A close relative is part of the crew responsible for the content of this. Whilst the programme will be enlightening, the amount of stuff they collected and wanted to use but couldn't due to legal threats is incredible. Can't put it into the public domain but it would make the Cronje and Amir episodes seem trivial. Has pretty much ruined cricket for me really!

Will be last chance saloon in the next test for some like Stoneman the batting constantly keeps failing to get 400 despite there being plenty of talent so have less excuse than the sometimes powderpuff which looks a real pace but wood is the side at the minute hoping he can bring that to us

It's the most pessimistic I've been about an England test team since the 90s.

Ridiculous how the England setup can label the claims as 'outrageous' ...how the hell can they know for certain that none of the squad have been got to?!
Players' heads need to roll for this, it's a million times worse than the Aussies' tapegate and sickens me.
Would this stop if gambelling was legalized in all countries?

The problem is the cricket boards are complicit. Literally on the payroll so they'll do nothing. Notice Root's wording yesterday, "I've been told by the ECB to say...". It's a scandal but the worry is the ICC protects their own rather than acts with integrity.

Alastair Cook is going through a bit of a rough patch, but the men opening with him have done far worse https://es.pn/2kAsK34 yet to replace Strauss, five years on and counting

He's bowled well. Needs to perform more consistently in red ball for me, looks a different player with the white ball in his hand.

His problem is his lack of variation. Spinners more than ever need that. Quite happy to see him bowling well, though. Whitewash very much on now.

Imagine if Bell were in the team this summer.
131 off 62 today to lead to a tied match. Been in scintillating form.

Red Rose tinted glasses here, but Lancs captain Liam Livingstone must be close to getting a call up. Smashing the balls to all corners and taking wickets bowling leg spin.
