Enjoyed some comedy night-bazball-ship while eating my breakfast this morning.

Stuart Broad is simply a magnet for ridiculous cricket. What will we do for cricketing ludicrousness when he’s gone?

Wickets may come and wickets may fall but Harry goes on forever. (Till he is bowled by TGNW).

I believe that the Anderson/Broad combo is sitting on 999 wickets together overnight.

One more for the big 1000.
Two more to equal McGrath/Warne – a record I thought would possibly never be beaten.
Three more to top the list, possibly for ever.

It is a stupendous stat – so much so that I’m hoping to stay awake or wake up to witness the moment(s). Might not happen though…me staying awake I mean.

These are difficult times for England supporters, especially with an Ashes summer round the corner. Our usual preparation of poor results, weird selection and a captaincy debate, carefully designed to soften the blow when the Aussies get here, isn’t happening.

Instead, we’ve got Bazball, the most obviously short-term one-match-wonder of a tactic that has ever been tried, working repeatedly against all comers.

My Aussie mate is coming to the UK this summer to watch. He is already disparaging about bazball, telling me it will fail as soon as some decent bowlers get up against it. And if it fails, it is overwhelmingly likely to fail bigly – 60 all out bigly. And I will have nothing to cushion that against.
