When travelling around Austria & Slovakia, I was struck that on not a single occasion I encountered someone playing music without headphones on a train. The only time I saw someone get ticked on a train was a member of staff admonishing someone for having their feet on the seat.

@Cricket1973J England are not a better ODI side than NZ. They're not even particularly close. None of the last CWC, World Rankings or recent results suggest England are better.

@SridipP @jfwduffield @Scott_Button12 Yes. Both played the majority of their careers in the most batting friendly period in ODI history. Plunkett was the highest middle over wicket taker in a cycle where bowling teams frequently lost control in that period. Woakes' economy under 5.5 is also exceptional given that.

@jfwduffield @Scott_Button12 England bowled exceptionally well in the 2019 CWC & in Woakes & Plunkett had two of the finest bowlers of that generation. England's bowlers were consistently successful in stopping other team's batsmen do what ours did to them. Think that's an underrated aspect of Morgan's side.

@Scott_Button12 I totally agree. Bayliss & Morgan understood ODI cricket. Top order hundreds win you games in the format, England used to make a lot of them.

Jamie Overton has been fine with the ball in England colours. But he should only be in the side if he is deemed one of our best bowlers & bats 8 or below. Hitting quick 20s in T20 franchise leagues does not make him an ODI 7 & the England side looks unbalanced with him there.

@VbBv47 @FranceRugby La gestion du jeu fait la différence entre les équipes de l’hémisphère Nord et celles de l’hémisphère Sud. L'Afrique du Sud est la meilleure au monde à la fin des matchs, comme la France et l'Angleterre le savent depuis la Coupe du Monde.

India are an incredible white ball side. Far too good for England, who they've flattened once again in a bilateral series. The younger players all immediately look comfortable at this level. Can see them basically winning the lot over the next decade.

That Rohit six over long on against Wood is absolutely sensational.

@VbBv47 @FranceRugby L'Angleterre n'a pas su gérer les fins de matches. Les défaites contre la Nouvelle-Zélande, l'Australie, l'année dernière contre la France lors des matches de l'Angleterre étaient en tête. Hier, c'était une exception.

@QwentyJ @kanyewest This has nicely split Twitter between those whose first reaction was Van Dijk & those whose was the Augustan Roman poet.

There's absolutely no way this could go horribly wrong. A totally foolproof idea in the nation that gave us "Boaty McBoatface".

@jfwduffield "Human tights lawyers".

@Boskeyswag Probably very bad. Although in T20Is England's record v Australia would be better. I think the only white ball bilateral series England have won against India in the last decade was the 2018 series.

You've got to feel for India. They've been sensational across both white ball formats. Younger players have stood & put in matchwinning performances. Sadly, it's on TnT so none of it counts.

@nickfshort I'll let you know when I'm next down. Sadly (or not given how last season went) Surrey are only coming to Taunton in the Blast & not the Championship this year. I'm sure I'll find an excuse to make the trip though!

@cas_rasen Yeah the Scotland game is the one I've marked for a while. No disgrace in losing to Ireland or France. Would be poor to lose to either Italy or Wales. Will all hinge on ending Scotland's four year Calcutta Cup winning streak.

@QwentyJ Think a lot of the Reform surge is genuine, but it's hard for insurgent parties to maintain momentum. Farage parties are good at the air war in the media but less good at the ground war i.e. activist infrastructure to turn support into seats, which the Lib Dems now excel at.
