Cricket

Leach is obviously keen to have a bowl.

Bloody love Mark Wood

I don't think I've ever seen a (n England) cricketer enjoy the game more than Mark Wood.
And, that is despite his numerous career sapping injuries.

Go on Jimmy lad

I can imagine Jimmy Anderson watching the wickets fall, and the batsmen come up 70-100 runs short, yet again, preparing himself for 5 or 6 sessions fielding, thinking, 'Guys, can't just one of you bat responsibly, now and again? We're meant to be professionals. Give me the ball, Ben, and watch how it's done.'

Absolute peach from Robinson

The Nut!

ROOTY'S GOLDEN ARM!

Getting up at 4:27, just about worth it

Impressive dedication.

Joe Root, starting his 2nd innings at 25-2, must be thinking Bazball shares some characteristics with previous England management regimes.

Lockdown life has me hardwired for 4/5am starts

Brook has all the makings of being an absolute star

I just had to double check that this was only day 2. Probably be done tomorrow.

Jimmy the GOAT

Fuck me now a peach from Robinson

Both totally unplayable.

Oh God now Wood

Off stump is getting an absolute battering

Come on!

SERIES...WINS...IN...ASIA

Amazing. Great chase from Pakistan. Nervy finish.
Quite weird listening to the last few overs while walking the dog in the snow.

Woo-hoo, England up to 5th in the prestigious ICC World Test Championship:

1 Attachment

Foakes back in for the third test and a debut for 18-year-old Rehan Ahmed. England handing a start to a teenager is unheard of in my lifetime. I am really liking the approach of this new management team. First BazBall, now 'if they're good enough, they're old enough'. Brilliant.

England handing a start to a teenager is unheard of in my lifetime.

Haseeb Hameed would like a word.

I wonder if they would have picked this team if the match wasn't a dead rubber.

Still good call

Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes (c), Ben Foakes, Rehan Ahmed, Ollie Robinson, Jack Leach, Mark Wood.
