Interesting programme on Amazon Prime documenting the Aussies since Langers took over including the 2019 WC and Ashes series. It made me more fearful for the upcoming tour down under. I have this vision of the aging Broad and Anderson toiling in the midday Sun as Smith makes 500 not out.

Jimmy Anderson on bowling at and indeed dismissing Australia’s Labureaudechange:
"It's like when you see a girl at a club and you try to play it cool. You want her to be impressed. You start dancing to the Stone Roses while your shoes stick to the floor."

I find it frustrating that England only ever seem to play 2 tests per series against NZ.

Home test matches in England are very well supported and nearly always sell out for the first four days. Given the strength of the current and recent NZ teams, I am sure a three or four match series against them would be good box office for our national stadiums such as Edgbaston and Old Trafford.

On a different subject, I see Bancroft admitted the bowlers were in on the ball tampering escapades against SA.
I said this at the time and argued that I also found it difficult to believe they were caught out (pun)whilst doing it for the first time. I suspect they had been at it during the previous Ashes down under. No doubt the truth will come out fully when one of them retires and puts out a book or sells his story to a newspaper.

Can’t help thinking that NZ would have been more aggressive with the bat last night if McCullum was still the captain.
Proper team though the Black Caps whilst our batters continue to vacillate between looking like a bag of nerves (Pope and Sibbley) and not giving a flying (Crawley and Lawrence) so could yet turn into another batting disaster on an increasingly awkward pitch.
