England's tour of New Zealand

Started today...

Proper cricket isn't until 22nd March.

Without the reams of one day bollocks we could've had 3 tests.

Stokes(who was supposed to be playing today!), accused of fighting outside a Bristol nightclub in September, has denied a charge of affray.

I'm no legal expert, but having seen the video, I'd say he's be better off pleading guilty & taking the punishment.

It is possible that, having a sportsman's intellect, Stokes misunderstood the charge.

"So, Mr Stokes, do you deny the charge of affray?"

"Of course I do! I wasnt afraid of him at all. I wanted to kill the bastard!"

Fair Point.

In a just world, you can only beat the shit out of someone, get caught in the act on CCTV, plead not guilty and get away with it if your name is Steven Gerrard.

Can't get into all this T20 stuff, the Tests are too far away.

I'm sure BT showed the Eng V Aus games last week, yet today's was on Sky.

They did. I had assumed it was in New Zealand yesterday so that’s why on Sky.
I didn’t take much notice of the game.

At least some points on the board.

Even the return of the ginger thug can't engender any interest in yet another bloody pointless ODI series.
