If Joe Root does pass Sachin before he retires test cricket will have an extended shelf life at least until the next Indian phenomenon #Root #Tendulkar #ENGvSL

Whatever the result a great fifth day test match which has ebbed and flowed . A decent Aussie away from home victory if they can wrap up the SA tail #durban #savaus

Pleased for Matty Renshaw . He has got tough runs here when his country has needed them . Always thought he has bn unlucky to play in a strong Aussie era . Would have played a lot more test cricket for another country #SAvAUS #queensland

Three international ODI matches today and none are going to offer up any close thrilling finish. Only the World Cup being on next year is making these ODIs relevant in modern day cricket sadly #ENGvSL #WIvIND #SAvAUS

When the industry needs people to take the sport seriously more than ever with the livelihoods of so more people dependent on it . Racing continues to shoot itself in the foot . Imagine turning up for a professional football match at a scheduled start time & the grass had not been cut or the lines of the pitch ain’t been painted #redcar

Huge innings for Emillio Gay with a South Africa tour place on the line #ENGvPAK

Away team getting the choice to bat or not with no toss required for all test match cricket . Is this something that could delay the inevitable total demise of the greatest format of the sport ? #ENGvPAK

Pakistan will do well to bat out the day #ENGvPAK

Now that Pakistan cricket supporters following the test matches in the UK has diminished . You do wonder that the value of playing them here is merely just to make you feel you are better test match playing nation than you actually are #ENGvPAK

Mike Dean should be sacked from all related football media outlets with immediate effect . Pathetic attention seeking but this is a professional sport with huge money at stake . Shocking behaviour #EPL #premierLeague #skysports

Pakistan don’t mess about axing seven players & two coaches mid series . This is what England should do instead of blind loyalty especially on embarrassing Ashes Tours #ENGvPAK

England are sixth in the World Test Championships . But the only measurements are away series against Australia India & South Africa who they go to in December . Flemings rebuild from the Bazball mess starts there #ENGvPAK

Do we expect Pakistan to get 50% of this chase target ? #ENGvPAK

Really interesting viewing listening to @DineshKarthik critique Rizwan wicketkeeping on @SkyCricket #ENGvPAK

First day of Lord’s test match standard #ENGvPAK

Really feel sorry for Joe Root the ultimate professional having to field more questions about a culture that the ECB had let fester under Baz mismanaged beyond and has definitively not given strict repercussion #ENGvPAK
