If you lost a pair of shoes or your underwear at The Oval, let me know.

That's Smith, Lyon and now Warner with Ashes chat in the past week.

Really odd thing for Lyon to say. Can't imagine any England player giving an opinion on the Australia team. Lost count of how many times Stokes has been asked about Bumrah. Not once given his view.

And everyone lost their minds over it. .
On July 29th 1986 Dennis Amiss scored his 100th hundred. Lancashire skipper Clive Lloyd agreed to Amiss' request to an extra half hour in a dead game so he could reach the landmark, Lloyd further helping by bringing on part-time bowlers (Ken Kelly)

Another layer to the fabulous absurdity of Test cricket. Balls to be scooped up and examined.
The balls from the England India Test series are being sent back to Dukes so they can examine why they are going soft. More on that and the wider situation in here…

Six-year-old son watching the women's ODI. "My favourite cricket is Test cricket," he says. Good parenting, I think. "Because you go away and I have more fun with Mummy.". What a put down.
