[dumb]

time to catch my breath and replenish the pile of spare underwear

 

[cows]

Time for the comedy to begin

 

[The King!]

surely we cant lose

Smith oversaw a systematic cheating plan, Stokes was found not guilty by a court of law.

So comparable, like apples and oranges.

When you start making people think you are an idiot, it's a better idea to leave them just thinking that, than proving it true, like you are doing here.

 

[A Pom]

That was a lie as the lack of evidenc in court showed, stokes did however call a bouncer a ****** which people seem to ignore.

What was a lie? The gay couple stated themselves they were being subject to homophobic abuse. Also worth noting the bouncer got ruled out as a reliable witness when he got caught lying during the hearing by the judge.

 

[cows]

For the record I'd be opening with Siddle and Cummins

 

[frankrizzo]

I’m guessing it’s because of superstition, they didn’t want to move until Stokes got his hundred then they needed time to get changed. Notice they were all in tracksuits when he got the ton, then went and got changed before the declaration

Either that or the plan was always declare at the drinks break.

systematic? he wasn't lance Armstrong

 

[SSwans2011]

You say it as if the bloke he knocked hadn't shown he was an aggressive thug who hadn't shown he was going to continue being an aggressor no matter what happened.

Stop justifying assault. There's better ways to diffuse a situation than potentially killing a bloke. There's no excuse anymore. We know the potential consequences when you go to knock someone out.

Yup.
They're just trying to justify their hypocritical viewpoint.

How do you stop a homophobic thug who's already tried to assault someone with a weapon and went on to show they were happy to obtain themselves another weapon and continue fighting even after being knocked out/to the ground?

 

[Whiskers]

Backing Bancroft to use up plenty of deliveries. That’s his strength.
48 overs though, don’t need to use up that many.
Thanks Root nice and conservative.

 

[ams4crows]

If warner is out within 5 overs he needs to be dropped next match

 

[Donnie Darko]

Chances are , they will hold and draw.
But if we let Archer loose on them for afew overs it might give us a major advantage for the 3rd test .

 

[eddiesmith]

Except there has been a test match at Lords since the World Cup Final Tubby...

You mean like how you flogs used mints for an entire series?

 

[Visions]

So what you’re saying is that he was in the right to cowardly king hit someone else!

 

[Frank Gallagher]

I'd give Warner licence to go berserk.

 

[k31th]

Tubby thinking that the declaration was a good one in terms of not being too conservative haha that's a laugh

 

[Rich the babe Evans]

Sound reasoning.

Bit mean to call the Aussie team under Smith flogs...

 

[Coasters7]

Absolutely no evidence Smith was involved other than as captain he took the fall for his players being involved. There’s clear as day vision of Stokes king hitting a defenceless bloke and only being found not guilty because of his status.

Saliva is legal, sandpaper and whatever Davey had on his hands prior is not...

 

[The King!]

good chance to get a nice 50 not out warner
