July 11, 20242 yr Well done Stokes - only the 3rd player in history to get 200 test wickets and 6000 test runs. What a record.

Good thing in England is that tests pretty much sell out. Those days are long gone sadly, and unlikely to return unless there's serious changes to the administration of the sport

Aldo Raine said: Those days are long gone sadly, and unlikely to return unless there's serious changes to the administration of the sport Windies have suffered from terrible management at home as well as alternative sports for their athletes. Nevertheless, having watched Clive Myrie's recent series, there is still a stream of talent there to be honed. Be good to see them get their shit together.
July 12, 20242 yr Just doesn't feel fitting that ending unfortunately, deserved to go on his own terms and at Old Trafford really. Still, some career and as always humble to the last.
July 21, 20242 yr All sorted. They were looking set for a good crack at the chase with a score over 60 without loss. Some collapse in the end. Have they uncovered a good young spinner?

August 14, 20242 yr He's now been ruled out of the series Ollie Pope - who has previously captained in only one first-class match - will step up as captain in his absence But I doubt it'll make much difference to the result

Still like you say, shouldn’t make too much difference and as always a day out watching England always fun. Thursdsy 22nd for us, 2nd day, anyone else going?
August 14, 20242 yr His own performances, especially with the bat have been inconsistent since he became captain. Obviously, just getting back to bowling. We ought to be able to manage the series; you'd imagine he'll still be in the dressing room and having influence.

Helping out really but I’ll see plenty of cricket. Weather permitting. If you see a drenched draw ticket seller, take pity and buy a ticket or five😉
August 20, 20242 yr In on Friday, first time at an international game, looking forward to it if the rain stays off
