Dead Man’s Shoes (2004) is a revenge film with the air stripped out of it. Shane Meadows shoots it like a wound that never closes, and Paddy Considine gives one of the most devastating performances in British cinema.

Stuart Broad’s last act with the bat in Test cricket was a 6, his last act with the ball was a wicket to square an Ashes series.

What price Will Jacks’ last act with the bat is that ludicrous dismissal and with the ball being hauled into the stands by Travis Head to seal defeat?

[Tom Langridge @T0mLang]

After a nonsense of an Ashes, something comforting about an old school thrashing on a flat one. Make ~400 and feel like it’s enough. 2 days of toil, Aussies make 600. We’ll lose early wickets in reply, rally briefly & provide some false hope, then collapse in a heap at the end.

@GeorgeDobell1 The secret of the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment of existence is to bat dangerously

[Tom Langridge @T0mLang]

When he was moved to 3 in the home Ashes he looked lost, couldn’t lay a bat on the moving ball.

Don’t weaken a strength. Can be a match-winner in the middle order if he just engages his brain.

[Pat Murphy @patmurphybbc]

Agreed. He’s got the talent. Needs to calm down.Too much expected of Stokes to put him at 3.

They really must be an insufferable bunch if they’ve managed to lose the support of… Australians

[Henry Blofeld @blowersh]

A little bird from Sydney has been in touch and tells me Australians are turning against this England side. Their couldn’t-care-less attitude, on the field and off it, is not winning them friends. Or Test Matches either.

[Tom Langridge @T0mLang]

@Jowl30 Dream scenario. All the fun and none of the formality. Take it as a compliment

[Tom Langridge @T0mLang]

All those years watching him grind us into the dirt… Never seen him so ill at ease for that length of time. High quality pace bowling meets aging eyes? Keep Smith quiet and the chances of taking the urn home rocket upward #Ashes2025

[Tom Langridge @T0mLang]

Test cricket eh. No other format comes close.

[Tom Langridge @T0mLang]

Even if just for a connecting flight.

Is this a real match summary or has Black Mirror done a cricket episode?

The danger is that populist and far right figures are capitalising on the stasis with simple answers to what are structural problems and surging in popularity all over the developed world.

[Tom Langridge @T0mLang]

Voters want low taxes, low immigration and decent public services. Against a backdrop of aging populations and falling birth rates, that’s structurally impossible in the medium term. Sensible politicians know as much but fear that articulating it makes them unelectable.

[John Burn-Murdoch @jburnmurdoch]

The thing about "the UK’s tax burden is now at a record high", is that this is also true for almost all countries 📈

[Tom Langridge @T0mLang]

No harm in the frustration when things go wrong with a game in the balance. Too often you’d be forgiven for thinking it doesn’t matter if they win or lose, as long as the ‘vibes’ are good. Dropped catches probably cost the game, they’ll be a better side for recognising that.

@lewis_goodall Think both Sunak and Starmer have been more at ease and both carried themselves better since the result. Neither personality especially well-suited to ‘campaign mode’.
