Does he have a big support team? I know he deservedly gets a lot of blame but if he’s doing it all on his own, no wonder nothing gets done. Most clubs have about 10-15 people sorting these things.

Not sure how Rishi survived those first few overs. Canterbury has had some very good batting decks this season, can’t imagine this will play too differently with the ball type too.

At least you know that it’s related to the stress. Once things settle down, it’ll be okay, you can work your way back to where you were. The main thing is not to shame yourself or feel guilty. It’s horrible how it hooks us but you know your limits and triggers and that’s a lot better than most.

Fair, maybe stacking the team with all rounders given PH and LH can keep

Is he injured maybe?

Same, i have an unhealthy relationship with it at the moment. Life’s a bit stressful and although I’m generally healthy, I’m drinking more than I wish I could. Will need to cut down at some point.

Wright back in the squad tomorrow. Hope to see the same team but with Scriven in for Kimber. A win and we’re virtually there.

I don’t think Khan is good by any stretch of the imagination but of all the glorious politicians we’ve had in leadership positions over the past couple of decades, Khan is one of the least worst. Everyone knows why Trump dislikes Khan.

American interests in Taiwan are simply not the same as ours. I can’t imagine many Brits would support sending our navy to be blown to bits in the name of protecting taiwan

I like that they’ve clearly done their own thing rather than going down the commercial route they could’ve after their first album

They were on the cusp of something in the mid-90’s. ISR had a moderately centrist PM (left for ISR standards) who was fully invested in Clinton’s peace accords. Resistance/terror movements in PLS had been sidelined. Then an ultranationalist shot him in the head and within a few months our mate Bibi was in charge and peace has never been possible again. The moral of the story learnt on both sides was that violence is ALWAYS the answer.

To be fair what can you do, if he’s got a bomb which is unlikely for lots of reasons then there’s little you can do. If he hasn’t then what’s he realistically gonna do. Having watched the video it’s pretty clear something has gone wrong in this blokes mind rather than anything else, would like to know what had happened before the video.

They deserved to lose Wednesday as well, that’s what you get from trying to walk it into the net.

Nope, pitch is awful. The only bad performance was India in their first innings.

Doesn’t mean others will be though, especially when there’s little else to play for. I adore the man but Stokes ain’t half a whingebag when things dont go his way 🤣

Thought Spain were poor on Wednesday but Germany really strangled them in a way that we’re not doing. Could be a long evening.

Washington Sundar?

This pitch is a dud. Has been all season in the county championship too. 24 wickets over 4 and a half full days is absolutely wild in this era.

True, his match figures so far are 1-100odd, I’m not Bashir’s biggest fan but I don’t think he’d have done any worse in the wickets column

Unlikely, the pitch is dead and England bowlers aren’t good enough to get anything out of it apart from Stokes

30 more overs for India I reckon, shouldn’t be an issue even without Pant

The media LOVE Dawson and he is quality but ultimately he’s only taken 1 wicket, though economical.

Is it all visceral trauma from Bianchi’s death which means they can’t race in drizzle?
