Agnew can fuck off, a huge advocate of getting rid of the type of club that has produced Broad, given him a chance in first class cricket and with whom he made his international debut. In fact, the type of county that gave Agnew himself a career which led to international cricket and this job.

Anyway, Broad has been great this past year especially, 500 is a fantastic achievement.

"When Stokesy [Ben Stokes] told me I wasn't playing, I felt my body go into shakes. I could barely speak." "I didn't sleep for two days. I was nowhere.

Twat.

When a player falls into a state of playing shite and just running up and slamming the ball into the track and getting bonked they should get dropped. It turned out well for him, he started to pitch the ball up and actually try. He got the message. It worked, now stfu and get on with some of the same.

One think the coaches have to do is stop, is these silly girls playing in headbands, hair slides and smearing a pot of cream on their faces. Pope looked like something fresh out of a beauty salon, under a fucking helmet as well

I think that's a bit misleading, Zambo.
England were always going to rotate the bowlers in the WI series.
I admire Broad for the way he stuck his neck out and said what was on his mind.
People on here have criticised him for it, but surely it just shows his keenness to play for England? Don't understand the vitriol.

I disagree Subsub, you can be disappointed without the dramatics. No one player is bigger than the team, and everyone should expect the axe from time to time if their performances drop.

I agree that no one player is bigger than the team, but his performances in the 2nd and 3rd Tests did show that it was a bit silly to drop him in the first place.
He looked England's best bowler, no question (and even scored a few runs for once).

I love Wasim Akram commentating,he adds value from personal experience which is fascinating for us watching.

When they went off for rain and replayed his masterclass from a couple of years ago, it was the most entertaining bit of the day. Those segments Sky do are so good, you almost take them for granted now. Superb.

Our friend Ebony on the other hand "Have you been to Ibiza?" “Have you ever seen 5am?”

She did some "expert analysis" during one of the tests at OT. At the end of her rambling, she said "What do you think Mikey?".

There was about 30 seconds of silence, followed by "Mikey" saying "and that's the end of the over, it's 123 for 4", and off they went for a commercial break

Much better from England this morning.
Pakistan 176-5

[black_guardian]

Pretty good for Pakistan today. Decent balance to the attack.

Naseem Shah...What a speed demon.

Pope playing well.

[subsub]

Come on, England!
Brilliant stuff from Buttler and Woakes

Thought we were screwed after that incredible Pope dismissal.

Shane Warne absolutely gutted, glorious.

Superb from Buttler and Woakes.

Is he on Sky?
Was listening to TMS.
What did he say?

What did he say?

Yes, he was just desperate for a wicket at 5 down to make it interesting more than anything, he just sounded more desperate than Wasim Akram.
