    Moral Victories

    i was all in on the india moral 5-0 this series however going in to the decider and recalling nair and plodsidh and not playing kuldeep means at this point i don’t see how they can escape this match with anything more than a moral draw

    What we learned from the 4th test

    it’s funny when making this post i thought to myself “hey wait didn’t they declare and lose one? better peep it and check” and read the wikipedia page for the entire series wire to wire and still obliviously missed that yes that did happen. bodes great regarding my memory and foresight but...

    **Official** South Africa in Australia T20s/ODIs Tour 2025

    english posters couldn’t survive the australian domestic posting circuit. the conditions are just too harsh and only the best of the best make it to the international level

    Offical Rugby League Thread

    the problem with the raiders is that they randomly switch off every game for forty minutes they've clawed their way back into several games in a row now from tenuous or losing positions but it's not a good look for a top four team to be in hot water in consecutive weeks against the knights...

    What we learned from the 4th test

    i agree that the concept of "retaining" the ashes is kind of goofy, but yes, this post is unequivocally correct - australia's performances in england have been much better than england's performances here but it's disappointing it hasn't been enough to win a series outright. part of it goes to...

    What we learned from the 4th test

    you mean the match which ended in a draw and ended england's hopes of reclaiming the ashes because australia's bowlers had already taken the 40 wickets that they needed to ensure that even a bit of rain in any of the last three tests guaranteed the ashes would return to our shores?

    *Official* India tour of England 2025 General Discussion

    not dissimilar to india's last series here either really

    What we learned from the 4th test

    while this is unequivocally true, and i also agree with a point made by someone earlier (i think it may have been LnL) that tons are a bit silly of a metric in that there's no substantive difference between making 99 and 101 in terms of contribution to result, a list of players who have a ton in...

    England begging for a draw, Manchester, 27th July 2025

    even if you think it's a bit of a misunderstanding, you surely can understand that indian posters may feel a bit uncomfortable with your comment that stokes gave "them" a chance to exercise "their" "biological hatred of everything english", without specifying who "they" are or any more details...

    5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

    oh nah i mean for tests yeah (i'm on the record as saying that i'd take a million mambas before i take one Junction Oval though so i note that)

    5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

    the pitches that we've been rolling out for tests have been consistently excellent on average for a while now too which helps

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    darkly funny that of the last three ashes down under tours the johnson ashes was arguably the closest one

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    that’d help your guys get ready for australia tbf and it would play to stokes and archer’s strengths but it would feel so strange for england to become renowned for pitches like that!

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    no way that’s genuine floppery grow up and roll out better pitches if you don’t want jadeja to dogwalk your bowling on day five
