What happened to Test Match Special?

[Burney]

So what???? As you often point out, Test matches are the purest form of cricket, we have 5 days to win the game so why should he try and score quicker than he has, especially as his place has been under threat wd kj

His place is under threat because he's no fùcking good against the moving ball in testing conditions. The ability to make incredibly tedious hundreds against nothing attacks in South Asia has no bearing on that whatsoever. He is a very limited batsman and this innings stands as testimony to that fact.

The point that it was an intensely dreary innings and wholly without aesthetic merit stands.

I thought you enjoyed the mind numbing boredom of test cricket, this should be right up your corridor of uncertainty

I'm afraid that the issue is that there are few alternatives. Who is this Burns chap? Seemed to get tied in knots by a middling spinner.
