Well it was, but be brighter than to use the term “has beens” if you don’t want it to come across as a slight. The tone of the overall piece is ok, but that is clumsy language.

I think that was a dig at Botham, who has become the worst in my day merchant since Fred Trueman.

Let’s hope it’s just minor tightness in the hamstring.

I don’t see England winning either, I think it will all come down to the bowling, if this Aussie attack has another series in it then we are in trouble….the intrigue is whether any of them go over the edge towards the retirement home….Cummins is the youngster of that batch with Hazlewood / Lyon / Starc / Boland.  Englands attack on the other hand could be anything, we might come home with new heroes or we might look like a bunch of net bowlers throwing down half volleys to Smith for the whole series.
