Apparently he's said there's no reason why he can't play until he's 40!
I think he's just getting better and better, he really is an incredible athlete, but also has amazing hunger to just want to play cricket and take wickets!

The longer he plays, the better, because I feel for the guy who has to step into those shoes.

According to some stats I've just seen he's averaging around about 22 for the last 8 seasons. World class by anyone's standards

Think he's averaged under 15 this summer as well!
I'd like to see him retained as a bowling coach when he calls it a day, he has so much skill and knowledge that can be passed on. I'm not too worried for the future of our bowling attack. Broad, Woakes, Stokes and TRJ is a very capable seam attack that has a lot of class. Not to mention the likes of Finn etc that are waiting in the wings. We will never have another king of swing quite like him though!

Excellent session for England, after losing Cook at 2-1 to go in to lunch day 1 at the Gabba 59-1 is brilliant.

A better first day than England might have dared to hope for at The Gabba. Great knocks by Stoneman and, especially, Vince - although, at stumps, you would have to say that it is anybody's match... and England really need to end up posting around 350, so plenty of work still to be done.
Absorbing stuff, so far!

Honours even after day 1.
Will all depend on first session tomorrow. England need to post 350ish to put the Aussies under a little pressure. 400 would be brilliant. But........... can see them rolling over for 250 or so if they aren't careful. Looks like a long tail to bat to me.
Australia looked focused. Only 1 no ball and 1 bye.
Absorbing.

Stayed up until 1am to listen to news of Malan and and Moeen going along rather nicely. Went to bed thinking that 400 was eminently achievable. Woke up to learn that England had just scraped 300!
Great, initial salvage work by the bowlers, mind. Really need to get rid of Steve Smith early doors tonight, mind...
Still very evenly poised. Tremendous Test Cricket.

So far, it's very even. Fantastic test cricket, despite the fact these are not two teams full of megastars. Good to see England's three wobbly-looking batsmen all getting some runs, and to find out that the Aussie fast bowlers are not actually as quick as they says they are...
Hope it stays so competitive throughout the series!

We have bowled brilliantly this morning. Smith still remains though so early wickets after lunch needed!

All gone very flat since lunch... this Smith & Cummins partnership has stopped us in our tracks.

Looks like being all over by lunch tomorrow.
Having a certain player missing didn't help.
