We know sometimes it looks like we’re actively ignoring major news, but quite often it’s just that we’ve got nothing to say.

Seems like it’s a choice between Rehan, Jacks, Dawson and our old favourite Mr A.N Other Right Arm Seamer.

Jack Leach’s back! Blah blah. This is not good news.

I’m with APW on this one. First choice for me, Moeen. Second choice Rehan. There is no third choice.

I am concerned about Ahmed, Jacks or even Parkinson getting ‘Kerriganed’.

Time to ask Moeen to take one for the team yet again and come out of retirement? Hmmm…

Now what?

To be fair Ireland had an impressive attack. Never have I seen 4 near identical right arm bowlers consistently hit 80mph…. apart from the 2017 Ashes where Tom Harrison seemed to decide that all english seamers had to bowl at exactly 83mph. To erm… make the convicts job more difficult or something?

Zak Crawley is making a one-man bid to have the shot’s name transfered to Kent…

…but no-one in their right mind would choose to say “Kent cut” after a couple of G&Ts.

It usually is.

The Ashes is going to either be amazing, or traumatic, or both.

Because his defence is so sound (by his own account) he can afford to leave the gate open. Lesser players get bowled through it, or play on. But class will out.
