer. We disagree. The present management have a very non traditional view of batting positions. Crawley is in grave danger.

Who's going to crack first and talk about the elephant in the room that is England's quickly approaching batting conundrum... because they ain't dropping Bethell!

It's because Brian Lara said he is better than him at the same age. You better get used to him cus they're not going to drop him. Crawley needs a score desperately.

No, they'll name the same 11. Management are in love with him.
