Comes back to this overwhelming desire of the management to have attacking batsmen who can score quickly. Need to remind these players they can get in first before upping their scoring rates. The better Test teams are just keeping it tight and letting some of these England players get themselves...

Part of the problem is that he hadn't scored a pile of county runs before he got into the side. 2 years of county cricket averaging under 35. But one of those players that they'd identified as a Test player early on and so that was it. How they identify players that way before they've done much...

Time to rethink Crawley.That one big innings massively padding his stats and the number of caught behinds or in the slips means teams have worked him out.

Or if he could have kept away from women and booze. Was never fully focused but was an excellent boxer. Colourful character and life needs those

Woakes still under-rated with bat and ball. Was a big miss for Lords test considering his record there.

Not the biggest T20 fan but that was an enjoyable game. Worcs looked dead and buried early on

They don't do irony :) It's just insane. Really in what sort of world is a left back worth 500k a week? Very good player but he's a left back.

If ESL is resurrected at the money that was talked about then 25m fines and 30 or deductions aren't much of a deterrent.

They don't even see the irony. Claim football is broken yet fail to see their role in breaking it. Huge transfer spending, ridiculous wages without the guaranteed income to cover it - 2 Spanish clubs still have wage bills well over 200 million with the imposed COVID reductions.

Barca, Real & JUventus hanging on in there - having found a friendly court in Madrid :) Surprised we've heard nothing more substantial on these huge sums the PL 6 were potentially liable for when they quit ESL

T20 starts today. Still can't bring myself to support a team called the "Birmingham" Bears.

It's hard when they personalize it by saying how Archer might have reacted. Could have been offended, could have thought some of the "sexist" stuff was amusing, could have thought it was a storm in a teacup. What offends one person may not offend another. Not fair to shift it onto Archer and...

Need to consider some sort of amnesty for the poor judgement jokes etc. or else this will keep on going. Obviously not for more serious statements, points of view etc. Cricketers have agents. Why aren't they making sure they clean up their social media histories? Talk of Overton replacing...

Good. Thought I was the only one who doesn't get those. If they ever start mining footballers and rugby players Twitter accounts etc retrospectively probably wouldn't be able to field an international team

trolling the social media accounts of minors isn't a good look

Probably too late as it was Wisden who had been checking players twitter history and flagged this 2nd player

Apparently under 16 when these tweets were written.

Can't agree with Carberry. As you say no point in rehabilitation courses etc. If Robinson had been written these things recently then there'd be a case for banning him for a longer a period of time. It's hard to see the need to punish Robinson for historical offences as can be argued he has...

This where it gets ridiculous. He'd have no chance against Canelo and could get seriously hurt. A 30 year old world champion at super-middle weight isn't a 44 year "retired" welterweight/light middleweight Mayweather played with his brother last night and could easily have put him away - just...

Can't wait. Think it could be a spectacular season. Lot of teams upgraded, crowds back. Think it could be really competitive and a couple of unfancied teams could really make a push.
