    What *should* Ben Stokes have done when Jadeja refused to accept a draw?

    Obviously sulking was not a good look. Personally I think he should have instructed Jamie Smith to stand at third slip, then bowl huge wides until Jadeja got bored.

    English Domestic Season 2025

    Why are Surrey not picking Ben Foakes? Is he injured?

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    Still at least this India team #batdeep

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    Dawson should've gone for that.

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    IIRC Potts hasn't had a great season in county cricket, though to be fair there are not many other seamers who have.

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    Luckily for you we're not playing at seamer friendly old trafford, wherever that is. We're playing at the one in Manchester which is a roady road that sometimes spins on the last day.

    3rd Test (Lord’s) - 10 July to 14 July

    True up to a point, but there may well have been a collective team decision to be ultra positive / reckless when batting because of the state of the pitch.

    What have we learned from the 3rd test

    It is not possible for both to be the nicest guy in cricket.

    England players and selection discussion thread

    At some point it takes more guts to keep picking Crawley than to drop him.

    What have we learned from the 3rd test

    That Shubman Gill is a flat track bully. That Jurel is a world class keeper standing up but much less good standing back. That Stokes doesn't really trust Woakes to bowl at the crucial moments in the match.

    3rd Test (Lord’s) - 10 July to 14 July

    In club cricket there have been several times when I've yorked someone only for the ball to take a freakish bounce and go over the stumps. Another time the batter had dug a huge divot where he'd marked his guard and the ball landed in it and went sideways. Never seen that happen in pro cricket...

    3rd Test (Lord’s) - 10 July to 14 July

    Quietly pleased with my gambhiring there.

    3rd Test (Lord’s) - 10 July to 14 July

    Reddy has looked far better than any of the other Indian batters apart from Rahul.

    T20 Blast 2025

    Not a bad effort from the Steelbacks today. Hopefully we have overcome our mid-Blast wobble.

    3rd Test (Lord’s) - 10 July to 14 July

    Why do they keep trying to bowl yorkers?

    3rd Test (Lord’s) - 10 July to 14 July

    Maybe a fair punishment for time wasting would be for a team to lose some or all of their reviews?

    English Domestic Season 2025

    When did Samit Patel last play a County Championship match? Has he ever played one with the Kookaburra ball?

    English Domestic Season 2025

    No-one is suggesting you can. But what you can do is try to create the conditions where attacking spinners and genuine pace bowlers actually get picked, instead of defensive finger spinners and medium pace seam/swing bowlers. For me the jury is still out on whether the Kookaburra rounds have...

    English Domestic Season 2025

    I'm more positive about the Kball experiment than some. I think there are signs that it might be doing what it was meant to. Middlesex won by blasting the opposition out with genuine fast bowling from Helm and Sharma. Northants nearly forced an unlikely win by fielding two leg-spinners...

    2nd Test (Edgbaston) - July 2nd

    Is NKR really a Test match number 6?
