Gwyn when some people who know little about cricket it talk about it, they don't understand the joy junior and village cricket bring. There is little better than sitting around a field on a nice summers day with a glass of something in your hand chatting and watching a game of cricket, unless of course you are playing. Elitist and only for the privileged it is not. |  | |  |

He’s making too many mistakes for this level of cricket. Smith gone now though so a good morning for us. |  |

I'd pick Foakes every time as the wicketkeeper. There's not much between their test batting average, if you're comparing their batting - but Foakes is by far the better wicketkeeper ... Foakes. 32.2 Bairstow. 36.88 |  |
| Everyday above ground ... Is a good day! 😎 |

Root usually so dependable in the slips puts Marsh down. He’ll probably go on to score large now😡 |  |

So very true. I grew up in the 50s and 60s. Part of that included vivid memories of cricket in and around Swansea which was more industrial ,more working class if you like,than it is even now. Most parks had a cricket pitch which we used to utilise climbing over the ropes. Utterly wonderful days as were my days of playing tennis in Dunbvant Park. Middle class ….privileged ,my arris . |  |

| The Ashes on 16:38 - Jul 6 with 2991 views | union_jack | Good day on the whole for England so far. I’m a bit concerned with the speed of the pitch and what Starc and Co may be able to do. Strap yourselves in. |  |
