The tail is very long with Potts at 8. Think we might come up just short, but fair play to Root and Bairstow this afternoon for stealing the initiative. I think we'd have been skittled for around 150, 6 months ago.

It’s amazing we’re still in this game, let alone going to win it.

Just wondering...

Does anyone else still enjoy the cricket via Radio 4 Longwave in the garden with a nice cup of tea or a cold beer?

For me, those things combined is summertime in a nutshell.

I seem to have read somewhere recently that Longwave is being closed down because of budget cuts. Incorrect?
Edit: the Beeb on Longwave, I mean of course.

For years and years I listened to the old World Service on Shortwave, starting in Africa in ’75. Still a bit nostalgic about the way it would fade in and out as James Alexander Gordon read the results. Sometimes I felt like picking up the radio and smashing it — it would happen just as it came to the City result. It seemed as though the ionosphere was in cahoots with the Beeb to deprive me of my fix.

Virat Kohli is a shithouse…just saying.

It's a toss up between him and Kyrgios who is the biggest twat in world sport, c'mon England and c'mon Garin.
