Henry Blofeld retires from TMS
Good. Useless old duffer should have been put out to pasture long ago.
OK ok, it's not the Ashes but it's still good to be able to watch some cricket in the mornings. England struggling a bit in India just now but I suppose that's no surprise against the No1 ranked side in the world in their own conditions. Competitive in the first test but were pretty much outplayed in tests 2 and 3. 400 in the first innings in the 4th test has been an improvement (thanks to a former South Africa under 19's captain making his debut) but they are really suffering for their lack of a decent spinner.

I saw him on the Chase nae long ago. Seemed a bit of an arrogant tossbag
Yas. Proper mannies' cricket back the morn, at Lord's.
A solid-looking England line-up with a one hoor of a length of batting capability.
Even highlights on Channel 5 every night. **** your arse with a broken Whitbread bottle Murdoch you coffin-dodging Fascist tossbag.
And a Boycott Bingo card too. Yas.

Should be a good test, shame I won't even be able to watch highlights here. England's batting does look good with Ballance, Root and Bairstow 3-5. See they have a couple of spinners as well, first time in a while. du Plessis absent for S.A.? Rabada will be exciting to watch.
Morning Vintage, Morning Everyone.
England win the toss and bat first.
Eng - Cook, Jennings, Balance, Root (c), Bairstow (wk), Stokes, Ali, Dawson, Broad, Wood, Anderson
Saffers - Elgar (c), Kuhn, Amla, Duminy, Bavuma, du Bruyn, de Kock (w), Philander, Maharaj, Rabada, Morkel
Looking forward to this. Fancy England might win the series quite comfortably tho, this isn't the greatest SA side.
ENG Top Scorer - Rooooooooooooot
ENG Top Wicket taker - Anderson (if he lasts)
SA Top Scorer - de Kock
SA Top Wicket taker - Rabada
You're only getting 2/1 the draw. Bookies know their weather forecast.
