FFS Boycott stop talking about 'women and children'. He really is unbearable in so many respects.

Only just got in and caught up with the morning's play so far - I know he hasn't really bowled very well, but it really does feel like Broad has had almost no luck this summer

Broad needs to shut up and bowl. Three in a row such a great riposte to his verbal shite.

Woakes banging it in halfway down at medium pace is so depressing. No way should they have picked him when he is so lacking in form after the injury.

Nah I mean this news about Stokes getting demerit points. I just find it absolutely insane that we're actually pulling up competitive sportsmen for swearing.

Probably miss an ashes test in winter now as can't see him not doing something in that series.

If we're going to apply that rigorously then we'll run out of players on both sides pretty fast.

The reason this is a "problem" is because those ****ing stump mics are turned on for things which aren't the delivery itself, and hence those following along at home get some juicy language from time to time. Just turn them off after the shot is completed ffs, we don't need to hear that **** and we definitely don't need to be having quality cricketers rubbed out for a game as a result.

Wasn't even swearing at the player, it was at himself after a crap day in the field. Something we have all done at whatever level of cricket we play, to get pulled up for it is crazy.

I don't understand why the mics even need to be turned off. We've been hearing this stuff for years from stump mics.

Referees should just stop being dumb shits and not punish players for crap like this.

Windies playing superbly again, dominating the game now.

If they don't win from here they want lining up in front of a firing squad. Never have a better chance of an away win against anyone. Thoroughly deserved too so far, outplayed us despite their terrible fielding, we are only still in with a chance of getting out of the game without defeat because of the dropped catches on day 1.
