A good opening stand so let’s fuck things up trying to be clever with some funky bazball shite 👍🏻

Amusing that Vine doesn’t seem to realise what a bellend the bloke is and, by extension, what a one he is, as a less extreme version of that cyclist. That fucking daft bike vigilante is going to end up getting seriously hurt one way or another one of these days. Vine will then go on about how terrible it is, despite adding fuel to the fire. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s fucking scary how many people are clearly texting etc whilst driving. I notice it all the time whilst out walking the dogs. But that bloke is going to get his fucking head kicked in, or worse.

Think it was mag agents provocateurs. As there are clearly some adults in thise clips wearing football tops

If the player of the tournament is worth £40m then a player from the same country who couldn’t get in the squad must be worth at least £60m 👍🏻

I think he was a massively wasted talent Tbf. Although I guess having a decent attitude is essential to avoiding that

In Corfu atm. Fuck me, it’s hot.

Start has improved the chance. I reckon England either win quite comfortably (4 or 5 wickets) or are out for around the score you said. So, nail biter it is then, given my powers of prediction (with Bairstow smashing consecutive sixes to bring up a famous win)

LTA is seething

I hate him as a pure selfish cunt 👍🏻 England have given themselves a chance anyway

I can’t think off the top of my head. Mind, everyone is in The Thin Red Line then there’s sone quite famous people who didn’t even make the final cut (like Micky Rourke)

I know what you mean. I also thought it would be difficult to top The Thin Red Line on that subject (I realise that’s a film but it could’ve almost been a mini series, it’s that long).

I’ve never actually seen its companion piece The Pacific.

Good to see @Renton back in action v Djokovic on Centre Court

It’s absolute quality.

The Harvey Barnes outlet? At Silverlink?

Bairstow drops another one.

And their readers wouldn’t give a shit anyway

That’s a bit niche

Bairstow’s the most indulged, spoilt brat of a cricketer I can remember. No one expects him to bat like Cook. But even after his best ever season he fancied keeping wicket so he could bat with zero responsibility. It’s absolutely fucked England's team balance and he hasn’t contributed anywhere near enough with the bat to make up for the missed chances. I don’t know why he gets such special treatment (and it goes back to before the current setup). He’s about the worst advert out there for the extreme form of ‘Bazball’ they’re now playing

It’s the hope that kills you

Yeah but that’s pretty much all almost everyone wants. There’s definitely something to the idea the success has led to it being taken to arrogant, irresponsible extremes with the batting. Which is compounded by playing the best attack in the world

I mentioned a few times that was massively down to the batch of Dukes balls going soft and going fuck all after about 25 overs. And the opposition makes quite a difference too

Spot on 👍🏻

Pure cringe have a word with yourself, man. You’re doing fucking foot spa adverts these days.

Yeah, I was being sarcastic. It’s going to take a very good innings from Stokes to get near their score you’d think. This is shades of four years ago without the happy ending
