Not too bad for a 36 year old, is he?

I think I like his grumpy fucker attitude as much as his bowling brilliance, what an athlete and hopefully soon to be the highest wicket taking fast bowler.

Yep; he reminds me of me in that regard.

Are we (England) the cricket equivalent of "But can you do it at Stoke on a February night"? - India the number 1 test nation struggling against us.

That's a good one actually. Murky, cloudy weather, reliance on Jimmy 'Delap' Anderson's throw ins to the wicket and completely shit when we're playing Test games in any other country.

We haven't won this one, yet. Could we see another slump 80-0 to 85 all out.

That's because they win a lot of home test series, but as we're seeing they don't travel too well themselves.

Only lost 3 home tests since the end of 2010 (7 drawn, 26 wins), compared to 20 tests lost away in the same time (11 draws, 9 wins).

They've only ever won 6 tests, and 2 series in England, in the history of tests between us.

Andre Russell claimed a hat-trick and smashed 121* off 49 balls on his captaincy debut in the CPL.

Best individual T20 performance ever?

Good to see the sun back and a day's cricket in the offing. England should build a commanding lead today and hope the weather is okay tomorrow.
