I've seen 3 days of Test Cricket this summer and on each day England have batted most of it. As much as I want a strong England batting line up I have witnessed some very exciting cricket the sort you can't take your eyes off.

Visiting non cricket interested friends for lunch tomorrow and guess I won't get see a lot of the action. If it finishes Monday I reckon we probably lose.

Love a cricket stat. Two from TMS today

Chris Woakes averages

In England: Batting 36 bowling 22 which I think would put him ahead of Botham, Flintoff, and Stokes.

Overseas: Batting 19 Bowling 41 which wouldn't get him picked

Jimmy Anderson based on last 3 years

1st Innings 19.46 which makes him the very best
2nd Innings 119.83 which wouldn't get him a place.

Funny old game.
