Disagree, ever tried having a serious cricket debate with an Indian? FMD they honestly think Sachin and Kohli are better than Bradman.

Yeah Smith takes the catch and we win easily.
They had all the good batting conditions and we were a bit of luck away from thrashing them.

Should of said “We’ll if you pricks don’t start giving us a challenge we might have to to even things up a bit“cummins reply to the 'can we expect any underarm deliveries' question was a cracker
'well, depends on how flat the pitches are'
Looking forward to England following this

Cricket owes much of its appeal and enjoyment to the fact that it should be played not only according to the Laws, but also within the Spirit of Cricket. The major responsibility for ensuring fair play rests with the captains, but extends to all players, match officials and, especially in junior cricket, teachers, coaches and parents.
Respect is central to the Spirit of Cricket.
Respect your captain, team-mates, opponents and the authority of the umpires.
Play hard and play fair.
Accept the umpire’s decision.
Create a positive atmosphere by your own conduct, and encourage others to do likewise.
Show self-discipline, even when things go against you.
Congratulate the opposition on their successes, and enjoy those of your own team.
Thank the officials and your opposition at the end of the match, whatever the result.
Cricket is an exciting game that encourages leadership, friendship and teamwork, which brings together people from different nationalities, cultures and religions, especially when played within the Spirit of Cricket.

Trump would be proud of the English supporters they are going full on MAGA. Delusional cult members who think everything they do is right and everyone else is wrong, moronic chants, bazball is the English MAGA.

Pretty sure they will soon be former members. Which is a victory in and of itself.

The thing that finally swayed me with the Bairstow wicket was he never looked back. If he had done so he would have clearly seen the ball was still live and in play.
Sure as shit if he was looking backwards and seen Carey keep and instantly throw the ball at the stumps he would have grounded his bat uncontroversially, end of the over or otherwise.
It doesn't sit 100 percent with me, and I wouldn't like getting out in the same circumstances myself, but I'm comfortable with it (just).

That's what happens when England doctor the pitches to roll out flat roads that make it very hard to get anyone out with normal pace bowling. We also lost our spinner who I think would have cleaned them up on day 5, and they decided not to pick one.

It’s reached George Costanza levels of ‘Opposite’
Found this one
I never liked seeing batters hit by short pitched stuff, but when it happened to Broad, I couldn't have cared less.
They started the short stuff, we will finish it.
We bowl at 145klm, they can barely make 130k.
Bring it on yoy precious pommy whingers.
