Incredible final day and such a tight finish. The dropped catches and missed stumping did England. then there’s the first innings declaration, it feels more like England lost than Australia won

Red them all last year, really enjoyed them. Can’t wait for the next one later this year

Not surprising he’s out; assume Lawrence will be coming in which…. Well yeah we’ll see

KP is a dick but he wasn’t the only one to suggest this. Athers said on comms that Ponting had suggested the same thing to him. Whether it was tongue in check by Ponting who knows

England seems like a mates club now. Foakes’ face doesn’t fit, or he’s pissed them off somehow…. Presumably by not playing golf.

Ha, I’m surprise how well Crawley has done. Although he’s usually woeful so it doesn’t take much.

That’s a good shout though, Crawley for Bairstow.

There’s third wave, I’ve never used them so can’t say whether it’s any good

School level cricket from Bairstow there

Foakes should be playing anyway he’s a much better keeper. Bairstow probably cost England the first test with his poor stump work.

I think Ali’s going to play at Headingley but he will be in for a bowler.

Huh, maybe I should give the others a go then. I read the first two last year and thought they were awful

Incredible catch

Incredible batting from the Dutch to win and go through to the World Cup

Not surprised Jimmy has been rested

Stokes not being able to bowl makes it tricky; so probably be a straight swap Bairstow for Foakes

Been buying from Rave for a couple of years, I get their Discovery subscription. It’s always excellent

Chaos Monkeys was pretty good, he came across as an asshole but still enjoyed it

The Shards by Bret Easton Ellis, it drew me for the first 70 or so pages, then it’s pretty slow for the next 250

When was the last time England went into a home test without a frontline spinner?

Reminds me of Freddy Flintoff and Brett Lee

There’s a lemmy football bot being developed, I don’t know if that helps with this at all
