Someone started tweeting the England team complaining that only 81 of the 90 overs was bowled then Alex Hales refunded him £4.10 :laugh:

Hales is a good lad. The current team do in general seem to be very good with the fans at the ground.

Also

Happy 60ao day everybody!

Sky seem to be writing Steyn off, Odd. Then go and pick Morkel....no mention of Broad at all.

Should have tweeted the umpires then, in summer in England there's no reason why you can't continue playing past 8pm.

It's yet another one of those stupid cricket rules. Short on overs, light is absolutely fine, go off anyway.

Kohli doesn't really deserve it for Tests yet, not sure I'd play Stokes, and Broad over Morkel every day, Starc also very hit-and-miss so far, Steyn still deserves it for me.

That's the TV companies doing. Which is ironic because the commentators are first to moan about the fans being short changed.

When did Steyn last play a Test though?

Not denying he's probably still the best quick in the world (and the reason I say 'probably' is because I don't think you can 100% say that with confidence about a bowler in his 30s who hasn't played for a year IIRC and who's had recent injury woes, regardless of how good his record is) but it really depends how strict your definition of current is. Starc was trending upwards in England last year, excellent against New Zealand and seems to be the only Aussie enhancing his reputation in Sri Lanka currently.

Yeah I don't mind them not picking him (although I would) it was just the way they were talking about him.

Morkel over Broad is obviously way more ridiculous.
