Sad to hear about CMJ, he was a great commentator. I thought Blowers would be next.

This is some monumentally dull cricket, India trying to bore Australia into submission while waiting for the pitch to make a ball misbehave. Clarke was probably out too if they'd had DRS, what a shame. Hope he makes a triple ton now.

Yeah it was the 'Broad back into form' bit that I took issue with. As if it doesn't matter about what players are actually doing in matches because the favourites are just going to get picked anyway on the basis of what might happen if the stars align for them.

It's the kind of nonsense that kept Harmison around for so long when he was obviously The World's Blubberingest Vagina and got Giles picked for potential runs down the order.

It's loving stupid and I want to go on record as saying it's stupid and I don't like it.

It was just a silly Sky advert for the Ashes, it had Botham adding "with his bat" to the Broad comment.

Even the Indian commentator that ITV have rolled out for the IPL admits he hasn't a clue who some of the Sunrisers' (Deccan Chargers) Indian players are. Top quality competition then.

One franchise down for the IPL after arguments with the BCCI about money:

Could they be the first little stones that precede the avalanche?

You've got to love this line: "We waited with confidence that such a sports body should have sportsmanship spirit". An Indian company saying that about the BCCI is hilarious.

How the gently caress are Australia going to get the innings lead here? The op should be changed so the England description is just the events of this morning, ripping through the Australian side for gently caress all and then giving a record-breaking debut to the number 11.

They had some Aussie ex-player on TMS for one of the teatime shows during the test after Broad didn't walk and he said that Aussies are taught not to walk from the day they pick up the bat. "The umpire is paid to make decisions so let him make them" or words to that effect.
