Think I'll knock one off in his honour later one

Aye, that looks fucking terrible like. Totally changes my view as I think that's bang out of order irrespective of the provocation. People have been killed by a punch like that last one that sparks the kid out. He's canny lucky that's the only one that connected properly.

They all look the same

That's what I assumed like

Yeah, I think we definitely could do with something different. I suspect Broad might not be the bowler he was. It's all angled in a la Defrietas now, rather than being able to swing it away. Anderson will struggle too I think. (Re: Finn I meant two tours ago as well rather than series which makes it even worse).

I'll take two of those, please

Shame when you think Finn broke through two Ashes series ago and looked like he was going to be a star and still hasn't become an England regular.

Aye, ludicrous decision to take him last time round. Boyd Rankin went as well.

Especially now cheap food isn't an option

FFS as plain as day and he still needs it spelling out

You only need to look at the WWII debts we only recently finished paying to the US to see how 'special' that relationship is

Wonder what Chez would make of that. Talk about torn loyalties

Already has tbh, hence the reason he's on here for pure wummery. The more that state of things emerges the easier the chomps are

Since Australia last won in England in 2001 ( ) every series bar one has been won by the home team.

He was dead off-hand with the fans and the club well before we went down as well. We were treated as a vehicle for getting him right for the World Cup so it's appropriate that tournament basically finished his career and, with him being on England duty, meant that we got compensation from the FA. The little cunt. Ant and I used to argue about him and Martins with me being in Owen's camp and him in Martins' and we basically both came round to the same way of thinking, i.e. them both being pisstaking wastes of space.

Leeds had 3 years down there. That would be nice

As has been said before on here his apparent disdain for our fans was obviously intentional given how media savvy he was / is

I'd be happy for 51% of them to lose their own lives

There's not much between the top 6 test teams. You'd pretty much bet on all of them to win at home and lose away in a 4 or 5 test series against any of the others. I appreciate Pakistan don't play 'at home' before some larrikin points that out.

If he could find more consistency then Moeen. It's an issue of self-belief with him and his bowling. They'll go after him this winter too.

There were mitigating factors but saying we're not near their level is an absurd attempt at wummery

Funny because Swann reckons Moeen is one of the most naturally gifted spinners he's seen in recent years but he lacks the self belief. You'd have to have Lyon ahead of him though. The latter's turned into a genuinely class off-spinner.

They don't want Brexit either so there'll be an escape route until the last possible moment.

The most racist and xenophobic amongst the Brexit lot are the same ones who think the rest of the world should love us though

Both been injured I think
