Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

More context, he averaged over 50 in first few tests as captain, but 29 in last 10.

Annoyingly, as Boycott has said, Root is the only one that has actually got out to a good ball. Rest is unforced errors.

Bonners didn't do his job properly this morning!

A cheating Aussie called Marnus Laburchange was the first person penalised under the fake fielding rule...

They just can't help themselves....he is only in his 2nd test but it probably makes him captain material.

Great link Wriggo. And top cluelessness by the commentators.

That kind of stuff used to be fairly standard back in the JPL days - Derek Randall and Ray East have certainly both done it when I’ve been watching.
