Butcher (who is great btw) has just called it the Birmingham City End. Good God Almighty, see how it ends?
The stadium announcer calls it Birmingham end which is bollocks. It should be City End.

Apparently, on TMS, Ramps suggested naming it after an ex-player……Ian Bell

It's as if Birmingham is at that end only, fuck off. The City is that end, Brum is all around.

They're both all around. Birmingham is a city.

When Broad is good he’s unplayable, When he’s bad he’s awful. 35 runs off an over when bowling at numbers 10 & 11 is shocking.

Just smashed the previous record by 7 runs as well.

Per Zaltz……

There have been over 700,000 overs in Test cricket and that was the most runs scored off any of them…….by 7

Just the runs off Bumrah’s bat alone broke the previous record

Wow……

Crawley failed again. Why do they keep selecting him?

The problem with Crawley is he’s just not showing that he’s going to come out the other side of this.

It's the same dismissal time after time and he's just not learning.

Top order continues be a major problem. With our tail we can’t keep relying on super human efforts from the middle order.

The more chances he drops the more chances he gets to make amends it seems.
