we getting done now. catches win matches
Note the classy way Cook celebrated his ton compared to the bogan "look at me" show Warner puts on.
To be fair, Warner generally scores centuries that have some meaning. Cook would have looked a bit of a goose celebrating like warner when the series was already lost.
The sole reason I can't stand Warner is because of that celebration - it isn't necessary to carry on like a pork chop no matter what the situation.
Cook has much more on the line in this test then Warner does, like his spot in his team. Cook looked relieved yet personified class, Warner was saved from embarrassment by a few mils from being done on 99 to a debutant bowler than carried on like the arrogant twat he is 1 ball later.Quote:

Fair enough if Broad comes out and plays a great knock but reality was we gave him the runs by the shit tactics they employed
When he come in Australia were well in the game by the time he got out the only way England are losing this is if Aussies bat well and the Poms collapse on a biblical scale
which probably ain't going to happen as the pitch is that slow they ain't going to score quick enough to erase the defecit and get 250+ in front
It was actually pretty abysmal captaincy from Smith. Bloke may be a great batsmen but his captaincy is right up there with Ponting for being a shit captain
We had some good ones in the last 30 years
Border Waugh Clarke and Taylor as far as captains went were top shelf
Smith and Ponting have been the only below average ones
I rest my case - I wouldn't put my willy anywhere where Carney's has been.Quote:

Apologies to foz member that has.
Some good bowling from Woakes today.
ROF @ Candace Warner Wiki page. The genius that added Don Burke into the mix and the phrase "getting the back end smashed out of her by Williams and Don Burke at the Clovelly Hotel" should get an OAM.
If Smith's captaincy was poor then you got to marvel at Roots gutless display
Should have declared when Broad was out the other night
Would have given them 30 mins to bowl at the Aussies but he neglected it by being a coward
Then he didn't even have the balls to declare at stumps and got punished when they lasted 1 ball the next day
Then with a 170 run lead instead of setting attacking fields he sets the most mind numbing defensive fields and tries to bore Australia out
To only get 4 wickets in about 4/5 sessions of play is down to him
Glad to see his negative shit tactics were not rewarded
this is good cricket talk.Quote:

also, ive not seen anything of Moeen Ali before, but by god hes honking. exactly what is he in the team for? cant bat or bowl. was he taking Stokes' spot or he in the team 24/7?
Dead wicket big sh1t. Some pasty poms were having a cry yet they dont mind creating swinging pitches to suit themselves every time.
Most aussies did well not to collapse which happens more often than not.
I thought Woakes bowled well only to later find out they'd gouged the cherry to make it reverse. Was any action taken or did they sweep it under the carpet?
Sweet **** all
You ain't going to get pulled up on that in these times
To any Pom whingers about pitch "fixing" - I point to Leeds 1972 and Cardiff 2009.
They have fixed the pitches since 2005Quote:

Then you watch cricket on Fox in winter from England and you don't see these dry abrasive pitches on day 1 like you get in the Ashes
What you see is green English wickets for the Indians Windies Pakis Kiwis etc
Same wickets I would like to see Hazelwood Cummins etc on in 2019
Fat chance it happening as we have better bowlers than them for those type of conditions
Exactly...and they openly admit it. Yet any pitch overseas deemed not suitable to their attack is deemed "poor".
WRONG. Smith goes pretty well even with a below par team and his batting is worthy in any era.Quote:

two overs to go and i thought it was going to be england's day. not now. root looked shattered, which i can understand but he doesn't get any sympathy from me!
dumb cricket. two overs to go, new ball, don't hit anything that isn't going to hit the stumps, and if you do have to hit it, play it with a dead bat.
looking at some tvs over at the tv place watching the wickets fall on the 82". See the grimace on Root's face, priceless.Quote:

So, what was the go with Marcus Crane continually running in and then not releasing the ball? I saw at one stage on day 2 (i think) he did it 3 balls in a row!? As a batsman that's off-putting surely!
Was he cautioned by the umpires?
That is that.
Enjoying the burn on BBC Sport live feed.
* Apparently England should have won in Adelaide and drawn Brisbane.
* This game should be a draw because it has been two days over 40 degrees and tennis stops at 40 degrees.
* Australia is a poor side but England played worse.
* The pitches are too flat.
* Too much short bowling.
* They should use Dukes balls here to even things up.
* Lyon can't bowl to right handers.
* England should pick more Muslim players!
Not only did they call for play stopping due to the heat but they actually said England should hang on for predicted showers later today.
He was just having problems with his run upQuote:

Said it really ****ed with his head
How soft is Joe Root ??
Remember when Graham Smith came out to bat with a broken arm and faced Mitch Johnson with one arm ??
That's courage
This bloke dogged it when his team needed him as he had the shits
FMD take some Immodium and literally garden the **** up you soft cunce
We're in different times - it's all about player "welfare".
Smith, John Sattler, Rick McCosker, Beckenbauer all have memorable moments playing in pain.
New age physios drag people off now more or less to avoid being held accountable if something goes wrong.
I aware we in different times and cunce are soft todayQuote:

Yeah it was a hot day but there ain't been many reports of issues with the Barmy Army in the heat
Only 1 of 22 players went down in those conditions
Good thing is Root is just a soft **** and it will be great ammo for the Aussies to sledge him in future
so you know he got hit with gastro right? nothing better than seeing a players pants turn more and more brown in the name of entertainment.

If you aren’t prepared to poop your pants for your country then you need to leave.
