Pakistan have such a dirty reputation Dettol have had to step in to sponsor.
 
Meh , this series means very little in all honesty. Poms are playing a team of youngsters with many senior players resting or carrying injuries like Butler, Duckett, Stokes, Wood, Crawley, Woakes & Brook plus up and coming stars like Atkinson & Smith. Having this series 1 day after they played in a test match is ludicrous scheduling and is the reason these games are becoming a real waste of time. Matches between Australia & England were always seen as great contests but these days they all become a bit bland and forgotten about quickly. Its why cricket is really struggling to draw the interest of many people it once did. The ICU and cricket boards have a lot to do with it with the crazy scheduling 🤦‍♂️🤔

Are they serious? I've laughed at them along with everyone else but they're so delusional it's starting to frustrate me. It's like when you poke fun at someone for being delusional/shameless about something, but they don't actually understand the underlying intention precisely because they're so delusional/shameless about things, and it takes the sting out of your jibe. Much enjoyment in being able to taunt depends on the receiver's ability to feel shame, and it appears the English cricket team feels none

They are the Rayguns of cricket in that way.

Just remember you are taking one for the team looking after the kid, no talk of getting to watch the cricket.
"no, you sleep, ill go sit with her and do absoultely nothing else"
 

“Chasing 271 for victory, England's top-order collapsed to 65-5 against a rampant Australian attack as Ben Duckett (32) and Liam Livingstone (0) were removed in successive deliveries.”

Oh England, never change

What's the self-entitled score? 3-0 Britain?
