So disappointing the @BCCI has taken a path of confrontation instead of promoting peace — India’s no-handshake stance with Pakistan tied to politics: BCCI
cricexec.com
BCCI says India’s no-handshake policy with Pakistan reflects the ongoing geopolitical climate—not cricket. Trophy row and icy player relations continue.

Funny how the Poms never talk about Ben Stokes and Bristol night clubs. I suggest they read some of the court evidence. #Ashes #Ashes2025 — Lehmann criticizes Sandpapergate abuse from England fans

For all those looking to fill in time before the second Test this is ideal. It includes my yarn on why these Pommy cricketers aren’t nice blokes…
🏏 New one out now 🏏 Jarrod Kimber: England mustn’t be trailing going into the pink-ball Test. Anyway, this is shot through with goodies. It was great meeting Jim Rosenthal, and Rob Shepherd’s piece on Keith Boyce is delightful

With thanks to @Telegraph for the opportunity to express an unfiltered view on the myth of Bazball #Ashes #Ashes2025
"Oh Bazball is great fun. Just go out there and express yourself. Play like you are a kid again. Rekindle that joy. Smack the ball all over the place. That is what the game is all about. "Actually, it is not. It is about winning" ✍️ @malcolmconn

“The English teams that have visited Australia since 1862 have been good and bad, feared and derided, but none have so quickly developed a reputation for insularity, bordering on arrogance, as those of 2025-26.” Arrogant indeed!

Sadly for Uz I can’t see him getting back in the team. Head simply must stay at the top of the order after that historic piece of magic, with Green at 5, and Webster at 6 given his performances in that position during 2025. #Ashes #Ashes2025

Stokes is in denial about @englandcricket batting. At 100 in front with 1 wicket down They could have batted Australia out of the game. Not so much Bazball as Dumbball. #Ashes #Ashes2025

Further to a day 3 trip to Rottnest Island the @TheBarmyArmy could also take a Swan River wine cruise which will take them past the lovely ground of Lilac Hill where @englandcricket had their “balls to the wall” warmup game. Now balls are on the block. #Ashes @Ashes2025

So @englandcricket have been bowled out twice in a Test inside 70 overs with Australia missing Cummins and Hazlewood to lose by 8 wickets inside 2 days. That is a monstrously bad performance. Greatness from Australia when it counted. Well played Starc and Head #Ashes #Ashes2025

The @ECB_cricket should compensate Cricket Australia and the broadcasters and telecasters for all the lost revenue from a two day Test. #Ashes #Ashes2025 . 101k packed in for the first two days. That’s 100k of ticket sales straight off.

So @englandcricket have gone from dynamic to diabolical in less than a day. Time to write the Ashes off for another series. #Bazball might be great fun but @ECB_cricket will never win anything of substance batting like they do. #Ashes #Ashes2025
