Don’t worry the force is with us Luke

“India get battered everywhere they go”

I can not wait for the t20s. What the hell is a par score in them?

Could we get a 300, then the 50 overs , 500 plus?

Bradman scores less singles per dot ball than Root

Another brilliant performance mate, another proof if it was needed to back up this new philosophy.

Their knocking off big scores before teams even have chance to use the second new ball!!!

Great stuff whatever the result turns out to be

Ours to lose now surely (which is still perfectly possible)
