Just booked flights for a holiday in Malta. I'm embarrassed to admit that I had no real idea where Malta is. I think I was confusing it with Cyprus. I'm 59

Thanks for all these, Dan. You've made our regular 4-yearly walloping almost bearable

My midweek team has added a new fixture for this season, against a Merv Hughes Masters XI. I am suitably ready

Controversial. A little bit of politics.

The number of times Root gets hit in the nads, I'm surprised he doesn't wear one permanently

Brydon Carse has the chance to do the funniest thing. If he takes 3 more wickets, by my calculations he'll have 25 in the series, out of 74 possible.
In the last 90 years or so, only John Snow in 6 tests has done better. It'll be one of England's all-time great overseas Ashes series

Trying to compare with Swann to Rogers in terms of awfulness and this wins as it is exactly what Australia planned

It's all 4D chess. England are making Australia believe they have a weakness against 65mph half trackers so that one day, one day, they will pummel their attack for 600 runs in a day

Worried that Carse is going to be shifted from his rightful number 3 slot for someone with fewer first class centuries
