In the game ?

At least Bairstow caught him, only a slight problem in that he didn't hit it.

Smith's had bazball flakes for lunch (the cheating twat).

Shame about the slips. Got to take those chances, Root's was tough but fucking Cameron Green would have snaffled it.

I reckon Ashby is nailed on for a loan out, if we'd had deeper cover last season reckon he'd already have been out on loan back then.

Best rule of thumb seems to be, if it’s in the press as “interested in”, “liked” or some such, it ain’t happening and the less said about ITK’s the better.

It was a very canny game, result predictable though, although admit I was surprised England got so close on 1st innings to make it as close as it was.

Christ on a bike, Moeen not fit enough so they bring in Mark Wood, oh no! that's not right, Josh Tongue

Did she turn you down ?

I would think, the hardest thing to adjust to must be the ever present threat of Orcs though, surely ?

Stottie Hawaybia to give it it’s full geographical name.

Isn’t Wagner blokey Putin’s lapdog, he’s probably after the MoD leadership, scapegoat them for Ukraine and Putin re-elected next year. St Petersberg mafia (Putin/Wagner) v Moscow mafia (Shiogu/MoD) Like the Erdogan fake coup playbook. Either way, nice to see the strife. Edit - or maybe not Putin just called him out….

So he's not a good fit for us, he's more suited to a team that play like .............................................. erm us. Arseholes everywhere !!

I wouldn't either, but that's a given as I never bet. I retired from betting after being in the Monkseaton Arms with Dan one Saturday and the barman (mate's son) came over and said Jack Hixon had been in (as was his habit) and told him he should have bet on one of Shearers horses that was running that day, I went to put his bet on for him and me and Dan had tenner each on it, it came in at 50-1. Quit while ahead.

Never thought I'd cheer on a punter but he's a paddy-mag https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/american-football/65974949

FYP p.s. - It's not arguable, it's a nailed on certainty

Was on 5 year fixed at 2.31% ends this month, have fixed again at 4.9% for 2 years (as opposed to 7.9% on variable), Nearly done anyway, thankfully, and will be downsizing at some point.

Aye but them round doors cost a fucking fortune.

Makes good points

He'll hit you with a Gif for that comment !!!!

He is a bona fide arsehole

Take control of the ICC away from Indian billionaires would be a start.

Exactly, most series I can simply enjoy "the cricket" but do like to win, but this one as you said it's the Ashes against the bloody Aussies who have two proven cheats, who should never have played again, in their midst. Any level of contentment from an entertaining loss does not exist for me.
