So Australia bring in their front-line spinner. England have to admit defeat that the Bashir experiment hasn't worked out (not all the player's fault) and go with a spinner (Jacks) who only bowled 75 overs and managed 5 wickets in County Championship this summer. Going to a minor miracle for...

All sides are to blame for this travesty. It's not a new situation as it happened during his first term as well. It was also happening during Obama's Presidency. Democrats have had chances to remedy this when they held the White House but didn't do so. Under Biden 10000s of unaccompanied...

basically they were praying they could get 3 Tests out of him. Says a lot about their confidence in the next tier of quicks.

It's amateur hour. If Australia were 2 down would they be off on holiday???? On the verge of a full-on expletive-laden rant about this whole situation - which has been simmering since some really amateurish cricket from the Pakistan & India series.

they've got a shout - 2 decent drivers as well. You'd like to thnk Aston Martin might take a jump forward under Newey - but their driver line-up is probably the weakest on the grid.

Mercedes probably the team that have focussed most on reg changes since their announcement as they've been comparatively so far "off the pace" with the current specs. Wonder whether there might be changes coming there - Woolf selling a chunk of his ownership. Has the team got stale under Woolf?

Piastri & Norris both had more faster laps than Max. McClaren "got away with it" as they stopped developing their 2025 car after the summer break and moved the resources to the 2026. Red Bull kept upgrading and even giving Max the extra new power unit to keep him happy - worried he might walk...

Also maybe from a drivers championship POV papaya rules is a high risk strategy? Red Bull's strategy team is way ahead of McClaren's?

An outstanding drivers championship this season and thrilled for Lando to take it in the end. Can't wait for the next season and all the changes coming.

Trescothick was spouting platitudes yesterday as well. All sound like football managers trying to save their jobs just before they get sacked for poor results.

going to be a strategy race. Max will have to back the pack up and hope someone can attack McClarens from behind. Then he risks exposing himself to the undercut. Could it all be about pitstops and yellow flags? Lando just has to survive the first lap even if Oscar sends one. Plus there will be...

Have to get permission from BCCI and Hundred owners to even have an inquiry.

Ha watched a full season (and because Sky still highlight fastest race lap with that purple icon) hadn't realised it had gone

can't be bothered to calculate all the permutations - could even the fastest lap 1 pt be a factor??

Not even sure why he's batting coach apart from his own aggressive batting style fitting in with the Bazball. Certainly had a tendency to throw away his wicket in his Test career by being overly aggressive.

worth pointing out the Lions are getting absolutely tonked by Australia B at the moment as well. (Bashir can't get a wicket in that game either)

not having that. Stokes has thrown away his wicket in poor situations as often as some of the batters. His batting record over last few years is average at best - just the one big innings against India in the summer. What Stokes does have in his locker is a few momentous innings. As for the...

A team all the Aussie pundits were worried about their top order being out of form and generally below-par for an Aussie team.

Pretty much tied to the same playing philosophy. Stokes has always played his cricket the same way and McCullum was brought in to "complement" that style/philosophy (both appointed within a month of each other). They are a package.
