 I am going to ignore politics today

Football

Spain deservedly won the euro championship. This young side won it pretty easily playing the beautiful game as it should. The second goal was a masterpiece in how to score and crush your opponent.

They are a young side so they should get better which is scary for other sides particularly those playing in the copa america!

Jimmy Anderson

Those in charge have made the decision that Jimmy Anderson will not be part of the England team. Quite clearly he was never going to Australia. To be honest he has not been playing well over the last two seasons. Against australia he appeared to have lost his ability to swing the ball.If that was the case he has recovered it now. His very last wicket was classic Anderson. A very good outswinger which the basman nicked to the wicket keeper.

That being the case I would always have anderson around with tests in England.

He is quite clearly the best fast medium swing bowler I have ever seen. A batsman can usually spot when a bowler is bowling outswingers or inswingers. Outswingers require a side-on action whilst in-swingers requires a more open action. Anderson was able to hide this better than any other bowler I have seen.

It was a good week for sport.
