Anthony Joshua has enjoyed a great boxing career. But he has dodged big fights with Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder, and come up short when it mattered. If the Dubois bout is the end, there will always be a sense of what might have been, says Hugo Timms buff.ly/47CaMUu

@CaribCricket How many in the current WI team are playing County in England?

On top of fundamental technique development, with West Indian batting there are of course further basic issues that also hinder us: 1. Our FC season for the past 3 years has been 5 games (plus A-Team tours), not enough to truly develop if you primarily play red-ball cricket 2. Lack of opportunities outside of the Caribbean to hone craft in diff conditions 3. Slow pitches in Caribbean that make it even more difficult when we do go to Australia etc

@HamishSpence17 I agree - he seems unlikely to get the boot now. What's the old expression - the only thing harder getting into the Australian test side is getting dropped from it? - I wonder if he could stay and replace Murphy with Green...

@hwctimms Reckon they were hoping to just get Warner through this series ahead of his Test career swan song this summer. Don't mind the idea of Green for Warner and moving Head to opener, but historically they've stuck by him. Looking forward to more observations in the future!

Some Ashes observations for my vast legions of followers:

And... 31 isn’t old for a test cricketer, and Mitch Marsh is too talented and entertaining not play again. A recrudescence of his test career, like Khawaja did, is very easy to envisage

Because the "spirit of the game" is a nebulous, convenient part of the game, to be applied whenever it suits someone, it is best to stay simple and play by the laws of the game.
