    That looks like it should be a Crystal Palace third kit from 1993.

    Blind and disability captains, I think. Blind captain doesn't know how lucky he is.

    That will be the sequential number of the next England player. It's a marketing campaign for New Balance.

    Big Fat Ravi Rampaul absolutely donning it for the mighty brown hatters today. I wonder when cricket folk are finally going to realise that being a fat bastard is basically irrelevant in cricket (except in keeping hordes of 'strength and conditioning coaches' in work).

    Mark Cosgrove still racking em up. Better player than some of the clown Australia have picked in the past ten years.

    And let's not get back on my favourite player Big Fat Samit Patel.

    Bit of a stutter from us in the middle here.

    Also in the hit and giggle Narine (yes cheaty spinner Narine) has hit a 15 ball 50.

    Regardless of the result it's nice to see a team playing us at Lord's which isn't bloody Australia, India, Sri Lanka or the other usual cunts.

    The great man is currently 1* (39) in his final Test match. Maybe he has one great piece of performance art left in him.

    Big Fat Samit putting the haters to rights on Sky right now. "I've never missed a game for England or Notts, that's fitness surely?"

    I see the cobbers are in some sort of contractual dispute with their (admittedly dreadful) association.

    Somebody writing in to the cricinfo live page has just in all seriousness called for Cook to return to the one day side.

    I reckon if we won 500 games in a row then people would still complain that 5 of the team should be dropped.

    Morgan's form since BOTTLING going to lovely Bangladesh has been very good tbf to him. Nice to see Moeen having a good one day knock as well.

    Got to strongly fancy us for the Champions Trophy. Some question marks about the bowling but a fit Mark Wood would answer a couple of them.

    He says as South Africa chase these down in 42.3 overs...

    Woakes is the world's leading cricketer. The only worry is if we're forced to play Willey/Jordan.

    Jade Dernbach should now be in the side, btw, but I doubt he'll ever play for England again.

    If you could combine Willey's new ball swing and wickets with Jordan's death bowling and fielding we'd have a good option.

    They picked him back then because of his VARIATIONS when both they and his actual stock ball were shite, whereas now he's matured into a proper one day bowler and has absurd stats this year. Another one on the list of people picked when they shouldn't have been, and not picked when they should have been.

    Also, they don't watch county cricket and I do.

    Sangakkara/Curran partnership of 179 ongoing for the rey. Kumar blazing to a 61st first class hundred. Still overshadowed by tweeting his cock in the middle of a game, but you can't have everything.

    Sanga retiring at the end of the season? Looks like he could still be racking up tons in his fifties if he fancied it. What a player.

    Yeah he is (from first class stuff anyway). These last three matches from him have been borderline unfair.

    We'll have to replace him with a kolpak De Villiers, or something.

    I missed a fairly epic South African choke by the looks of things.

    Can't wait for us to get stuffed by the Bangles on Thursday.

    England win and bowl against Athar Ali Khan's boys. Rashid dropped for Ball.

    These 10.30 starts. Bring back Ian Austin and Martin Bicknell nibbling it around.

    Mahmudullah only coming in this late is their worst mistake, he's usually good for an all-conquering performance.

    Reckon the Fizz might do us in anyway. Jason Roy's not getting into form against that.

    I was just out and we played a full T20 in the same rain. lol at Australia.

    Love tournaments in this country which get spiced the fuck up by the weather and make various hot countries seethe.

    Tomorrow looks like the only day it's going to be feasible to play in Cardiff as well.

    Although Bolt and co under leaden skies at 10.30 in the morning might be a bit of a concern.

    Sign of the times in that Australians largely ignore (deny the existence of) sport when they're rotten at it?

    NZ weren't bad yesterday, but the wheels were always going to come off once Williamson was out. England's batting is just mental at the moment. Hopefully Roy can find some form with the pressure off against Australia (as if it won't be washed out).

    Australian media barely cover away series anyway do they? Ashes aside. Half the time you hear they don't even pay for TV/radio coverage or send journalists out.
