    I’ve just watched Geoff Boycott on an Ashes preview this morning.

    The poor man doesn’t look well at all. He’s had multiple cancer scares & his voice is all but unrecognisable now.

    I met David Boon at Edgbaston in 1989.

    The opposite in real life of his public persona - a real gentleman.

    Imperative the top 3 score big runs if we are to have any chance this Winter.

    We can’t keep sending Root in at 30-3.
