Game Day Ashes 3rd Test. Big Ben vs Opera House, whingy Poms vs glorious Aussies. Lets secure the Ashes here.

[Dinsdale]

Should be a good start to the match, with the poms still whinging about runout-gate after an amazing last days play.

No Nathan Lyon, so Todd Murphy will play.

This is a no footy-shitfight thread

 

[Triggering Tiger]

Lose you whinging pommy bastards!

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Fatty Bairstow to stuff up with the bat and drop critical catches and leak heaps of byes.

 

[Sqotty from office works]

Too late Davy to get a not needed 175

 

[Dinsdale]

hmm, interesting XI announced by the sooks, named 5 bowlers.

Poms:
1 Zak Crawley, 2 Ben Duckett, 3 Harry Brook, 4 Joe Root, 5 Jonny Bairstow (wk), 6 Ben Stokes (capt), 7 Moeen Ali, 8 Chris Woakes, 9 Ollie Robinson, 10 Stuart Broad, 11 Mark Wood

Aus:
Murphy in for Lyon
Boland in for Hazelwood?

All guns set to blaze as England enter Bazball's last-chance saloon

Ensures Thug Stokes does not have to bowl. Woakes is no quicker than Slobbo. Wood will give our mob a workout, but their attack is rubbish.

 

[Drunkcat]

Green top mite be a short game this one.

 

[JoseMourinho]

Todd Murphy won't need those glasses with Bairstow.

I would have Boland in for Hazlewood.

Cheeky beer brewed for whinging Poms after cricket loss

Beer giant CUB has created a cheeky pint for England’s cricket team after they bitterly refused to have a beer with the Aussies following the controversial Ashes Test win.

The only thing more glorious than smashing the Poms again would be smashing them while a few controversial calls fall our way.

 

[spudmaster]

I'm concerned about the darn weather over there at the moment. Matches on Wimbledon's outside courts are constantly being suspended due to the weather the past few days - hoping it clears up and stays away as I'm all-aboard the 5-0 whitewash train now.

Bazball lol ! Love it

England Demands ‘One Hand One Bounce’ Rule for Third Test — The Shovel

After being surprised that saying ‘Wicky Leave’ before leaving your crease is not a real thing in international cricket, the English cricket team have demanded that the full range of backyard cricket rules be adopted for the next test match, starting at Headingley on Thursday.

I wanna see Bairstow get hit in the cods

I wanna see Bairstow get hit in the cods

He probably doesn't have any.

 

[Mofra]

I want Carey to take a ping at the stumps after the first ball of England's innings.

Please please please

 

[Mr Blicavs]

Gauranteed Bairstow tries to run someone out (again) the same way Carey ran him out.... Aussies better be on their ties.

He’ll miss

 

[Mr Blicavs]

He’ll miss

He always does....

 

[Mr Blicavs]

Do it...

 

[Footy Is The Win]

I hope Bairstow tries this and gives away overthrows
