Bairstow should have borrowed a bat off one of the Aussies who were out there and "persuaded" that fine gentleman not to partake in such foolish actions again.

Imagine if he sues Bairstow? This world we live in now is one big rollercoaster.

It used to be lasses with the chesticles but now it's boring Hugh Fearnley Whitingwhatsit lookalikes with orange fake coke.
 
A problem with England's approach in the last two years has been that they have become increasingly reliant on a group of players who know that their positions are secured no matter what. That is acceptable when things are going well but throws up issues when things are not going quite as well, as is the case so far. The other problem is that this policy means that there is arguably less motivation for players in the County scene to push themselves, since they already know that while the door to the Test squad might not be locked, it's certainly closed. Neither situation should be the case in an Ashes summer.
 
All these supposed cuts at sky seems the money gone to having 20 co-commentators mostly one England ones and it’s been appalling listen watch!
 
Kind of doing how I expected so far, thought we overachieved in the first test. Just not enough variety in the bowling attack at all, not helped by who we’ve got out.
 
England will lose by an innings and runs at Lords after winning the toss and choosing to bowl first ? Mark my words and please feel free to come back and give me shit if am wrong,

What I watched today was properly the worst bowling attack by an England team at Lords on the first morning of an Ashes test, Win the toss and bowl was on everybody's lips, the wicket had a bit of green grass rolled into the wicket and conditions were Perfect for swing and seam bowlers,

But we looked Old and slow unfit and lack of test-match cricket in the legs and body, how can we come back from this I don't know, but when the Aussies come out to bowl they will have over 400 on the board and will bowl as we all know they bowl at lords (top off-stump) then spin cleaning up the tail of the England batting,
