    3rd Test at Headingley, Leeds

    Apparently since 1952 Australia have lost a test by one wicket or by 10 runs or fewer on nine occasions, and never won a test by a similar margin. Pretty incredible really.

    3rd Test at Headingley, Leeds

    Surely if you can mistime a shot but still have the power and technique to clear the fielders anyway that goes to your credit as a batsman? Steve Smith is an incredible player, but if he mistimes slog sweep he's getting caught on the fence because he isn't a strong enough power hitter. Stokes is...

    3rd Test at Headingley, Leeds

    I don't understand why when it got down to 40 odd to win and it was clear Stokes was in the zone that the Aussies didn't just automatically go into ODI death bowling. Yorkers, slower balls and bouncers, nothing else. They carried on bowling length for far too long and got walloped. Hazlewood's...

    3rd Test at Headingley, Leeds

    I wouldn't count on Woakes scoring many considering how badly he's struggled against the short ball in this series. Archer has a good FC record but will never have faced anything near the quality of this attack, maybe he can slog a few boundaries can't expect much more than that. These two and...

    3rd Test at Headingley, Leeds

    Imagine pre-DRS and being given out for that. DRS isn't perfect by any means, but it has improved the game immensely.

    3rd Test at Headingley, Leeds

    It's been seaming and swinging all match and England can't bat. Aus could declare now and they'd be favourites.

    3rd Test at Headingley, Leeds

    Not watching that game obviously, but I suspect the conditions are a fair bit trickier in Leeds.

    3rd Test at Headingley, Leeds

    Don't want to have a look at the spinner first ball to see how much it's turning? Plonker

    3rd Test at Headingley, Leeds

    The scorecard looks like something from the 1880s where the Wisden almanac report said it rained overnight on an uncovered pitch.

    2nd Test, Lord's, London

    49-3 batting to save a game with two hours to go. Big slog sweep first ball? What is that all about ffs?

    2nd Test, Lord's, London

    Gilchrist's hundred at Perth 06/07 This innings is nowhere near downhill skiing considering the situation he came to at the crease.

    1st Test, Edgbaston, Birmingham

    Thought he bowled very nicely for no reward yesterday. Today he hasn't been as accurate.

    1st Test, Edgbaston, Birmingham

    Australia in 1997, England won the first test Australia won the series 3-2

    1st Test, Edgbaston, Birmingham

    Australia picking Bancroft and Siddle due to strong performances in County Cricket are in for a shock. England fans learned years ago that CC performance has no correlation with Test Match ability.

    **Official** Ireland in England 2019

    If England win this test it will be the fifth lowest first innings score made by a winning side, and the other four were all pre-WWI.

    **Official** Ireland in England 2019

    Roy looks so nervous and uncomfortable out there. Complete contrast to how supremely confident he looked in the WC.

    **Official** Ireland in England 2019

    Have England ever lost their first test against another country? Other than Australia in the first ever test match obviously.
