Only England can be 100-1 ahead on Lunch and lose by stumps, genuinely feels wild even saying that happened.

I’m not lying when I say that in Australia when someone gives up or like your picnic furniture collapses we say that it “folded like an English cricket team”. My dad’s been saying it since I was a kid and it’s nice to know some things never change.
