I know this may not be popular, but I can't stand Ian Chappell

I can see why some people don't like him. Is there anything specific that you don't like.

His personality.

I know he has a wealth of knowledge, and some old war stories, but I can't stand listening to him.

Good partnership from Root and Malan.

I think he is probably a prick of a bloke but I don't mind listening to him about cricket.

Why don't you guys switch over to Fox? It's nothing but incredible insights and professionalism over there.

You have to love test cricket. The game now has the potential to slip away from us. We will need to bowl well tomorrow

Yep, I don't know about our batting lineup chasing down anything more than 150.

The pitch is looking pretty good still. Not cracking.

Apparently it's rained a lot and it hasn't dried out.

Historically as you say it's tough.

Well done to England for making it a contest with little prep and a few big injuries.

Root is a star.

Root is a star.

Has scored over 1400 runs this year - pretty good effort

Stokes gone and now England are 6 down with a 12 run deficit.

James Brayshaw made a deal at the crossroads.

Terrible human, terrible commentator, gets plum gigs all year round.

(Wallace Shawn voice) inconceivable.
