Sorry, but Root is one of the greatest batmen around. He's way too good to even consider leaving out of this side.

Was, Troy, Was.

Unless something drastic happens, his days in the international sun are numbered.

You can't carry a player who keeps getting out cheaply just because he has the odd great innings.

Quite

Root has spent over a year in the wilderness trying to work out how to fit in to Stokes' team and he already had the solution, just do what you always do. He stands a chance of clearing 14-15k test runs and i hope he is selfish enough to try for that target, if he does Eng will be in a better pkace for it.

Well that's sorted, then.

3 of the 4 people who have a scooby have agreed.

I'll be back after a few series with an "I told you so" then.



* Especially since we only have the bacon sarnies and SL to cope with.

My mistake.

Slap me with a wet kipper.

Not much difference though, is there.

If he can't rack up the runs against that lot, it's time to move on.

What's this two runs per over crap?

Aussie absolutely demolishing the Black Caps.

So, is it time for Cameron Bancroft?

Smith's failures as an opener seem worse because he can't salvage the situation at number four.

And now Khawaja very nearly chops on too.

My mate's off to the India v England 5th test and flies out tomorrow.

He's paid the princely sum of 12 quid for the whole 5 days.

^ will they refund 20 rupees for the 5th day?

I was thinking that's probably gonna be a freebie.

By that day he'll probably be spending most of his time on the bog anyway.

tell him to get on the Punjab 6000

found it, had a very hazy couple of days on this when we stopped at a wildfire reserve in 2006

I like the "up to" bit.

Singha used to be unpredictable like that.

Chang too.

Though it never said so on the label.

I like the 'lucky dip' element.

Indian train drivers in fatal accident watched cricket on mobile

Karen Nielsen




In October last year, a passenger train ran into another passenger train in the Indian state of Andhra Pradash. 14 people lost their lives and more than 50 were injured.

India's Minister of Railways, Ashwini Vaishnaw, told the Times of India that the two train drivers in the rear train were watching cricket on a mobile phone when the accident happened.

The minister said safety systems were now being installed "to detect if train drivers are inattentive."

Both drivers lost their lives in the accident. The final report from the Accident Investigation Commission has not yet been published, writes the Times of India.

Pope playing the wrong ball wins him this morning's 'stupidity' award, though.
