Worth saying if the dew comes down like that for the next two games it's win the toss win the game territory.

Got to say that's a really shoddy couple of overs from Joseph. Just had no control at all and it's probably cost the game. #indvwi

That is complete dross from Joseph. The bowling plan from WI seems to be hoping India hit one up in the air. #indvwi

Seems a poor fit for a T20 side, Shamar Joseph. Scattergun and the pace on a ground this size is a gift to work with. #indvwi

Karthik commentating on India games is transparent fanboy stuff. Calling players by first names, saying "Team India", all creates an impression of easy matey familiarity rather than actual analysis. #indvWI

Buttler may well retire after this tournament but the idea he should be dropped is completely insane. #engvnz

BBC live text trying to retire out greatest ever white ball batter I see. Absolutely no hope for them. #t20

Not sure how you play Matt Henry in this sort of rhythm. So hard to get away. #t20WC

When will somebody explain to Manchester man that it's poor form to keep your backpack on on the tram.

Alcaraz hasn't turned up at all so far. Needs to get his arse in gear. #ausopen

Jim Hulbert @jimhulbert.bsky.social · 06/01/2026

Say it quietly, but Smith hasn't been the same player since he became a father during the NZ tour. That was when his form started to turn in a big way. I can absolutely see how it's happened. Is he getting the support he needs? #ashes

Jim Hulbert @jimhulbert.bsky.social · 06/01/2026

On this evidence seems pretty clear why England have been reluctant to pick Potts the last few years. #ashes

Jim Hulbert @jimhulbert.bsky.social · 04/01/2026

Bethell hitting a lot of fielders here. It's the same when he plays white ball. It's currently the biggest issue in his game for me- doesn't turn the strike over enough. #ashes

Jim Hulbert @jimhulbert.bsky.social · 04/01/2026

This should be the last game Rob Hatch ever commentates on. He must be the least informed and most casual commentator ever employed. Clearly knows absolutely fuck all about the game. #ashes

Jim Hulbert @jimhulbert.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

Absolutely ridiculous. Well played son. Could win 10 in a row if he wants. #thedarts

This darts is incredible but the utter choppers booing Van Veen should be kicked out.

Reminder that this idea of it being a stag do in Noosa has been entirely confected by Shemilt at the BBC to the extent that Darren Lehmann has called it complete nonsense. So what if Ben Duckett got pissed and some sad acts filmed him? #ashes

Jim Hulbert @jimhulbert.bsky.social · 07/12/2025

Seeing lots of chat about Archer in below the line comments. A) about the nonsense pillow story in the aus press and B) about his gold chain. This is quite obviously racially charged and should be called out. Eng fans are fucking mouth breathers sometimes. #ashes

Jim Hulbert @jimhulbert.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

Also looks increasingly like the decision to drop Lyon and play Neser was the right one. Spin not really playing a role so far and the extra batting far more useful. I guess England would likely have played Overton here had he been on the tour. #ashes

Jim Hulbert @jimhulbert.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

Contributions all the way down the card from Australia. Backed up by brilliant fielding, even with only one good bowler, you aren't going to lose many games. #ashes

Jim Hulbert @jimhulbert.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

Pretty grim this. We've bowled far, far worse than we've batted. This is not a 260/3 pitch. #ashes

This is unlike George in it's glibness. Yeah, just play as well as the world's best. Easy ffs

Jim Hulbert @jimhulbert.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

Some very simple people suggesting our whole team should simply bat like the best player that's ever lived. If only it was that easy. #ashes

Jim Hulbert @jimhulbert.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

England are getting stuck here. We have to keep looking to score or we will be all out 240. #ashes

It's going to boil traditionalist piss in a very enjoyable way when Harry Brook is England Test captain. #ashes

Jim Hulbert @jimhulbert.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

Probably controversial on Bluesky, but this clearly needs doing, for economic and social reasons just as much as politics. There are clearly issues that need looking into.

Boland quietly in the middle of a good spell here. #ashes

The way commentators talk about Brook infuriates me every time. He is one of the best batters in the world. And this is how he plays.

Pinched this video from @cjsnowdon.bsky.social on Twitter because Bluesky has to see it. Nothing can prepare you for the punchline here.

The BBC live text yet again incredibly unfair on Crawley. That's a really good innings. These people seem to think innings should only be ended by balls of the century. #ashes

The cherry on the cake is mispronouncing Neser's name. Fucking disappear Rob Hatch. This is a basic stuff.

Alastair Eykyn confidently telling viewers Starc is taking a break and Green is coming on, when in fact Starc has just finished his over and Boland is taking a break. I don't know what they're being paid, but it's too much. #ashes

No that's not *your* on *our behalf*. Your job is to report the story, presenting all sides fairly and then *we* call it. What Mason is saying here is fundamentally not what the bbc is for! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Chris Mason is not a columnist. He's there to report. There are conflicting views on what Reeves said and meant and I actually think it's pretty outrageous what he's saying here. That's not his job at all.

Indeed. This is not the BBC's job and to make it worse, in the same piece, Chris Mason again lurches into opinion and gives government carte blanche when he absolutely should not have!

Objectively quite funny seeing a lot of pretty wealthy journalists crying about the pension salary sacrifice changes. £2k a year is... Perfectly reasonable?

Can't take five tests of hatch. Take the hint TNT and fuck him off.
