I’d recommend listening to the Totally Football show, it’s where former host, Jimbo, of Football Weekly.
I’m actually working on an article about pricing of match tickets, tv subs, merchandise throughout Europe.
Another article is the perceived shift of Premier League football to the south, and particularly London.
Premier League: Managerial movements
I often think that Moeen bats like a tailender because he is batting so often with the tail.
However, England do need to be careful with Bairstow. He is a quality player that may be wasted at seven. It’s not like Aus with Gilly as he had a quality 6 ahead of him. With Malan and Vince in that top 6, they need to find a way of batting Jonny higher.
Personally i’d have:
1. Cook
2. Stoneman
3. Root
4. Malan
5. Bairstow
6. Moeen
7. Foakes (wk)
8. Woakes
9. Overton
10. Broad
11. Anderson
England's most likely XI for the Gabba
I’ve seen rumours this week that Moeen will bat 6 at Bairstow at 7.

Arsenal’s home form has been solid, but their biggest test will be going somewhere like Burnley next weekend and winning. If I were an Arsenal I would be disappointed if the work-rate shown on Saturday isn’t repeated. Although I wonder whether they are trained well enough to keep up the same tempo.

I don’t know whether you are being sarcastic, but Broad is pretty much a walking wicket with the bat

Lots of connection with Yorkshire and this Aus team. Lehmann is a living legend here and players like Starc, Handscomb, Marsh, Head, Maxwell all been over here in recent years.
If Shaun Marsh is the answer, you have to wonder what the question was
As a Yorkshire fan I was very impressed with Marsh this summer. Handscomb was patchy and never really got going, but Marsh carried himself well and improved our top-order no end during his short stay.

Vince’s innings currently go to form.
1. Quick start, lots of good looking drives
2. Drives to slip
