Don't listen to that "test cricket" dying story. It is a recurring topic for someone to stir up some controversy.

Ashes isn�t the problem though, as has been banded about recently, India make the same cash from a T20 as a test.

4 day tests are what will ruin test cricket!

On today.... what happened to Anderson I am hearing various weird things like he just stopped bowling but didn't actually go off for treatment?

Think we have really missed a massive opportunity here and i hope we don't regret it. As good as Smith batted we could have left him stranded if we had got Cummins out. Knocking the Aussie tail over was a major problem last tour and looks like it could be again.

On a side note... nothing like a bit of Geordie North East grit from Stoneman... he sounds so calm its ridiculous.

Money is a different issue altogether. BBL will start soon and you will notice a dip in Ashes viewership. It happens everywhere.

T20 is more of an entertainment rather than a real sport.

Is Cook trying to make a comeback into the ODI squad? What really was the need to play that pull shot?

Amazing knock from smith, that partnership with cummings is probably the game changer. Unless root matches smith's knock, don't see england winning this.

Interesting stat: first time england have played an english born 11 since 2003

Watched highlights of maxwells 278 vs nsw ( attack included bollinger, copeland , abbott , henriques, okeefe ) . He needs a place in the test side pronto .

Well done to Root battling through to the close after that blow to the helmet and that hostile spell well done to Starc for running up the wicket to check he was okay.
Not impressed with Pontings comments regarding the incident.

Just when on Earth will we be able to knock tails over?

*sigh* Cook.

I think we are seeing beginning of the end here for Cook. This maybe his last international tour.

Ponting is a butthole. On more than one occasion, he has proven himself to be the permanent resident of the butt-crack region of mankind! D-bag!

Hi Guys,

Just wondered what's the bet/cheapest way to watch bt sport from my laptop, on my tv? I'ma bit of a technophobe i'm afraid.

Poor shot from Cook- but he proved the critics wrong many times before, and I hope he does so again. However, his stats have been on the wane for a while now.
