HNM having a stormer

And to put it into context we won 1 test match of the previous 17 before Stokes and Brendan came together, since then 4 wins in a row. There will be games when we are rolled for 100 but I’d much rather see England play (even lose) in this manner than some of the turgid, meek performances I’ve had the misfortune to watch over the last few years.

Same

I miss the classic special shaped ones from back in the day. Rupert the Bear, Bertie Bassett, the fire extinguisher, the top hat, Sonic! The Scottish FA Cup or whatever it was

Smeed to replace Roy in the England T20 team eventually I wonder

The difference is Jonny is playing aggressive, calculated shots. Stokes was just slogging anything.

This is the worst Test over I’ve ever seen!

Wouldn’t be surprised to see him included in the squad for Pakistan, we’ll need 2-3 spinners over there and his batting gives him an extra tick in the box

Great ball from Grealish

Big fan of Casa Mexicana. Had the taco sharing platter and various mezcal cocktails at Cargo Cantina recently, one of my favourites!

In my house in bs3 with the window open enjoying very clearly hearing the Manics blast out their classics!

Michael Oliver is very good in my opinion

Swindon players getting roughed up

Long haired lads need to practice their penalties

Think they’ll regret that! Had to score

Cracking game so far

They certainly ensured Alfie Jones didn’t enjoy his return to Bristol!

How dare you. Fine commentator. As demonstrated in the Euros v Denmark I think it was - ‘If England score now it would be……good’

Too many pre game red bulls I reckon

Nope. Broad interim would be my choice

Absolutely, gets Langer in. If so I’d have Broad as captain for 18 months or so, think he’d work well with Langer and allow the future long term captain to be groomed - Crawley or Pope perhaps but obviously dependent on who can tie down a spot in the team.

[kisses teeth]

Fantastic innings. Easy 10k here, about 5k at Antigua. In more important news after a narrow 6-5 defeat in Antigua, City are winning flag wars about 7-1 here against our small neighbours

Cracking 100 by Jonny! Plenty of city here and rovers too to be fair
