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!

Agreed Dave a flurry of posts means dire straights for England. Root and burns steady accumulation doesn’t get those fetch fingers twitching quite so much.

Highlights on Beeb. Sibley incredibley managed to play all round a straight one.
Crawley is just a blonde Vince.
Burns still in, God knows how, he looks soooo wrong

I’ve been banging on about Burns being useless for at least nine months

Ugly as sin but it’s effective-ish. We aren’t exactly flooded with better opening options.

Burns has the worst technique, but it doesn't matter, he's still there.

yes but he is likely to have a trot of really bad scores, he needs a haircut too.

'he needs a haircut too.'

That's some old school curmudgeoning OS. I'm sure a suited and bowler hatted spectator said something similar about an exuberantly coiffed participant in the 1877 Test 😉.

On TMS earlier, Aggers said to Vaughan, as De Grandhomme walked out to bat, 'Do you think Colin wakes up in the morning and thinks, yes I look cool'.

Vaughan said yes, a mullet is trendy again now, and Colin is a great name for someone with a Mullet.

Cool cricketers? I just think of Imran Khan and feel ill.

Kumar Sangakkara is probably the coolest talking head in the game though.

So watched the highlights from today after missing yesterday.

1. Boundaries are about 4miles in. Why?

2. No wonder Rory Burns keeps getting out - he's batting with his head outside leg stump.

It's a wonder he knows where his off stump is with that trigger movement
