Ah, the weather. Chief disruptor of cricketing plans and enemy of the state to the United Kingdom. Famously predictable and incontrovertibly unstoppable. Manchester, it…

Excited to see what Murph can do in England! I reckon give Hazlewood a rest and chuck Neser in, he’s pretty handy with the bat.
Aussies make tough call on Lyon's Ashes campaign as opening batter drops out of squad
Bairstow tried the exact same tactic on Labuschagne in the prior innings. Do you really think Stokes would have withdrawn that appeal? What about Ollie Pope running out Colin de Grandhomme when he was limping out of his crease injured? No withdrawal there. This is a professional sport, and if you’re not on your A game like Bairstow, you’ll get punished.

Football, or how I learned to stop worrying and love the money
