Remember the 77/78 season playing them in the cup at our place. Drew 1-1 then trudged over to Loftus Road on the Monday night for the replay, yes kids, it really did work like that,replaying after 48 hours. Anyway, it was an absolutely hellish night, it was fucking sheeting it down and the away end ...

Cheers Zeek.

This is classic WHO madness. Only on here.
Reminds me of the old days.

Nobody is FORCED to listen to Barton, all his work is on pods. This has all the hallmarks of people love being offended so they can start there witchunts. Got a question for those piling in on Barton. Would you rather get called a bike nonce or know that someone has pornagrachic images on their devi...

Yea can see that. Crawley's two knocks in Brisbane may have bought him some whereas Pope begging to get given out every time he goes out to bat.

MA Should we lose in Adelaide, i'd play Bethell at Melbourne and Sydney. No point holding him back once the series has gone. Crawley has had ample opportunities to make himsef undropable but he clearly lacks something.  Think throwing Bethell in at Adelaide while there is still the slenderest of cha...

I keep hearing that Crawley has been persevered with because his style of batting suits Australian conditions.  If this is the case, then surely if the 3rd test is lost, it'll be time to say,' the experiment failed, off ya trot Zak go earn a shilling in franchise cricket' No point keeping him on if ...

I have no feelings for Barton either way, he makes some good and fair points and he also talks a lot of shit. But how the fuck does a judge see fit to hand him the same sentence as Huw Edwards?

We are no longer a joke country, we're a parody of a nation.

Yea, thats fair, Broad was still very much an integral part of the set up just 18 months ago.

Absolutely loved Broad as a bowler, no one has given more while wearing an England shirt. But as a pundit/podcaster he is piss poor. All his mates are still part of the England set up and he finds it almost impossible to speak hard truths about the performances so far. His loyalty is commendable but...

Only seen a highlights package but that was enough to suggest that VAR just doesn't work. No way in any world you care to mention was their goal valid, this is exactly the kind of Incident that VAR is supposed to clear up. Fucking shambolic and we have every right to feel aggrieved this evening.

Stick to Cricket

Heretics

Ruthless variety

I've always said that the reason for all those tears from Smith and Warner was because they got caught, not through any sense of shame. And yes, Bancroft was fed to the media in an effort to deflect some blame away from himself ( Smith).  I wonder if he thinks it was worthwhile now. In many people's...

Thursday gave a little hope so for that reason I'm thinking we could get another draw, maybe sneak a win. Think we have to accept that staying in this division for another season is going to be a fight, hope we have the stomach for it.

This isn't a dig at the Aussies but let's face it,they have yet to win a test match in this series. They have been gifted 2 victories through sheer negligence which borders on outrageous arrogance. 2 down with three to play and we will have to work fucking hard not to suffer a 5-0 spanking. Mcullum ...

Anyone else think that MARNUS bears a resemblance to that banjo plucking, porch dwelling cսnt from ' Deliverance' ?

Jack's gone.

7 down now.

Yep  the starting gun has been fired and FDS is well and truely up and running.

Both Stokes and Jack's are scoring at 1 run for every 3 balls faced. Where was this level of discipline in the three previous innings?

Tak.

I keep hearing from current players that Cricket has changed and some of these old timers are stuck in the past. The one thing that will NEVER change is that unless you play with 'cricket common sense,' you'll get nowhere.

Well an innings defeat has been avoided but the only thing that will fill yesterday's ( and Perths) cracks is a repeat of Headingly 81.  Be the biggest shock in cricket history if it gets even close to happening. I listened to a few cricket podcasts yesterday and all the pundits/ex pros said the sam...

Guess it was inevitable that the left have ditched TDS and replaced it with FDS. 

I suppose Nige should take it as a compliment.
If they weren't so terrified of him, they'd simply ignore him.

Anyone know if Cummins will resume the captaincy upon his return or will they carry on with 60 grit Smith?
