Welcome to the Bishop and Bear!

England have won a Test Match on a dodgy (sorry unsatisfactory) Lord’s pitch. And now we look forward to more Kiwi action at the Oval. And while we wait, it’s all been rather quiet hasn’t it?

No, obviously it hasn’t. England have gone to the secret gun cupboard hidden behind a Lord’s bookcase*, pulled out a 12 bore, popped in a couple of shells, lifted their collective leg and blasted themselves in the foot. If you hadn’t heard of the ‘The Rex Rooms’, or thought they were a museum of memorabilia for Marc Bolan, Steve Took, Mickey Finn and other members of the world’s most famous dinosaur tribute act, well you’ve heard of them now.

Serious stuff. This calls for some heavyweight analysis in The Bishop and Bear and this is delivered by our own Heavyweight Head of Serious Analysis, Hendo (when he finally analyses how his microphone works).

Adto all that, Kane Williamson carefully picked his moment to pop into the Bishop and Bear and announce his retirement. Blimey, it’s all happening and we are across it for you. We even have time to make our Oval predictions and look forward to the WWT20 too.

Don’t forget to catch every ball of the New Zealand series with us. You will find that right here on our Guerilla YouTube channel.

And the best way to enjoy Guerilla Cricket with loads of extra benefits is to

Put your feet up, grab your drink and fill your boots.

All the best

*We made this up. As far as we know, Lord’s doesn’t have a secret shotgun cupboard. Although would we be completely surprised if it did?
