You can't help but warm to Wood. He comes across as a really down to earth fella.


Just a pity about that accent! "I hurpe sur"!

Thought he was from the North East.

Bucket hats seem to be in this year. Will Pep be sporting one at the community shield?

I had a Lancashire one on yesterday on the Western Terrace. Managed to survive!

Both sides have some interesting decisions to make for the next test.

Australia could drop Warner for Renshaw or Harris or move Head up to open to accommodate both Green and Marsh. I’d imagine Hazelwood or Neser would come in for Boland too.

I think Ali is past it but suspect he’ll retain his place after removing Labuschagne and Smith in their second innings. I’d like to see Foakes in the side but can’t see it happening now. Question marks still remain over who should bat at number 3 in Pope’s absence and whether Jimmy should play at his home ground.

Well done England
Cummins shut your gob

I cant see them dropping Warner , but definitely bring in Hazlewood
Only change I see us making as much as I also would want Foakes inclusion is Jimmy or Tongue for Robinson , personally I'd go for Toungue as much as I love Jimmy there is no room for sentiment and even Mo has been more effective this series

The local pissheads trying to make themselves heard over the interviews. You think the stewards would have moved them away from that area.

Hey, Yorkshiremen will be Yorkshiremen…

If England are prepared to resist such change on the back of two defeats, it’s difficult to imagine them including Foakes after a victory. Another round of County matches begin tomorrow and another a week on Wednesday when the next Test commences, and I suspect he’ll play for Surrey. If England fail to win at Old Trafford, he might be recalled into the fold at the Oval, as England then will be beginning their ’rebuild’.

i wonder what pep would make of managing the england cricket team, for a start i think he would be shocked at how bad our bowlers are with a bat in their hand and would drill into the fuckers to make an effort like he does with fooballers getting them to play in different positions.
watching some of em bat you'd think they never pick a bat up! he said he'd like to play a team of midfielders, i reckon he'd play a team of all rounders
