    Lewis Gregory being back helps us immensely with bat and ball, hopefully looking good.

    *Official* Second Test (Lord's, London) 28 June–2 July

    I am yes. Hey whatever we can say about the "incident" it's stopped people saying everything is too friendly about this Ashes.

    *Official* Blast 2023

    niche stat, but I wonder if that's the highest t20 score whilst only using 5 bowlers, normally a team would try to change it up you'd have thought.

    *Official* Third Test (Headingley, Leeds) 6–10 July

    So no Ahmed, no Foakes, no Dawson. great no change to the batting line-up. I suppose they could pick Lawrence as a leg-spinning all-rounder, god save us.

    Nah, I'm not a Cov fan, just a great retro pic of Psycho I saw on Twitter.

    *Official* Second Test (Lord's, London) 28 June–2 July

    Pope has been worse in 2 Test matches, yeah leg-side strangles are unfortunate, wandering down the pitch aimlessly when well set is not. In the end it's great for Zak that's he's batting better than his Test average so far except when you realise that both those averages are under 30 and not...

    *Official* Second Test (Lord's, London) 28 June–2 July

    Wet green wicket, bloody hell, really :laughing: Hey nice effort on the final day, but actually proved that not hooking everything short was the right tactic, as should have been blatantly obvious in our first dig. Stokes and Mcullum shouldn't be under any threat, massive over-reaction by...

    lucky for you we invented all the good ones though, and rugby.

    The bus has broken down I gather the Aussies are still cheating

    It's Foakes, Woakes Dawson all top order bats, put them in any order TBH, oh and I have been drinking along with codeine, and I'm just about to go out, wish me luck...

    *Official* Second Test (Lord's, London) 28 June–2 July

    My side for the third Test, FWIW (absolutely nothing ftr) Bairstow Duckett Pope Root Brook Foakes Dawson, possibly Ahmed Woakes Robinson Broad Wood Stokes isn't bloody fit and Crawley is useless. But that side has much more balance. Tongue unlucky. may choose him over Robinson or Wood if he's...

    James Rew doesn't play in our limited overs set-up, probably should tbh.

    Hey strike-rate of 133 he clearly dominated.

    *Official* Second Test (Lord's, London) 28 June–2 July

    Ah well that's that with KP pronouncing it from one captain to another, utterly depressing commentary and cricket by England. Yet it should be said through clenched teeth that this fast bowling is why they're number 1 in the World, varied fast and accurate.

    Oh I'm not saying it will happen, just that it clearly could happen if they weren't so in love with Zak.

    Meeting Coldplay, what a thrill, one would hope the other members of the band other than Chris Martin introduce themselves to you, as otherwise you would think they're roadies or summat.

    *Official* Second Test (Lord's, London) 28 June–2 July

    Nonsense, there is really no reason why we can't move anyone up(Stokes, Bairstow, Pope, even Foakes) to open and they'll be as good/better than Zak, Then Foakes could come in, improves the side all-round, better batting, better catching. Probably too early to talk of dropping Pope, he's done...

    TBF Denly probably should still be playing for Kent instead of another England bat, who is probably the 9th best batsman at that County or maybe 10th Evison is probably better.
