Abhay: "Declared? If this was gully cricket, Jimmy Anderson would be distraught. Waited all day to get his hands on his bat and then this monstrosity! "
Stephen: "After my comment earlier about the bazball drinking game, I can confirm I have gone through 2 slabs of beer and half way through a bottle of scotch. Won't be working tomorrow"

Naman: "Bazball is a double edged sword. Eng leave opponents with too much time to make their play. Could backfire against strong batting sides- Aus and Ind" Well it could... but most swords of any worth are double-edged. Got to get value for your backhand after all...
