You made the right choice there Tony, it was stressful enough following on the radio. Much more intense when you are there.

Back on the emotional roller-coaster tomorrow. Not sure I can manage...

I have been quite drawn to the idea of having a specialist captain in the squad. Helpful to have them score a few runs or take a couple of wickets if needed but surely worth their spot if they can...

At least our best opener is in. Leach should carry us over the line.

Here we go again. Feeling excited already. I'm glad that Archer isn't playing, as you say it's not worth aggravating the injury and Broad, Woakes and Anderson know Edgbaston like the back of the...

He could well be. The Aussies have given themselves plenty of batsmen to choose from in their squad which hints that they aren't sure about their top order.

Perhaps we should try Stokes at three. ...

Decorating well and truly completed. Will the quality workmanship last a week?

Fabulous display of bowling from Broad and Woakes which may give the Aussies something to think about. Just need the...

Not the best start......

Thanks for the reminder. I've been on a bit of cricket detox since the madness of the six or so weeks of the World Cup. A nice gentle test will be perfect to ease back in to it.

Oh, there goes...

Yes, not having it free to air does seem to go against the mantra of increasing the sports fan base. I've never been a fan of Sky but was vaguely tempted to get sky just for this but not worth it for...

Woke up this morning feeling like I did as child on Christmas morning.

I suspect my productivity will drop over the next few weeks, I'll need to remind myself that I don't have to listen to every...

Well we managed to get over the line. In some ways I am reassured that, with the strength in depth we have, there is someone there to get the runs. On the other hand it would have good for someone in...

For me this has too many similarities to the Sam Burgess - Rugby World Cup 2015 palava with the added pressure of being the favourites at the moment. I was hoping that it would be handled a bit...

Had to turn the radio off with ten overs to go as the wife wanted us to watch a film. [emoji24]

Looks like the Windies are being similarly restrained.....

It's all gone a bit quiet here since Friday. Not surprising really.

We'll done with those tickets MrSmith, it should be a good day out. Took the boy there to the India one dayer last year which...

Quite possibly. We seem to have trialled most of the openers in the counties over the last couple of years. Burns is still relatively fresh (there was a large clamour for him to be selected last...

Watched the afternoon session, excellent bowling from the Windies. Some poor luck (two played on!!) and poor shots (Moeen). All down to the bowlers. Again.
