Catching bits of lots of games, but mostly using it to see what sort of form the England T20i lads are in, or aren’t in, in Morgan’s case.

realised I’m treating it almost exactly like I treat the blast when lancs aren’t playing, just background noise when I’m having my tea/something to watch passively if I’m tired

watched the first two or three games but then I realised I don’t really care about domestic short form stuff much if my team aren’t playing.

not gonna compete with the Olympics

I will not

Frankly I’m not really even sure anything happens on the final Sunday, yet somewhere out there, long after the always underwhelming closing ceremony has fizzled out, two bunches of snacky foes will be battling it out in a way no other sport can compete with.

… Until the English football season starts in earnest.

Not funny at all. Who’s that sniggering?

They should rebrand Test Match cricket as The 2,700

Slow over rate reference, but got the maths horribly wrong.

Bang up for getting wound up about slow over rates today, especially after the HUndred over rate penalties chat. Channel a load of frustrations into something that does really genuinely annoy me but doesn’t matter in the slightest in the grand scheme of things.

Think I might see if I can make some golf slow play/cricket comparisons, so everyone can look forward to that later on.

England win the toss and choose to be all out by tea

Got tickets for Friday. Hopefully there’s some rain and @The_Excession angering over rates so I can see some play

Like the look of our bowling, although no spinner is always a risk. Have made room behind the sofa for the safest place to watch us batting. Fragile is an insufficient word.

Honestly don’t remember hearing the Indian national anthem before. Was beautiful!

God ours sounds somehow even more prole-smashingly tory after that.
