England's Summer of 2022

I mean however you want to shake it, 6-1 from the depths of where England came from, dropping only one Test to last year's WTC finalists and the team (I think) who were 1st on the table a month ago, is insane

Absolutely. I'll look up the 'deliberate understatement' emoji next time I post something along my opening line in the OP.

Cummins, Hazelwood & Starc are looking forward to having England 2-10 in every Ashes test in 2023.

And then 306-4 (right way round) 45 overs later

I said McCullum was worth a punt when he was appointed and the gamble has paid off so far.

Excellent, so happy for you. Now that he's set you on the right path, can we have him back please?

Was a fantastic set of performances, has certainly revived my interest in next year's ashes, especially since it surely(?) has to be Jimmy's swansong.

Fairly sure we’ve thought every Ashes 2015 onwards would be his last. Maybe even 13-14. He’ll probably still be taking Aussie poles in 2027 and @Son Of Coco and @Burgey will still belligerently pretend he’s not a ****ing legend because he happened to have a crap series over there in 2006

Jimmy should play until he is 50. By then, he'll be taking wickets at 10 a piece.

It could be 2037 and he will still be nicking off Indian batsmen in England with your cloudy "summers"
