Yeah listening to the Ashes on TMS was bloody torture tbh.
As for Joe root's conversion rate it just got worse and worse - yes the lad averages over 53 in tests but he gets 50 after 50 without hardly ever converting them to tons - it's a big worry and compare him to Steve Smith - who does just that and is second only to The Don in his batting average at an incredible 63.75 with 100's falling out of his arse.
Perhaps I am being unfair but I think giving the captaincy to Joe was far too early and is affecting him badly.
Selby out in a triple crown event in the first round again in The Masters after the UK debacle - bloody awful season for the World champ so far. I thought that he was the only one to stop O'Scummivan (who has been awesome recently) from winning his 8th masters and 6th World title but it looks like Mark is just too out of form (even though he played well against Williams today).
Joshua to meet Parker in a world heavyweight unification fight in Cardiff in March. Anthony should win - but he needs to shift some serious weight in my opinion - modern day heavyweight behemoths are just too massive and it affects their stamina severely.
The big future Superfight this year is of course Wilder and I would love Anthony to KTFO the yank but it's almost a pick 'em contest - I do think Joshua will stop him late though but time will tell.
