His new Lions offensive coordinator, Joe Lombardi, discovered after watching film of Stafford that he is “not an interception machine.” At times, Stafford himself probably felt that he was.

But still, there were times for sure that Stafford felt pretty awful....

If either star batsman struggles for runs, it is liable to damage their team’s prospects and add to the pressure that confronts most captains in an Ashes series....
