Crab paste. Fook!

Lock up your daughters

He was going on about the drinking culture there a while back and how he wasn't at all surprised by the Johnson revelations. Said something along the lines of it would be reported more but for the fact no one outside the area is interested in what goes on there.

The opponent was ranked in the WBA's top 10 Mind, there are hardly any professional heavyweight boxers. BoxRec only has about 1,200 registered and that bloke Flintoff beat is ranked about 350th in the world. Could you imagine a rank amateur taking up tennis for a few months and taking on the world number 350? They'd struggle to win a point.

So that means you can't, you fuckwit

Who told you this? Thor Templar?

Ooh, aren't you so controversial?

Think he's took 5 wickets in a spell, rather than just an innings, on 5 or 6 occasions now. Particularly impressive when the match was in the balance like on Saturday.

He's dreamy

Like shelling peas

And there's Root's 100 as well.

Blowers' outfit today btw: pure class

Where's she taking you?

CT will be all over that. It'll go with his 80% off Lonsdale hoodie.

Hope we avoid the follow on

:lol: There's no accounting for taste I suppose

Well they use half a ball I believe which is probably a generous margin of error given the technology is constantly improving and so on but you have to have a standard and I also the players, officials etc. need to have confidence in it. I think it's generally accepted it's more accurate than that margin of error though.

Think we've shown a bit of fight and spirit of late which also goes a long way. As the mackems have shown in recent years.

He bought Mitrovic rather than Austin because he gambled on a better potential return on the investment with the former

There's a margin of error in the technology being used so it makes perfect sense to side with the umpire if it's a marginal call. It's predicting where the ball would've gone so it's not like goal line technology which is demonstrating where it did go. The umpire's pride doesn't come into it as far as I can see. The biggest 'flaw', if you like, is that it's only used if both countries agree upon it, because the ICC is in India's pocket.

Aye, I tend to think playing well and losing is a bad sign rather than cause for optimism.

Aye, I would agree with that. I think a few pundits (like Vaughan) have been saying it for a while. Seems very unfair at times
