    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.

    He married a chick who was video taped rooting a Rugby player in a public toilet - I doubt anything would embarrass Warner.

    wtf

    Candice Warner has had previous high-profile relationships with sporting stars such as Braith Anasta, Matt Henjak, Matt Poole, Jacob Connelly, Brent Staker, Anderson, David Carney and Marcos Baghdatis. She was also in a brief relationship with British comedian David Walliams. She is also known for a "toilet tryst" with rugby superstar Sonny Bill Williams. In 2007, she was captured on a mobile phone camera getting the back end smashed out of her by Williams and Don Burke at the Clovelly Hotel. She was seen with another Bulldogs player, Ben Roberts, at a Kings Cross nightclub three hours afterward.

    That was what showed Smith isn't a captains arsehole

    I was at the gym watching the shit on the idiot box with no sound down

    But the field placings and tactics were ****ing garbage

    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.

    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.

    Root was terrible the whole series.

    and now with Andersons one good spell.
    with Broads one good spell.
    and with Cooks one good innings, hes stuck with the same bunch of hacks for the foreseeable future.


    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?

    To any Pom whingers about pitch "fixing" - I point to Leeds 1972 and Cardiff 2009.

    They have fixed the pitches since 2005

    An English cricket wicket is green and has movement off the pitch

    They stopped producing them as we had better bowlers Lee McGrath Gillespie etc to exploit the condition they did

    They tried the rough abrasive stuff for the reverse swing in 2005 and it worked

    They have stuck with it ever since

    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
