Andrew Strauss has a lot to answer for after the dropping/sacking of Kevin Pietersen.
But he wasn't Eng... Oh, better not start that again!Quote:

Everyone is at it😂
I knew someone would bite!
True
In any sport the only country you can play for should be the country of your birth place.
Simples👍
Back to cricket. Thanks for the rain😂

Oh dear.
Aussies caught cheating.

What were Smith et al thinking - and even now, what is he thinking - why has he not resigned? This will be used against all Aussies for decades, despite "only" being sport.
No excuses for what they did, but the issue of ball tampering does need addressing. OK to shine the ball, but not to roughen it. OK to put hair gel/suncream/lip balm on it, but not grit. OK to pick at it with a fingernail, or let adhesive from a hand bandage get on it - and so on.
Good to see Smith has gone. Let's hope he and all concerned are appropriately punished.
Smith has only been fined his match fee and given a one test ban.
I think there is MUCH more fall out to come.
Even their PM is putting the boot in.
I've not heard the views of Michael Atherton yet!
Last seen with his hands firmly stuffed in his pockets and a firm grin
The guy is an England legend anyway. How we could do with some cricketers now with his application and desire
Ooooff:

Well you can't say the Aussies have swept this under the carpet. Good on them for not closing ranks on this.
England struggled with the bat in the fist NZ test so we drop 2 bowlers.
Similar in the 2nd test first day.
Why a Cook and Malan still in the side?
Lords the home for England to lose test matches.
Batsmen crap again.
When will we pick form players instead of the regular losers?
I see they've sneaked that brawling Kiwi back into the team.
Good to see the lad from Somerset included
We're doomed - it's time to change captain. :)
I agree. Top 5 batsmen too.
The boy from Somerset done good today
Aye, in't it strange. The new boy and the recall have decent knocks, but the regulars fail to perform.
Leads one to ask if central contacts are working.
The couple of games Root played for Yorkshire he bearly scored any runs.
Let's go bac to picking player's who are on form.
Fairly even at the minute in the test match.
It wouldn't be had Malan kept hold of Kohli!
By all accounts ticket sales are struggling for some of these mid-week days. I'm hoping to get to one of the last 3 days (Mon-Weds) in Nottingham depending upon the status of the match.
Aye
And another poor show from Cook.
Fantastic test match this. It’s like the summer has just begun 🍾
2 days, 21 wickets,one ton plus
Who do you think will win?
Oh dear the collapse is on.
As pointed out Cook failed again an has the lowest average of the top 7 English batsmen.
In the middle of the season we must have a lad on form.
Cook goes back to his county to score some runs.
Hardly rocket science but if you're in the click for England you keep getting picked.
Or we pick a lad in one day form who doesn't play red ball cricket.
Selections appear to be very strange.

New way to get Kohli out.
Bowl at the stumps
Good test match and closely fought out.
Good win for England. It sets it up for the rest of the summer. Isn't Kohli box office?
Good result but let's hope it doesn't paper over the cracks of some of the top order failing and dropped catches!
Kohli is money
Good points ba-ba
Roll on Thursday
Kiwi Ben Stokes found not guilty!!!
The jury must have been bowled a googly. I reckon the decision will be sent upstairs for the third umpire to have a look!
