It's beautiful, and I love the attention to detail and texturing. He's gone the number 1 or number 2 clippers on the tache and the top section of the beard to give it shape and form and you can tell he's serious about beard maintenance; the oils and conditioner and what have you.
Amla has a lot to learn from Moeen Ali.
He averages 47.56 right now. Not many active players average more.
Hope fully the Aussie tour will be cancelled because of Covid as we will get murdered and embarrassed.Please appoint a coach and captain who understand the game.Root great batsman but most overrated captain ever for England.Remember Botham.We need change now and it’s time the critics stopped licking bums and got real reporting

This may have been answered already. But the boundaries seem excessively short. Is there a particular reason?
19 S/R is pushing it to say the least. Fortunately for Rahul it hasn't effected Sharma negatively.

Maybe it's an attempt to up Sibley's scoring rate.

there's not much the coach or captain can do to improve this side though
people like to pretend the most visible faces are responsible for team fortunes, but sporting success is built on boring foundations laid 5-10 years prior to present. englands lack of batting and patchy away bowling is a symptom of whatever was happening in first class and youth cricket in 2015.
i don't know enough about england to be too critical but i've always suspected the number of counties dilutes the player pool and some of the domestic conditions i've seen on the youtube livestreams aren't really representative of test cricket even in england sometimes.

It feels like a throwback to when England saved their worst performances for Lord's. Insert the opposition for no good reason? Tick. Our better bowlers not at their best? Tick. Our quickest bowler not having a go until the ball's 19 overs old and Curran being bowled from the wrong end? Tick them too. Given the relative strengths of the sides, England just can't afford to be getting so many things wrong. And yes indeed, we are in the deepest of deep **** unless something changes very quickly indeed.
