Common sense has disappeared out of the window these days especially with the Camp Guards at OT

Well you wonder with OT's reputation for bad weather it might be better to hold the 1st or 2nd test of a series at OT.
A draw in the 1st or 2nd game shouldn't decide a series like the draw in the 4th did yesterday..

I know it is the Sun, but they said today that no team has EVER won a test at old Trafford after winning the toss and bowling first. Staggering if true, does anybody know if it is?

Australia 61 for 1 (Khawaja 26*, Labuschagne 2*) trail England 283 (Brook 85, Starc 4-82) by 222 runs
Scored at 5 an over all out Australia could now bat for the next two and a half days scoring at a slower rate and probably win series 3-1 alsp Cummins won toss so there is zero chance of England chasing a total to win

England 130 runs in Saturday’s first session.
Bazball may not be to everyone’s taste, but turn the clock back 40 years or so and look what we might have watched; Boycott and Tavare plodding to 40 for 1 at lunch.

“Watched the last 30 minutes of the day’s play personal view it was shambolic cricket like a really bad 20/20 game “ Could pay for it now too. There’s been lots of brainless cricket in the series but it’s entertaining so that’s ok then.

I know Jimmy said he ain't retiring any time soon, and I think he could still do a job for Lancs in the CC for a bit. Stokes and McCullum will have to make the decision for England, I don't see Jimmy retiring internationally if he isn't going to completely.

Jimmy says he has a lot to give ; so he does, as a bowling coach ( please not a head coach). Chapple should have stuck to being a bowling coach.
