Ali won’t last long…….

Once you get past Stokes you are basically all out.

What odds the Aussies will be batting again before lunch?

Looking forward even more to Lancs tonight now

Yesterday every time the Aussies put bat on ball they got a four, the narrative on Sky was it’s that type of pitch, every time we do we either nick off or hit the fielder, massive difference in class in all departments. If we somehow got a result it will be due to the individual brilliance of a couple of individuals, which has been the story of the series….nothing left to do other than (as bumble would say) give it some Walllllllopp

We have saved test cricket

Can’t wait to see us hammer West Indies and Sri Lanka next year in half empty grounds. Thank god for bazball

I think it's less clunky to use gender neutral language than using batswoman and woman of the match.

It's also something that's happened more and more over the last century or so. There's loads of professions that used to be split into male and female nouns that now just use one.

We’ll have to agree to disagree.

Batter is terribly clunky English, in my opinion of course and I’ll never call someone a batter, unless I’m watching baseball or baking a cake.

I advise you all to watch the Tour de France instead of the cricket, far more entertaining.
