England have ‘planned for the next Ashes tour’ forever. Fact is, they’ve won ONE series there in 3 decades. Stop the obsession, and stop disrespecting all other opposition both home and away. Winning now & winning consistently breeds winning in 4 years’ time. Simple.

It’s a very Dhoni-like decision to hand over the @ChennaiIPL captaincy to @imjadeja like this. Truly the end of an era! Question is, how can you be a ‘non playing captain’, if you’re no longer captain? Does Dhoni get picked solely on his keeping? #IPL2022 🇮🇳🏏

India have made over 200 in the 3rd innings on this supposed ‘minefield’. And that’s after England started the day bowling and fielding really well, on a helpful pitch. I’d say that’s a really good battle between bat and ball. It puts the ‘test’ in test match. #INDvENG 🇮🇳 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🏏

@leicspolice @maaiysa What’s a ‘community leader’? These aren’t tribal lands, this is England. Engage with the youth on both sides who are causing this, not self appointed middle aged men who claim to speak for entire communities.

Fantastic knock from Shubman Gill 🔥🔥🔥💯 Proving exactly why he should be opening in ODI’s. Kishan had one great knock, and is a solid replacement. But Gill oozes class & consistency. #INDvSL #INDvsSL @ShubmanGill

The toss might have helped a little (and that’s all), but India have been much better with both bat and ball in this test. England are possibly on the verge of being asked to follow on. #INDvENG

Lots of people suggesting the 5th test will start on Sunday. That’s not guaranteed. This series was scheduled with no ‘give’. The schedule is packed, and a 2 day delay here means a 2 day delay for many players & staff getting to the UAE for the IPL. #ENGvIND #ENGvsIND 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇮🇳🏏

For anyone interested, it looks like the #SLvIND ODI series is available on Sky channel 712 in the UK. That’s Foodxp….yes, it’s a cooking channel….no, don’t ask! 🇱🇰🇮🇳🏏
