Yeah, but what does he know about batting.

Don't forget, anyone travelling there for the World Cup will have to make their social media visible to the US authorities (and anyone else who wants to look/harvest their data).

I don't need a mate with me to shoot at Joe either. I mean I don't have any mates, but that's besides the point.

I went to an American football game last year and there was no atmosphere at all. The sport kinda doesn't allow it as you have a few seconds of sport and then a minute or two of nothing that's usually filled by an MC trying to engage the fans, and the fans can't get anything organic going, such...

About as long in the tooth as Neighbours *not as long in the tooth as Joe though

Lamine Yamal. Undoubtedly a very good player, but you'd think he was in Messi's class the fuss made of him.

People have been calling him the best opener in the world. That puts him in the same bracket as the Sehwags, Haydens, Smiths and Cooks of old. Give me a break.

He averages 29 against Australia and just 37 when you take those two innings out. So no, he hasn't scored decently against everyone. People talk about him as if he's the next Sehwag or something.

Duckett is similar to Pope for me. Both massively cashed in against Ireland and Zimbabwe, which puffed up their averages considerably. Duckett needs to get runs. It's hard to see how Bethall is the next batsman really as he's done absolutely nothing to deserve it. It's a grim state of affairs...

Probably the least unexpected news.

It's pretty rank though. Pope also filled his boots in those matches, and if you take them out he averages 32 after over 60 test matches, which is barely any better than Graeme Hick. They're just not very good. In 7 matches against Australia, Pope averages 18. In 18 matches against India it's...

It probably says a lot about the paucity of batting around the world right now that not only are Root and Brook 1 and 2 in the world rankings, but both Duckett and Smith are in the top 20. You kinda feel like Duckett has been found out. If you take out his huge hundreds against Ireland and...

The strange this is, if you look at how Stokes typically plays, he takes time to get himself in before he starts throwing the bat. It makes me wonder if it's McCullum who wants them to thrash from the off.

You couldn't make it up https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/ce8q01d56v7o
