Have never known an England team without Stokes. Don’t want to know one.

This is the energy. Been this way since 2024. Never forgive never forget.

1. Paul Farbrace, a coach I have no respect for has walked into Lancs ccc and dismissed Jimmy Anderson. He wants to build a new team. Jimmy, worlds’s greatest fast,swing,seam bowler has the greatest bowling knowledge ever and Farbrace doesn’t need him.

Two years since Jack Leach's last Test, and England aren't close to replacing him. No spinner in the country out-bowls other spinners more than Leach; by the same measure, none are worse than Shoaib Bashir. Was Leach ditched too soon? Read more here: benjonescricket.substack.com…

Someone should ask Marcus North: do you think Bashir, Crane, Ahmed are better at bowling spin than Jack Leach?

I think professional fouls should be a red card. Make football fun again.

Jack Leach had the third best economy rate in Division One this season. His economy rate was just 2.29 across 317.5 overs, taking 36 wickets at an average of 20.22! Class 💫 #YouAreSomerset @WPAinsurance

The funny thing about a high scoring international cricket match is the commentators never turn off the enthusiasm for a 6 or a 4. Boundaries remain U N B E L I E V A B L E even when there’s been too many to count.

Pat Cummins has opened the door for Mitchell Marsh to make a comeback to Test cricket as soon as the series in South Africa, believing the white-ball bruiser still has it in him to change red-ball games, like he did at Headingley in the 2023 Ashes theage.com.au/sport/cricket/…

In 2014 Nigel Farage went on LBC to complain about hearing foreign languages on trains. James O'Brien: But your wife and kids speak German. That was the first and last time they ever spoke.

Stokes had a much, much more impactful test career than Jadeja. That’s all there is to say.
