If all the England players had gone out and smacked it around a bit like Wood did, we'd have made 240, still be in with half a chance, and it would have been a damn sight quicker.

That'd be proper Bazball. In comparison, we're still playing Boring Boycott Ball.

Peak English cricket was when Atherton and Caddick were at the crease in an already doomed innings at 150 for 7 desperately seeking to avoid the follow on by nicking a run an over. Spell binding stuff.
Kids today don't know they're born.

There's nothing quite like a vintage 90's era middle order English batting collapse.

Bin Stoykes should just open the batting and play like this from ball one. Simples.

Closely followed by Malcolm Tucker telling someone "I wouldn't piss on you if you were allergic to piss"

The problem with England is, they always try to walk it into the wicket.

MrTiddles , you're a bit premature, my birthday is over a week away. Malcolm Tucker: Shenguin, he's a fat guy with a dick the size of a bookie's biro.
That's my favourite quote.

Wood at full length firing it into the crease is what test cricket is all about.

Hi.
I've been on all the shittest rides at Disney as they're the ones that my child wanted to go on.
"Let's go on that mildly thrilling ride?"
"Nah.. don't fancy it."
I've always thought that adults that come here without kids were wrong uns' - I may be rethinking that.
Families in matching Disney t-shirts with their surname on em. Do one.

I see Cameron Norrie's been knocked out by Chris Eubank. So unfair. Cammie's a lover not a fighter.

Been on an Indiana Jones themed rollercoaster. Now heading back to Paris.
We were quite lucky that it was quite hazy and only about 27c during most of the day and hit 30/32 when the haze burned off about 4pm.
Fuck knows why people want to lay about in that heat for a fortnight. Madness.
I'm very thirsty for a beer.
