Plays with a straight bat does our Joe. There's no nibbling at the wide clickbait deliveries out there

Joe Root is asked on whether there is a drinking culture amongst the England squad and whether or not there should be an alcohol ban ๐ฌ

Cox ahead of Rew feels totally wrong. Rew is a technician carving his art in county cricket, the other has been dancing the white balls leagues for nearly a year until last week
If Smith is a doubt, don't pick him - the clarity will be good for him too
& no spinner... Jeepers

Fair play, the match day experience at @Edgbaston is continually shite. Scoreboard was never up to date, the toilets are grim, the directions to the blocks are terrible, & the delay in getting out, even though we left the match early, meant we missed the last train.
Shite.

It feels very Kane Williamson to retire with no notice, no fanfare, no final match send off. One of the most understated legendary players of his generation, and an all time NZ great, who led his team to becoming World Test Champions. Stellar in every way.

If you're going to a marathon drinking session, get yourselves on the Otley Run instead.
Better value for money, less Londonists and Leeds Rhinos can hold their beer better ๐
A marathon drinking session in West London pubs involving England cricketers and Saracens players ended in a clash at a Chelsea nightclub, and has left Ben Stokesโs future as Test captain in serious doubt.

The state of this. It's not a big ask to just behave yourselves lads. Good teams don't have this noise around them

Was the lunchbreak timing driven in part by the caterers? A lot about the staging of this Test feels as though the actual cricket is just an afterthought.
So much emphasis on the 'experience' of Lords & justification of the crazy prices rather than getting a decent game on ๐
Relive a frustrating day at Lord's, which saw lunch taken during the one rare passage of sunshine on day three ๐ค๐ฆ๏ธ

Wouldn't expect that level of variable bounce at a decent club ground, let alone Lords. Terrible pitch, be interesting to see what sanctions, if any, are put their way
Matt Henry's delivery stays low and Jacob Bethell's Test comes to an end with the bat! โฌ๏ธ
Wait for that side-on angle... ๐

Sorry, but there's no way you're building a billion mile long ship for sixteen dollars
Jun 2
Plans released for a $16 billion mile-long ship capable of carrying 80,000 people.
The 'Freedom Ship' would be home to about 50,000 people, with space for 10,000 tourists and 20,000 crew members.
"The Freedom Ship is envisioned as a permanently mobile city at sea designed for long-term residence rather than short-term travel," the company says.
The ship would be about 8 times the size of the current largest ship in the world, the Royal Caribbeanโs Icon of the Seas.
The plans include a 15,000-seat stadium, schools, colleges, shops, clubs, a water park, a music hall, museums, parks, and more.
The ship, which would run on nuclear, would be too large to dock and would remain in international waters.
Freedom Cruise International says it would go around the world every two to three years.
Insane.
