There have been individuals/teams/eras that have changed the game in Test cricket for others to follow. India began to sow the seeds but England have taken it to another level. ‘Teams may be better than us but they won’t be braver than us’. Stokes/McCullum ❤️ Warney’s loving it

Boxing
Jake Paul’s fight with Tommy Fury seemed to be off again.
Fury’s received a termination notice. MVP did everything it could 2 help him & team. He wasn’t interested & he literally went into hiding.
2nd time in a row he has pulled out.
2nd time in a row I’m going to step up & take on a new opponent on short notice. AUG 6. MSG.
