Talk of this being a statement from Australia; for me the statement is England’s middle order failing so badly third innings and you shouldn’t win from that; the fact sometimes you can, can make fools of us. But a Ben Stokes team can turn the series back. Of course amazing Head #TheAshes

Don’t wish to enter the arguments over the term ‘People of a certain age’ but fair to say I’m of that age that a 2.30 start won’t need an alarm. But what sleep will follow knowing what we know now? #TheAshes

Such can be the contradictions of watching cricket I wanted to see more of Head v England; and to be out to a better ball and shot; but Stokes is often the ringmaster and he now he has two #TheAshes

So credit to Brook and Pope for doing enough to allow a good three/four hours of sleep thinking all was well.
Now let’s see what this much nurtured attack can do.

See it’s not as simple as turning the commentary off followed by the lights; next it’s the stopping that ‘one final look at the score’ before going to sleep #TheAshes

Thinking of Sara Cox; many do amazing things for others every day but what Sara has clearly been going through this week (a word I try and avoid but seems so right here) inspirational and grounded in love.

News of Bairstow and O’Neill, Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire respectively has cheered me up this morning.
If only April were a bit closer; to long to wait for something worthwhile.

We make mistakes.
Our enemies or opportunists seize on them.
We stand firm and honest and look them eye to eye and make sure we strive always to be better. I hope our enemies do the same.

Don’t know what’s wrong with me but I’m really cross with England here.
2AM doesn’t help but come on!
Good bowling conditions, Very good execution from NZ and another toss lost but this performance again and that’s the key bit again; drops below the line for me.

I’ve a shocking memory and possibly 4am overtired delirium setting in but within the context of everything going on around him; this is most extraordinary sublime innings I’ve seen from Brook.
