Did anyone else watch 'the Test' on Amazon Prime? I only watched it last week, can't believe I didn't check it out sooner. The chaos of the 3rd Headingly Ashes test from the Aussie dressing room was insane. Couldn't have written a script like that.

It was excellent, I binged it last year in a ridiculously short amount of time.

You couldn't help but warm to a number of the Aussies.

In all honesty it didn't give me any better opinion of them. I've always hated that team and it made me more repulsed by them trying to greenwash their image. A handful of them seem okay, but the rest are horrible. Mitch Marsh, Khawaja, Finch, Hazelwood, maybe Paine and that's about it for me.

I also like how they refer to their blatant cheating as a 'mistake' and expect things to carry on like nothing happened. Guess we can all do whatever we like then label it an accident or a mistake later and expect our reputations to remain intact.

If I ever see Warner in my life, I'd ask him what it's like to be married to the village whore. Some guys love to dish it out and can't take it. As immature as it is, I'd love to see the look on his face.

Will check it out, never heard of it. Fire in Babylon is excellent too.

SA vs WI too

South Africa XI: 1 Aiden Markram, 2 Dean Elgar (cap), 3 Keegan Petersen, 4 Rassie van der Dussen, 5 Kyle Verreynne, 6 Quinton de Kock (wk), 7 Wiaan Mulder, 8 Kagiso Rabada, 9 Keshav Maharaj, 10 Lungi Ngidi, 11 Anrich Nortje

West Indies XI: 1 Kraigg Brathwaite (capt), 2 Shai Hope, 3 Nkrumah Bonner, 4 Kyle Mayers, 5 Jermaine Blackwood, 6 Roston Chase, 7 Joshua Da Silva (wk), 8 Jason Holder, 9 Rahkeem Cornwall, 10 Kemar Roach, 11 Jayden Seales

----

Windies won the toss and elected to bat. Braithwaite replaces Holder as captian.

Fantastic news for SA, Bavuma ruled out through injury so Verreynne and Peterson are in the XI. Probably the closest to a merit based (not quota) team fielded in 3 or 4 years. Hopefully they can both get some runs and we never see VC Bavuma in a test match again.

179-6

Really poor from England...

[Buzzo]

England exist to collapse.

[Zapater]

Bit of a fun fact for people who didn't know. Daryl Mitchell who had a bit of a trundle is the son of John Mitchell, the ex All Blacks coach and current England defence coach.

[Yozza]

They actually recovered quite well - thanks to Burns & Lawrence England get to 258-7

Wood putting on a batting masterclass.

Kiss of death....

He had a massive swipe at one outside off the very ball after I posted that.

Loving Mikey calling Boult a 'dibbly dobbly' bowler would definitely wind up some kiwis.

2 wickets down already for England. Will be lucky to make NZ bat again!
