Really wish our fanbase didn't go into a complete state of panic every time a team sheet comes out

Trump and Farage both have a cult like following. And yes you can to a certain extent apply the same to some figures on the left but I don't think it's at the same scale. Look at the response to the Farage school stuff. Just not prepared to accept it could possibly have happened, making every...

We've also go the problem that there's not a huge number of candidates to replace these players. System is an absolute mess. You've got players like Smeed bypassing red ball completely (although he'd reversed that decision for next season, think he thought he'd be in the England side and...

It's always been a bucket list thing for me to go to the Ashes in Australia but imagine spending thousands, if not tens of thousands, and then they perform like this.

Don't bring facts into the politics thread

GB News claims they are an entertainment channel not a news channel to avoid scrutiny from Ofcom so why should Starmer and Reeves go on there?

Aussies had their team playing Shield cricket, even pulled players out of white ball internationals to prep properly

Which one of you was that on the TV :ROFLMAO:

Nobody expects them to be practicing 24/7 but it's the optics of the thing. The way Stokes responds to questions and the way they think they're above criticism. He was interviewed by Athers before the first test for Sky and spoke to him like he was a nobody who didn't have a clue what he was...

This is it. It's one thing to go out there with an average England side against a rampant Aussie side and at least put up a fight but this isn't acceptable. We went into this with our best chance of winning in Australia in years. We've build everything up to this, even forced Jimmy to 'retire'...

Probably already got their tee times booked. At least Stokes can give another interview about how shit and cold and depressing it is in England this time of year so they're going to go out and have fun after the loss.

Thinking of you Houch and hoping you get some good news. Pretty clear from your posts on her over the years how much she means to you.

I will take the blame. Sat down to have a nice morning watching and two wickets immediately

Netflix have announced they are buying Warner Bros for $83bn. That includes HBO and HBO Max. Wonder if that means next years launch of HBO Max will be sacked off and they'll merge the programming in with Netflix. They've could do 'channels' similar to Disney+ with Netflix, HBO, DC and WWE...

Its not doing the basics that drives you mad. That's 5 drops now, you aren't beating Australia with that. Interesting stat from CricViz "England's pacers have taken 3-33 at 11.0 average with deliveries hitting stumps compared to 3-298 at 99.3 average with deliveries missing the stumps". You...

Think officially it takes a week or two as everyone involved has to sign off on the minutes being published. Unofficially you might get some bits and pieces from Pete.

Desperately needed those couple of wickets. do England have it in them to tear through the tail? If we can and limit them to a lead of around 100 that would be a success from where we were. But then relies on some sensible batting from us in the 2nd innings.

This game would be a lot fairer if Australia would try and hit every ball out the ground and throw half their wickets away

I'm sure Trumps targeting of Somalians has absolutely nothing to do with his weird obsession with Ilhan Omar, the representative for Minnesota. Must just be coincidence that she happens to have been born in Somalia.
