Jimmy Anderson waiting for his 2000th test wicket...

And Ollie Pope has just overtaken Joe Root as England's all time Test run scorer.

And that's just some bearded Ginger with a God complex

Was thinking more of the dregs of society that populate the western terrace tbh

Aye I know what you meant. Just wanted to get a Bairstow jibe in

But aye. Western Terrace, and the ghouls that haunted the boardroom and dressing room with their racism.

Another 100 for Sibley today, get him in.

Strike rate of 37 the dirty slogger.

 

[Rip Van Fish]

Only unenforced change will be Anderson back. Interesting to see who is dropped. Overton or Broad.

Be Broad (rested)
Going Saturday

Probably end up on the same mode of transport again. 9.10 Cross Country arrival into Birmingham for me

He was only 5/1 to do this

After this series, I'd put him at evens

Fair enough I requested the odds over a year ago but thought it would be at lot bigger odds

Just noticed it's a 10.30am start.

Anderson and Foakes play if fit, Overton and Billings if not.

Crawley gets another game because he's playing in a winning team, something which we haven't been able to give to our new call ups for a while.

Leave the rest alone, for Gods sake stop making the same mistakes and leave the good bits alone. For once.

I think so and also because theres no obvious choice waiting in the wings.
