Police have now passed the file over to the CPS, so they believe enough info for him to bé done.

Looking like game over for the Ashes.

Lol, flew all that way for fuck all.

5-0 this series. England bottle jobs

England look like an absolute shambles. From Stokes to Bairstow and Root moaning about the Aussies laughing off the Bairstow incident. Anderson moaning at a press conference in Oz about the type of bowling they're facing - they look really weak and that's not how you want to come across when playing in Australia..

The only thing that can save this tour is the fact this test is a day/nighter. If we lose here we'll lose 5-0.

Odds of 8/13 for Australia to win this test seems like buying money on the face of it, but I also think it’s reflective of the fact that Australia aren’t all that either. It could well go south for us from here and end up 5-0 but if that happens against this Aussie team it would be even more disappointing than the battering we received over there last time out. On that occasion, the issues in the England team were worse than they are this time round plus I feel that Australian team was slightly better than this one.

As you say, this day/night test ought to suit England and Perth tends to be swing-friendly so there is some hope.

because they don't need a complaint. they only need evidence of a crime or wrong doing.

Pretty much, but even if in the unlikely event we win it, I still can't see past 4-1 anyway.

 

[mccity]

I reckon we might be able to draw at least one so that we can avoid the whitewash. Cook scoring double digits would be a good help too

 

[mccity]

Rain delay! We have a chance!


edit: nevermind that didn't last long

 

[mccity]

What a hilarious run out. Probably wouldn't have happened either if Ali didn't let that slip!

 

[jay_mcfc]

England better pray for a lot of rain. Sticking them in was seriously dumb.

 

[Lancet Fluke]

Overton makes Jake Ball look ferocious.

 

[waspish]

Our bowlers are fucking shite on flat Pitchers no discipline bad bowl after bad ball 4 or 5 nil series defeat on the cards.

 

[M18CTID]

Just woke up and checked the score. Scrap what I said earlier. And winning the toss but putting them in? Is Root trying to emulate Nasser back in 2002 ffs?

 

[Lancet Fluke]

86-2 Warner caught behind off Woakes. Need to get a couple of quick wickets here and it could be game on.

 

[M18CTID]

Warner gone - we have a glimmer of hope!

 

[mccity]

I wouldn't be surprised if somehow Smith went early and then the mid and tail batsmen wreck us anyway.

 

[kippaxwarrior]

Think its the right time for Jimmy to bowl as its dusk and this pink ball starts to swing and sometimes keeps low. Its weird how the ball reacts in these conditions

 

[kippaxwarrior]

Terrible drop that by Stoneman. Cant shell catches like that if you want to beat the convicts

 

[jay_mcfc]

England just don't have the firepower to run through them in Aussie conditions. Again we're sticking around and making it competitive but that's not going to result in wins.
