He is someone who desperately needs to be in a genuine confrontation with no umpires to save him. No problem with sore losers, but bad winners are pond life

These toads can go jack one off to agnew on tms reruns creaming himself to a four day allister cook double hundred when the series is lost. Baz and stokes are trying to save test cricket
I liked seeing the reaction from the coaches when Stokes was out first innings. He’s been told to bat like that and take risks and if he’s out then not to dwell on it.
I love stokes he has always cared about winning more than his average. The interview from Lees saying Stokes playing that way gives them more freedom than any words could, he is leading from the front and backing his men
At some point, BazBall will face proper Test cricket challengers where we can’t just slog it and enjoy the vibes
But my god, after the winter they had, it’s fun to see the turnaround. There are still lingering problems, and this test is not yet won, but it’s nice to have a bit of hope and confidence about an England test team

Broad set a record for a test over (35), and that and the criticism aint nothing. This roulette cricket will eventually see England post just 100 runs in two innings.

Like with Morgan in white ball, England aren't just winning games they are changing the game
Quality from Root again. Giving him the freedom to concentrate on his batting will mean he will go down as England's greatest batsman.
Compelling viewing, isn't it?
Yeah, and it's not like games are over inside 3 days either. These are 5th day run chases and the game is going 13 or 14 out of the 15 sessions.
England are going to have to be adaptable in away conditions where you won't be able to score at 5 an over. But other teams are going to have to change their approach too. Getting to 200-220 when the new ball comes is not going to cut it anymore.

The rain, it raineth every day
Another stroll in the park, incredible turnaround from the debacle in the West Indies last winter. Great to see.
I'm only listening to TMS, but it sounds like this is just too easy for Joe
Have to say (through gritted teeth), great effort to run down that total in the 4th innings.
Come on Bairstow, a winning 6 and a proper Kohli wind up please...
