I'm no Pep but that looked like it came down to game management again like the first test. Fine margins.

One thing I will say, and without an invitation to do so, is fucking cheating Australian cunts. Always have been, always will be. Truly the Germans of cricket. Insufferable set of cunts.

I seem to recall these fuckers bowling under arm once upon a time, to stop the opponents scoring a run off the last ball to win. Was it Chappel? Unsporting nation

It's a Stokes team. Root's a good player but lacks the mental fortitude and stones to get to the very top. He's a serial loser when the going gets tough.

Maximum respect to Anderson and Broad, but no winning Ashes team should have 2 seamers aged 37 and 41. It's scary how poor this team would be without the rudder of Stokes.

Pretty much agree with all of this. I'm sure we all concur Root is the far superior batsman and the best in England by some margin. You don't get to being ranked number one in the world by chance, but it's always Stokes you want in those high pressure situations. For how good Root is he should be seeing us home more often and be going really big with scores. The lack of conversions of 50s to 100s early on his career echo those sentiments. Very elegant player to watch but wish he'd have a bit more Steve Waugh type dog in him.

Agree about the bowlers too. Problem is at Headingley one of then might get a 5 for and then they want to carry on another 12 months. Neither of them have set the world alight when not in favourable English conditions. Time to move on I think.

He’s only got to wait till the ball is thrown back to the next fielder from the keeper or the umpire calls over and he can walk around as much as he likes as the ball is dead

Problem is / was he does it a lot,as was shown on tv after,maybe he won't make the same mistake again,but nonetheless it was a cunts trick which can always be expected by them,renowned as cheats,and not at all renowned as being sportsmanship people.

He should know better then . He’s got the Jordan Pickfords about him and if he doesn’t learn from this he’s a twat. He wouldn’t do it if he was facing Lyon , a spinner

I get what you are saying,regarding if Lyon was bowling,but Carey would have no need to throw at wickets as he would be stood right on them if a spinner was bowling,and the ball is "dead" a lot sooner.

It's one of them we could go on about all night,but yup I agree if he doesn't learn from it he is a twat,but will not be a big a twat as any of them in baggy green caps are.
