    *Official* First Test (Edgbaston, Birmingham) 16–20 June

    It is enthralling test cricket. Has been all match. Gut feeling is that England are about 40 runs short but who knows? Also tomorrow's forecast has improved, if Aus bat the time they win.

    *Official* First Test (Edgbaston, Birmingham) 16–20 June

    Is this the first side without a bloke called Mitch that the Aussies have put out in about two decades?

    English Domestic Season 2023

    After all that Surrey have just hit 40 runs off the last three overs! Well batted Sibley and Foakes, a gentle reminder to England...

    *Official* First Test (Edgbaston, Birmingham) 16–20 June

    Pretty much as expected.

    Jack Leach out of the Ashes

    The talk of Ahmed having a poor start in the CC this year says more about the matches being crammed into a wet April rather than his actual ability. As soon as we get conditions that may help the only first class cricket being played is the Ireland test. That said, I think this year's Ashes is...

    Gutted for Leach. I have no clue as to what England may do. They will have to call a spinner up but who? Can't see Moeen fancying it or even being match ready so it's between Livingstone or Ahmed for me. As to who plays? I think it'll be Woakes with a bit of Root for the twirls.

    Seconded for Foakes. If the Skipper's knee is a concern and rules him out (thinking more for the 2nd test) then YJB bats at 6 and hands the gloves over.

    *Official* England v Ireland Test

    England bowl first. Who shares the new nut?

    *Official* Women's Cricket discussion thread

    I've been having a go at choosing the test side thing on the BBC site. It's really not easy! There are obvious matchwinners that are auto pics but there is a big pool of talented youngsters also...

    I hate the term also but Bazball has been the encouragement of players to play their natural game without fear, which it could be argued Foakes has done with his batting. It's still raving mad he's not even in the squad.

    Fair to say Pope will be batting in the first few overs anyway

    Rumours confirmed - Foakes dropped by Stokes with the return of Woakes. Wrong decision in my view - I get that Bairstow should be in the side in the lower middle order, however, there is a certain opener who shouldn't be there. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/65608618

    Rehan Ahmed in the runs, making a breezy 90. April not really the time to get a good indication of his leg spin form but hope he goes on to get a good bowl at some stage.

    https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/ipl-2023-jofra-archer-left-ipl-to-visit-elbow-specialist-in-belgium-1371422 The more I read about Jofra's elbow my optimism for him playing Test cricket again diminishes by another 10%

    It's the hope that gets you. He can do it..... but not consistently

    And the poor bugger is run out backing up. He's given himself something to bowl at though! Well played.

    https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/haseeb-hameed-on-ramadan-faith-puts-our-careers-into-perspective-1369904 Nice interview with Haseeb Hameed - is he close to International cricket once again? I would like to think so.
