Started to become a cricket fan over this World Cup and today probably cemented it. Mrs is confused as fuck as I've always thought it boring and suddenly I'm bouncing round the house.

Pretty much as expected, England have improved over the last 4 years, but lack the bottle required to win when the going gets tough.
I suspect that after winning 4 home Ashes series, we're going to have to accept, the coming one is gone already.
The only hope lies in the Convict quicks breaking down over the next few weeks.
Can I pass judgement now?
Happy to be proved wrong on the WC... this throws up a number of questions for the Ashes. Does Roy play, does Archer play? Can Moeen get his mojo back, is Mark Wood fit enough to do Test matches? |

Is Mark Wood fit enough to do Test matches? Doubtful

Possibly the last ever as well when you look at the stature of passionate cricket nations in football. |

I'm still not convinced that we've enough in the batting to win The Ashes.... and with Broiady coming in at 9 it could be another out in a session job.
Having said that, the Convicts are playing an intra warm up game, apparently they reckoned no point playing Derby seconds or something.... one lot got 105, t'other 120.

Is this some kind of reverse psychology/fate in play?
Reg doubts, we win.

I'd still expect us to win this one.... but the batting collapses have become too regular, for there to be any great hopes for the Ashes |

Crazy morning at Lords. Can only hope England's bowlers pull out some magic to keep us in the match. I'd still expect us to win this one.... but the batting collapses have become too regular, for there to be any great hopes for the Ashes
Certainly a worry to see such a feeble collapse, and not the first time as you say. |

I have tickets for days 1 and 4 at Edgbaston. The latter ones may be surplus to requirements at this rate!! |

Jack Leach had an interesting day with the bat..... 2 innings both not out, can't imagine that's happened too often.
