Tests

Test Cricket, it’s over between us. I’m sorry to do the Gen Z thing and break the news to you online, but you’re not coming round to my place in Sydney till January and I just can’t wait till then.

Yeah Pup, I don't know if I can be stuffed going out there either.

At the risk of going all George Costanza, it’s not you, it’s me, OK? You’re still the same quirky, fascinating form of the game you’ve always been. But I’ve moved on.

I’m a different person with different priorities these days, TC. The kids, the job. The desire to indulge in a little physical activity myself occasionally instead of just watching you for five days. It all leaves so little time for you.
