Careful, you shouldn't criticise Botham online. I criticised him on Twitter once and he set his Twitter follower army on me.

That's nothing. Try criticising One Direction on Twitter.

I'm amazed 8 year olds know those methods of torture.

Seriously.

Does he still smoke pot?

2 overs bolwed and it's gone a quarter past the hour. That took forever for Stokes to get out to the middle.

Has Hazelwood been the pick of the bowlers?

Would have preferred Roots wicket, looks like he could cause some serious damage here.

Yep it's one thing when it's the bowlers fault, but when the batsmen are not out on time it's just ludicrous and I don't meen the band.
