    What we learned from the 4th test

    Marnus averaged 60 odd at one point too mate. It's very early days for both of them. They'll get found out during the Ashes out here, all Englishmen do. At best they, like Root by the time he finishes, will end up averaging mid-high 40s. Which is fine, it puts them in the very good category, or...

    Wouldn’t know mate, sorry 👀

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

    England posters: Crawley has played well against Aus in the past so you should fear him Also England posters: Root might have been dog **** in Australia for over a decade, but this time for sure.

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

    He should definitely play the whole Ashes series too

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

    This is good intel tbh

    What we learned from the 4th test

    I would dearly love to see England’s line up batting on the pitches served up in the recent West Indies-Aus series

    Haha indeed. WAC he is. Seriously

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

    That’s not really the drama though is it? It’s more how they carried on afterwards that’s seen it blow up

    The great value of threads like this is inevitably fans of the same team who take a different view on the issue at hand or just don’t like each other start scrapping and often end up banned.

    Yeah he did. Tbf though Hick absolutely meandered through the 80s and 90s in that knock against a background of England wanting to chase a win. I think Atherton absolutely did the right thing. It wasn’t as though he pulled the pin on him without giving the chance of getting to three figures

    Iirc Atherton was setting up a declaration to go for a win in a series which was still (miraculously) live after Dean Headley’s heroics at Melbourne the week before. At least I think it was that tour

    In this case they’re justified and his request should be acceded to.

    Yeah but you have to remember he’s English

    You need to seriously think about out how potentially awful the upcoming Ashes series might be if certain posters are still active come November. Will send my list through in the next couple of days so the mods can get to work.

    Yeah it’s not so much the offering of the draw as the way they carried on afterwards tbh. Lot of sportspeople have glass jaws when things don’t go their way. These guys are no different

    mundane sightings of high profile non cricket sportspeople

    Not a real world sighting, but this is quite an interaction given the final scoreline on Friday night

    So much insecurity in the England team. The way it manifests itself at the slightest head wind is instructive.

    lol mate, you're struggling to put them away on your own dung heap. I'd be holding off on the early crow tbh.

    Indeed

    Brook was probably more likely to get a wicket than Dawson tbh
