Who was the gobshite who ducked on the last ball of the NZ innings?

Lord’s is a shit venue and the crowd was full of corporates
The Oval, Edgbaston and even Headingley are much more atmospheric venues
Lords is a grand spot.
Not sure why lads are hopping up and down about the rules of cricket. They’ve always been arcane. Feel sorry for new Zealand, a great side in every sense of the word.
Lords is the most beautiful sporting venue I have been at. It’s streets ahead of the Oval, which I have also attended numerous times ( I think the number might be 3 ). I haven’t attended Edgbaston or Headingley.

Headingly is a benidorm like dump in a grey Leeds suburb.
Never been to Edgebaston.
The press pavilion at Lords is perfect architecture.

Martin McGuinness was a huge fan of the England cricket team. He was a cricketing purist though, test cricket his clear preference.
Nice to win the pajama stuff but the serious business of winning back the Ashes starts now.
