One thing I have noticed on TMS is that Vaughan has been far less cocky since he was on the naughty step.
Listening to him earlier, he was a joy. Hope that continues as he used to be well smug. Which was a shame as he obviously knows a bit about cricket.

Come on!
Could it be? New ball in 8/9 overs?
I would also add that WinViz seems to me as being complete nonsense. For example, surely the draw is worth more than 5% at this stage? It's surely not far off Australia just shitting themselves and playing for a draw.
And I'm not so confident of a win either!
Edit: 1% chance of the draw now, apparently. I would take that bet!

Crawley kicking it over the boundary probably doesn't help the situation.

Well, there we go.
A great sport nevertheless.

It is weird that as a release from all the mundane problems that life throws at us, as a species we have found various distractions that are way more stressful than a crap day could ever put you through.

So, this imbecile Stokes who wasn't remotely fit, makes no apology for the selection of Ali to bowl with a Dukes ball, pronounced seam notwithstanding, for the first time in two years. 47 overs, 3 for 204. Well bowled, Mo. Or for the pisstake declaration which has cost England the match. In front of a load of skivers from Hunderton via that fancy dress shop next to the Orange Tree. And none of the multifarious pundits feels any kind of compunction to say anything remotely critical about the brainless tactics which Stokes and Baz (wtf?) have employed for five days.
(Nice double for Aiden O'Brien today.)

I really shouldn't, but would the above have anything to do with "Licence to print money betting against this moderate Australian outfit; Smith long gone."How much did we win?

I thought it was all great. Agree, it was. A bit grumpy that it didn't end with a home win, but cracking entertainment.

Will be analysed to death (probably has been already) by the proper cricket people and they are probably right, but if they had gone on and got them runs on day1/day2 it may not have been that many, plus who knows how that would have changed the course of the game? By shear fluke we would have probably been opening in that murk and gone into day four on something like 3/2, which would have been a bit arse twitchy. The way they throw their wickets away takes a bit of getting used to in your head, but they used to do that at 2.5 runs an over, so at least they are going at 4.5 runs an over. I think playing a good team like Australia you are going to struggle to win every time using bazball as they will exploit the down side of gung ho far more readily than weaker teams. The biggest concern is we have three main areas to solve, they none. Our openers (whilst they have said - this is bazball so deal with it) are proper fragile, leaving the odd ball wouldn't hurt them, then we need Foakes in the team, but that knackers the balance as Stokes isn't fully fit, then we desperately need a spinner. I fear Bess or that young asian kid are gonna have their careers ruined if they are drafted in. They meanwhile have all the major disciplines covered pretty well, hence they are World Champions I guess.

I can assure you none of my hard-earned money has ever gone on a game of cricket. And it ain't likely to as long as the captain pretends he doesn't mind losing. Entertainment, my ass. The bogs are quieter at fecking Glastonbury.
