They didn’t have DRS back then

I’ve got the brains, you’ve got the looks. Let’s make lots of money.

He’s good crack when it comes to cricket but he’s a backward gammon cunt. If his knighthood gets blocked he’ll be absolutely apoplectic because it’s the sort of thing that really matters to him.

Nothing new. John Hall got his for being a Tory donor

I see Cameron, the pisstaking cunt, has a book out.

Same team for the final test. 😂

Incredible that they’ve somehow managed to get progressively worse as well

Yeah I said a while ago on here and Gemmill reiterated it recently that loads of people think no deal is an end point rather than it just being the start of negotiations with our bargaining power greatly diminished.

We batted for quite a long time in this match. A big factor in the series is how parsimonious (as Jeremy Coney would say) the Aussie quicks have been. It was a definite tactic and one of the reasons Starc couldn’t get in the side earlier. If you look at the type of batsman we have you’d expect us to have scored something closer to 400 in the first innings but throughout the series scoring at more than 3 an over has been difficult. I also thought the attitude in the second innings from Roy and Bairstow was good. It was their technical issues that let them down. Also can anyone tell me what the fuck the ECB was doing letting the likes of Bancroft and Labuschagne play in the county championship? I agree more focus should be on the test side. The one day side getting priority with World Cup being here has been justified with our winning it but what most England fans care most about is test and, in particular, The Ashes. T20 is where the money is though and where’s the incentive for producing proper test batsmen? Also, the world’s best players used to play in the CC. Not any more though so the standard isn’t there and players struggle to step up

Best team won

Or he’s not being honest

He’s took his caravan. I shit thee not 😂

Tooj is up there for the start/finish

They might have something up their sleeve but equally you could imagine Johnson just saying we’re definitely coming out on that date because that’s been his position all along and there’s not a lot else he can say at this point. He’s winged it his whole life so it’s not like he should behave any different now he’s way out of his depth.

Hope so

The chancellor on the Beeb again this morning being largely unchallenged when spouting the same old shit. A prime example being that everyone, no matter how they voted in the referendum, just wants us to get on with leaving quickly. Does anyone know a Remainer who feels that way? I’d love to see the polling evidence behind that statement

In other words you’ve been and you loved it and you wore a flat cap

And don’t get me fucking started about his captaincy. Why didn’t Archer and Broad bowl straight after tea?

I don’t think Root did get a snorter. Look at where he plays the ball. Not for the first time in the series he’s made a good ball look a lot better by barely getting out of his crease to one where he should be playing forward which makes a huge difference when you’re dealing in such small margins. Any movement in the air or off the pitch is therefore exaggerated. Totally agree about Australia being the side deserving of victory though. The only test we deserved to win was the drawn one. Stokes’ incredible innings papered over the cracks. It’s a good Aussie side though, even allowing for some brittle batting

Subtlety perfected right there

There’s a Peaky Blinders Bar in Tynemouth apparently

That action

I just heard Abdul Qadir has died absolutely magical bowler and part of the Pakistan team that gave England a beating in 1987
