that could be a really good game

Unless weather intervenes don't see many games being drawn.

Thought it was an excellent Test match against the current number 1 ranked side. Could have gone one either way right until the end - Stokes holds that chance and we could be seeing a different narrative. Don't think the declaration was that big a deal - had enough chances in the field in both...

If they lose today it's arguably more about converting chances with the ball than the bat. Some stat last night Australia converted 12 from 15 fielding chances whereas England only converted 8 from 18 ( Inc Bairstow just 4 from 10).

Could all revolve around how Moeen bowls - can't give away as many boundary balls as he did in the first innings. And can't waste as many chances as they did in 1st innings either.

Has to be a balance between Bazball and your last recognised batsman nursing the tail.

Pretty much the same. More interested to see Williams actually get properly in the points when I looked at the results.

Nobody should be wasting money on day 5 tickets this summer :)

It's just insane. First day of first Ashes Test and it's "here's who we are now - what you got?". Could backfire spectacularly if they bat 2 days for 600 but it's just enthralling atm.

Sums up bazball. Attacking out of a potentially difficult situation. Put yourselves on a nice position with a healthy scoring rate. Then walk past a ball that didn't really need playing at - having just edged one. Dull it isn't!!! Root again reverse sweeping like there's no tomorrow - Boland not...

Glenda Jackson was one of the great British actresses. Could do the lot from comedy through to tragedy, film or theatre.

That's more understandable. Don't see the likes of Neymar or Grealish being in a rush to go there. Or players with flashy wags. But older players with a more settled lifestyle -2/3years on that money is creating generational wealth/security.

Lifestyle has to be a factor moving to Saudi Arabia. Isn't going to suit some

Thought it was about 280k per week. Still a substantial sum but he'll get close to that staying in Europe. Palace have offered 200k apparently.

Few (if any) are going to turn down the ridiculous sums being offered to play in a soft league.

Found guilty by one jury and ordered to pay compensation .

PGA admits it couldn't afford to finance legal battles and improve purses at same time.

These threads just aren't the same with OSB not longer here

LIV also needed PGA. Couldn't get a proper TV deal, running at a huge loss although obviously Saudi money covers it. Prize pools probably going to be watered down now with bigger fields. Think many of the new concepts will be watered down and some disappear with this new merger - no need for LIV...

Realpolitik counter will be US needs its strategic alliance with EU against China and an emboldened Russia (if they win).
