What's a point of cricket?

Oh, how do you do it?

Great cricket is a present.

We're going to look at the perils of sweeping. We're the good cricket team. Grey's cricket says real brats. If you're going to do it, do it to England. He's out now. He's got 40. Who's the fucking people in my lap? Well, what the hell was that? The most chaotic start to a summer in living memory, or as Monty calls it,

Oliver Twist, with England committing one of the all-time hatchet jobs on themselves. Australia

as a nation, barely believing what was happening in front of our crow's footed eyes, the arrogance,

australia's up one nil That makes me feel good and safe.

What are the main thoughts?

My main thoughts are that there is a mania at the heart of Basball that test cricket like

life throws up different questions and situations.

But for Bazball, the answer is always the same.

The answer is to double down.

There is something unsettling

about watching England play test cricket. I can only imagine what it's like being an actual fan of

these coats. One day watching Prime West Indies play, thinking you're about to scale Everest and do

the thing that no one's been able to do for a very, very long time. If England were to win the ashes away, it would trump all of the wins Australia has over

there because they don't have the thing for a long time.

And then the very next day they conspire to capitulate to, frankly, their most humiliating
