A bad Test Match is still better than a good t20/ODI. Not because of Test Cricket’s “rich tapestry”, or the “ebb and flow” of the game or any of that gubbins. It’s just that there’s cricket on for eight hours every day for five days and I like when there’s cricket on.

One run per over is such a huge gap. Draw that out over a day and it’s 90 runs!
73 if you’re batting against Pat Cummins’s Australia.
With Ben Stokes as captain, England have scored at 4.66rpo.
That's an entire run-per-over quicker than the next fastest side, Steve Waugh's Australia (3.66rpo).

England lost their spinner and their number three, two huge roles in a cricket team, and twice-retired Mo stepped up to both roles with a fair chance of failure. He contributed some important moments and ended well. Really nice way for him to go out too.
Reluctant to go down this route, but I also hope it stings and then mends the ways of the bad faith actors that dog whistled Mo for engagement on social media to see him succeed against the odds and to note how warmly he’s received by his teammates
