London, July 11 (Ians) Former captain Geoffrey Boycott wants England management to take a strong decision and drop Jonny Bairstow from the playing XI for the fourth Ashes Test to be played at Old Trafford, starting from July 19, saying that the wicket-keeper batter has been “a shadow of his best”
Bairstow, who made his comeback after a long injury layoff, has dropped six catches in the Ashes 2023 so far, including Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne at Headingley. With the bat, aside from his first innings score in the Edgbaston Test of 78, Bairstow has registered scores of 20, 16, 10, 12 and five.
“England took a calculated gamble and it hasn’t worked. In three Tests he has dropped catches, missed a stumping and can’t score any runs. It is very sad and outwardly he may show he is upbeat and full of exuberance, but when you fail on the big stage in the full...

London, June 28 (Ians) Legendary opener Geoffrey Boycott believes that if England’s motto in the ongoing Ashes is to just entertain the crowds in various stadiums, then they can just well be a circus instead of a cricket team aiming to win a series.
Ahead of the Lord’s Test starting from Wednesday, England are 1-0 down in the five-game series after a two-wicket defeat to Australia in a thrilling first Test at Edgbaston.
Captain Ben Stokes was criticised by various experts for his surprise declaration on day one’s play in the first Test.
“When you get ahead of yourself — and that’s what England did — they stopped thinking. If you’re going to just entertain, they might as well be a circus. That’s it, go be a professional circus around the world.
If you ask people in England ‘Do you want to win the Ashes, or do...

Documentarian Michael Moore is joining the nationwide boycott of pharmacy chain Walgreens following its refusal to sell abortion pills in 21 states.
Moore announced his support for access to Fda-approved pill mifepristone amid Walgreens adhering to Republican state attorney generals’ threats of legal action if the pharmacy chain made the pill accessible in their respective states, even if by mail, under the Comstack Act of 1873 banning the transportation of “obscene items” in the postal service.
Moore wrote on his website that Walgreens “caved in to threats from the extremist anti-abortion/Forced Birth movement” amid the overturn of Roe v. Wade.
“This decision by Walgreens to further cement women’s status as second-class citizens must be met forcefully by each and every one of us,” Moore said. “Every day of our silence since last Thursday is another day of you and I enabling this bigotry and misogyny.”
Moore continued, “Please join...

London, Aug 21 (Ians) Legendary England cricketer Geoffrey Boycott has issued an ominous warning to Ben Stokes’ Test side following their innings defeat against South Africa, saying they won’t stand a chance of winning the Ashes next year at home if they dish out a similar display against Australia.
In one of the most scathing attacks on the home team following their innings and 12-run debacle at Lord’s in the opening Test against Dean Elgar’s South Africa, the former opener indicated that the visitors had completely deflated England following their run of four consecutive Test wins against New Zealand and India.
England could not stand up to the fiery pace of Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje as the duo picked up match figures of 7/79 and 6/110 respectively, and Boycott felt that with the Australian seam attack boasting of the likes of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood, it...
