@ESPNcricinfo The Hundred has done more for increasing participation at grassroots level than anything cricket has ever done before, and it deserves its place in the calendar.

@SkyCricket I absolutely hate pints being thrown in the air, it’s a false, forced type of celebration.

Especially when someone does it like 10 seconds afterwards.

[Jamie Watson @jwatson090]

@BassTunedToRed @planetfutebol It’s also missing Andy Lonergan.

[Jamie Watson @jwatson090]

@RobGutmann It is Rob. Pep can appear ‘calculated’ because he’s got a massive margin for error.

£45m midfielder a dud from last summer. No problem, keep him around and we’ll sign another one next summer.

£60m fullback causing you issues, no worries, we’ll loan him out for you…

[Jamie Watson @jwatson090]

@Carra23 @rioferdy5 @BBCMOTD What, the other leagues have sought government funding to improve their countries reputation by buying footballers.

Not a clever lad Rio, is he.

[Jamie Watson @jwatson090]

@gmac72_LFC @GraemeKelly1 @nevjamo If we were going into a season in the Champions league I’d tend to agree. But we’ll more than likely only face 1 team to worry about in the EL group stage. So if the 2 new signings follow their past injury record and we don’t sell anyone. Meaningful minutes become an issue.

[Jamie Watson @jwatson090]

@rjwilson1963 @RichMalNich @bbctms And that’s exactly fine and expected if you’re batting out of your crease and making no attempt to get back after each delivery. This clearly wasn’t a case of that. Cowardice from Australia.

[Jamie Watson @jwatson090]

@humpty_dumpty87 @The_Mighty_Mojo Bullocks.

It’s just plain wrong.

There’s no real precedent for it. He was batting in his crease. Not trying to steal any ground with his actions.

It’s just wrong. I’d hate to claim something like that as a sportsperson, it’s cheap and meaningless.

[Jamie Watson @jwatson090]

@AZ_MAN_101 @tobymarriott They’re not playing defensive at all, a run rate of 4.5, going past 5 at times is not defensive.

[Jamie Watson @jwatson090]

@04radders @paul_grech @BassTunedToRed But if 2 of your main targets are playing in it then surely it becomes relevant… my word you lot are thick.

[Jamie Watson @jwatson090]

@AZ_MAN_101 @tobymarriott Not having that, they had their frontline spinner unable to bowl and there was next to no assistance. They needed something to keep the batters back and thankfully englands approach means they’re about 80 runs up on where they’d normally be when a team tries the short stuff.

[Jamie Watson @jwatson090]

@PhilBlundell If they adapt to circumstances though they’re probably in a similar position wickets wise but more than likely 80-100 runs worse off.

This Australian attack is very good. They’ll get people out however they’re playing.

[Jamie Watson @jwatson090]

@LFCVik2 The upside of that happening (not that I ever want it to)

Is that absolute bores like you who never stop moaning go away then.

Before you say I ‘lack ambition’ my ambition matters nothing to the day to day running of LFC, my ambition it to put food on my table each day.

[Jamie Watson @jwatson090]

@Daniel_Bentham0 @Curley303 @bbctms Elite sport is underpinned by the paying customer, like it or not.

So I’d argue it’s on an even keel. Boring, winning teams over a sustained period can actually be damaging to a sport.

[Jamie Watson @jwatson090]

@Glazgow @WG_RumblePants I’ve now been blocked for being critical of his outlook.

Sensitive soul.

[Jamie Watson @jwatson090]

@Glazgow @WG_RumblePants It’s amazing how many people can’t compute this.

Conditions and the Lyon injury probably means they turn to the short ball at the same point which they do. So England were well
Ahead of the curve in that sense.

[Jamie Watson @jwatson090]

@bbctms Can we just put Tuffers and Vaughan out to pasture as commentators. Absolutely painful to listen to them. They seem to wait for errors, even when the runs are flowing.

Like it or not elite sport is underpinned by the paying punter and they want to see risk Vs reward

[Jamie Watson @jwatson090]

@MarshallCAJ3107 @WG_RumblePants Haha. There’ll be people who’ll gladly take them off your hands you absolute bore.

Go watch a game with some plodder scoring 80 off 175 balls.

[Jamie Watson @jwatson090]

@Zed_B19 @bbctms Okay, but I counteract it by saying the only reason he’s in a position to score the ton is positive batting and taking his shots on.

He’d also be getting panned if he scored a 50 of 90 balls then got out prodding at one outside off stump.
