Well I suppose at least County cricket can’t be blamed by those who normally do; such is the disengagement with the domestic clubs by England.

Egg, sausage and Chips listening to 5 live sport at it’s very best with Mark Chapman; perfect Saturday.
Nothing new to say about England’s test cricket.

Serious and decisive omission; isn’t there Martin?

Just couldn’t be happier for Joe and his family. Good things do happen to good people #TheAshes

Looking forward to this but sadly it’s almost certain that Kookaburra features prominently

Very sad. Robin is at peace now. My thoughts are with those who loved him and will miss him so much.

No hesitation he is so looking forward to it; goals like that from Kudus will be enough

Pipe down at the back; it’s Sunderland we are going to watch.

My Dad has been a lifelong Spurs supporter but has never once seen them live; so at 87 years old I splashed out for Christmas and a visit to see them in the new year.
Being the good son I am, after that 2nd goal tonight I rang him to see if he wanted socks instead!

I’m very sorry Steve. Love to you all.

The softie in you David. I knew but everyone knows now.

It’s Radio 4 ‘I’m Sorry I haven’t a clue’

I think this is brilliant from an outstanding radio programme which reminds me why I prefer radio over television
If not on FB take a listen to BBC Sounds

Talk of this being a statement from Australia; for me the statement is England’s middle order failing so badly third innings and you shouldn’t win from that; the fact sometimes you can, can make fools of us. But a Ben Stokes team can turn the series back. Of course amazing Head #TheAshes

Well yesterday I bemoaned not seeing more of Head v England’s bowlers. Well I have now! #TheAshes

I was late on parade and first saw 0-3 with Head out in the middle. Shakes head.

Don’t wish to enter the arguments over the term ‘People of a certain age’ but fair to say I’m of that age that a 2.30 start won’t need an alarm. But what sleep will follow knowing what we know now? #TheAshes

Such can be the contradictions of watching cricket I wanted to see more of Head v England; and to be out to a better ball and shot; but Stokes is often the ringmaster and he now he has two #TheAshes

Agree. You won’t want too much of this in a series but first day and all that goes with it; it’s very good.

steve smith, you scored 17 on your specialist subject, "getting hit by jofra archer"

That’s for Monty! #TheAshes

So credit to Brook and Pope for doing enough to allow a good three/four hours of sleep thinking all was well.
Now let’s see what this much nurtured attack can do.

See it’s not as simple as turning the commentary off followed by the lights; next it’s the stopping that ‘one final look at the score’ before going to sleep #TheAshes

It’s that time isn’t it; judge me as you will; 0320 lights out; sigh that hour ago thinking how it looked like only Starc was going to be a problem; oh well!
#TheAshes

And I would like to add that Nia Jones is in my humble opinion a stand out summariser; Welsh bias but I stand by it.

Let me down gently Mike won’t you

Thinking of Sara Cox; many do amazing things for others every day but what Sara has clearly been going through this week (a word I try and avoid but seems so right here) inspirational and grounded in love.

Now Sir Jimmy Anderson has signed another year! But let’s be honest that’s a given for the next 20 odd years

Love the positivity Nicky
