@NedStarksGhost Nice. If you want specifics about my involvement: I wrote songs 1 and 6 and also play keys on 2 and 10 and helped arrange vocal harmonies for the bonus track

@Voltan awesome work, man! I enjoyed The Crossroads one quite a bit.

@Voltan Well done man, remember us when you are rich and famous!

@JohnnyShoulder lol, sure

@Voltan enjoying those sweet sweet songwriting royalties;

@Thrillho that looks about right

@Thrillho Have you been following the second test against India? I went to the final day today, and while it isn't over yet, it isn't looking great, hopefully we can bat for a draw.

JC, it’s monsoon season again… ⛈⛈⛈

@TheBrandedSwordsman I don' think it took long after your post for the latest England batting collapse! Utterly woeful. Root must be absolutely furious!

@Voltan late to the party but well done man... that's pretty amazing! 👏

@Thrillho Yeah Buttler did well to stay in as long as he did though eh? Made it interesting, now if only he could have stayed in until the end eh? Root said something an interview afterwards like his "tactics didn't pay off" this time or he used the "wrong tactics" or something, what do you think about that?

@TheBrandedSwordsman I didn’t see the match but it sounds bizarre to be bowling all sorts of nonsense to tailenders with a field set up to stop boundaries. Against what should have been rubbish tailenders, it seems obvious to be bowling at the stumps with an aggressive field to get them out.

Root has always been a bit of an average captain but luckily has kept his batting up. I don’t know who else could do it though as there’s not really anyone else who is guaranteed to be in the team!

Maybe we should do like the Aussies did with Warner and have someone like Roy or Morgan open; at least it would be fun to watch rather than Burns and Sibley timidly/tentatively try to get double figures!

@TheBrandedSwordsman Don’t know if you’ve seen this doing the rounds online;

@Voltan Had a listen to the album and it's sick. I really enjoyed it and will definitely be listening to it regularly. You guys should be super proud of what you've created, it's amazing.

@Thrillho Yeah Root is excellent at batting, he got 180 runs in the first innings against India, it's just a shame that he collapsed after 33 in the second innings, that diagram is a great and amusing representation of England's batting, but yeah, I think that people have been saying the current first eleven makes for great visual cricket even if they don't perform to to outstanding standards!

@Thrillho Also, yes, I completely agree with you, we should have treated them like they were batsmen (the tailenders) to get them out effectively rather than allowing them to get record-setting fifties and whatnot.

@Voltan Late to the party like @colonelkilgore but hey, congrats and rock on!

@Thrillho Joe Root’s the Odsonne Édouard of cricket 😂😂

@TheBrandedSwordsman I don’t know if you caught The Hundred game tonight but Livingstone just got 92 off 40 balls including 10 6s.

It also included this absolutely cult moment in the stands..

@Voltan Also late, but wanted to also say great job! I’ve got it queued up on Spotify as well, and I’ll give it a listen. Hopefully you get royalties per stream so I’ll try to add a few shekels to your success by listening.
