It’s taken just over 12 years, but I think it’s fair to say that KP’s ECB sacking is now fully justified. 😅

Jeremy Clarkson.

We should employ someone on the staff as a non playing member to keep the players grounded and get the best out of a talented group. We could call them a coach?

@cricketontnt What are you talking about

@AbhishekkPP @benjonescricket Even if they both happen, we would need 62 from Josh tongue too 😂

WHERE IS ROB KEY?

Probably sunning himself in Australia somewhere, with his trotters up

England called time on James Anderson’s international career in 2024.

He put on a brave face, but it was against his will, a decision made by Ben Stokes, Brendon McCullum and Rob Key, based primarily on whether he would play in this Ashes series.

Pretty much every decision that has been made in the last couple of years was done so with it in mind. All of it was predicated on the idea that things will be different this time. Trust the process.

But here we are. Things are not different. They are very the same. The process has turned out to be toilet water.

England are 2-0 down to an under-strength home team and unless something extraordinary happens they are going to lose heavily in Australia again.

The best English bowler ever, the best bowler any of us will probably ever see play for England, was sacrificed… for this?

@SEN_Cricket No amount of test runs will stop him being remembered as a cheat

[Matty @MattyWaller1995]

@Smithian_here @lpp28 @darren_lehmann Maybe not but he isn’t a weirdo or a cheat either so swings and roundabouts

"If they can't show some humility about the way you play in Australia, about the way you play on faster, bouncier pitches, this is going to be a long, long seven weeks."
