A bush horse is lost, but a greyhound is found. Nevertheless, is the perfect storm forming for England? Not with this prep, allege “has-beens”, after four years of this exact kind of prep. Welcome to the worst six weeks online, by the way. We catch up with Gideon and Pete from Cricket et al for vocabulary and reason, before sitting down with whispered youth, Campbell Kellaway and Ollie Peake to talk facing Starc, watching Smith, and knowing Konstas. The boys are doing well. India shit-tip themselves out of a Test – consensus is that it’s a real shame. Caoimhe Bray snares a hat-trick before learning about it, and AskTGC traverses white ball cricket and regrettable tattoo promises.
