Rob Key reckons county cricket doesn’t prepare you for Test Cricket but what could be more Rothesay than getting rolled on the last day by Simon Harmer.
What was done to Anderson (twice) must be close to unprecedented across sport.
Can only think that spreadsheet cricket - the obsession with data - is partly to blame for this farce.

This is the energy. Been this way since 2024. Never forgive never forget.

No spinner in the country out-bowls other spinners more than Leach; by the same measure, none are worse than Shoaib Bashir.
Was Leach ditched too soon?

Since Jack Leach’s debut, England have played 20 Tests in Asia. He personally has a record of played 16, won 11 and lost 5 (win ratio of 68.75%).
England have lost all four of the games that he missed (win ratio of 0%).
Silly

Jack Leach had the third best economy rate in Division One this season.
His economy rate was just 2.29 across 317.5 overs, taking 36 wickets at an average of 20.22!
Class 💫

The funny thing about a high scoring international cricket match is the commentators never turn off the enthusiasm for a 6 or a 4.
Boundaries remain U N B E L I E V A B L E even when there’s been too many to count.
You lost that game btw.
Pat Cummins has opened the door for Mitchell Marsh to make a comeback to Test cricket as soon as the series in South Africa, believing the white-ball bruiser still has it in him to change red-ball games, like he did at Headingley in the 2023 Ashes theage.com.au/sport/cricket/…
I do think just one political party should say Britain is not 🤬BROKEN🤬 it’s actually pretty great but could do with some improvement
