Looks on for your blokes, this is an achievable score - could be a really exciting finish here.

Just seen on the SKY youtube channel people are speculating that Anderson might follow?

@Ritchie I've seen you don't go a lot on 'Bazball' but, do you reckon your boys will look to modify their game. "Loose bus changes" innings yesterday was kind of bizarre I thought.

I'd have bet money on Anderson bailing out at this stage, but he's made it clear he wants more of it. Bombshell out of nowhere regarding Broad, but he's got a young family and going out on a high makes a lot of sense.

No not really, but I need to use a two tone ball to watch the seam, it might be the case that I'm getting the length and speed okay so far because it's nowhere near a top-spinner! I played a good game today where we won against the team at the top of our league. One of our players is a 16 year...

Mate, I'm not that obsessed with the game enough to engage and analyse the game to the extent you lot do! Definitely not into mud slinging either. I'm guessing you'll be glad to see the back of Broad, but losses of such players are not good for test matches and the Ashes. Close games are what...

Had a go, but was using a normal ball and my eyesight is not top notch, so couldn't see what the seam was doing. I'll have another go with a red and white ball when I get a moment. Not optimistic at the moment.

Looks like we're in a good position at the moment, more so that Starc's just been dismissed. I like the way Stokes is changing the bowling so frequently and it seems to be working.

There's so much crap on the internet about flippers and now bots and chat GTP is sticking their oar in. I was searching for examples of who is currently bowling them and the only person I came up with is India's women - Punam Yadav. This got me thinking about the variations as I've bowled a few...

I tend to stay awake till the end of the first session or as you've said it all goes pear shaped. A mate of mine has his ear phones in whilst in bed which is what I do and he has a weird knack of waking up as soon as something happens.

Do you lot sit up all night watching or listening to the Ashes like some of us do? My wife thinks I'm nuts when I do it.

Just had a look on the Playcricket website here in the UK where all your data gets collated. Well happy with that, I don't think I've ever been so high! Nice too that I've been given so many overs as well. The bloke below me is the one I'd like to beat - Tony, he's my mate and we've bowled...

Thankfully I don't see that many of them and I just try and bowl full and at the leg stump and try and follow them if they step back to try and hit through their off-side. But I must admit they're quite difficult to bowl at I feel.

Exclusively Flippers, only tossed up one leggies to the Aussie bloke towards the end and it was too full and he it on the full leg-side thankfully he didn't get all of it and it went for 1 I think. Yeah had to happen at some point! The captain said he thought I was bowling a little faster than...

Played 2 40 over games back to back this weekend. The league game on Saturday was beleaguered by rain pretty much 5/6ths of the game, we had a really weak side with 10 players against a strong side. We had hardly any batting again and our key batter was playing with an injured foot and after...

Be nice, I've not had a fourfer for 10 years.

You watching the cricket?

I've got a ton of cricket coming up in the next few weeks. This weekend I'm playing Saturday and Sunday (40 overs) and then in the coming weeks there's a whole series of 'Cricket weeks' run by ours and other clubs. I'm down to play every day during our week - 40 over games. Be interesting to see...

Mate if people took catches in the games I played I'd be one of the top five bowlers at my club or better!

Caution with the Googly as always. A part of the allure for me was it eventually got faster the more I bowled and seemingly turned just as much. Keep in mind the theory that the release is far more natural than a Leg-Break, it's just that as you've learned the leg break first despite it being...
