England v West Indies 3rd Test - Edgbaston


I didn't realise we were playing Zimbabwe in a one off test next May. That interview was the first I was aware of it.

Including this one we've got 37 tests currently scheduled between now and the end of 2027 Ashes.

Joe Root needs 3982 runs to overtake Sachin as the leading run scorer in test cricket. He's only needs 1439 to get second and 533 to overtake Cook.

Root would need to average 107 runs a test if he plays all 37 of them to overtake Sachin. Anyone got faith he can get to first?

Was announced last August

 
Never understand not having a 3rd man to wood if he is bowling full
Gloved down the leg and out

He won’t catch Sachin but he’ll definitely finish second on the list by the time he finishes.
 
Dreadful these, complete waste of time this
Nah.

If fans have this attitude.Then we're gonna be left playing nobody but India and Australia in a few years.

Us and their boards are actively trying to destroy cricket.

What are the Windies supposed to dom they've got no money.

There athletes are being drawn to USA sports or athletics. Then if they do play cricket chase the T20 money.

Needs to be some motivation for other countries to keep playing Test cricket and the big 3/ICC need to sort it the fuck out.
We could give credit to our bowlers getting 5 wickets this early in the game on a good wicket
That too we've kept plugging away
 
Sri Lanka will be just the same later on in the summer too. No idea why Pakistan aren’t touring this summer when it’s been 4 years since they’ve been over. Yet we are going to Pakistan again this winter after being there just two years ago.
We're playing Pakistan at home in 2026 and probably some agreement we struck with Pakistan to come over in 2020 and 2021 that we'd do two tours over there.
