The summer of test cricket - Ashes 2023

[Swanjaxs]

Weird reaction by the Aussies especially considering they won the first game and the second is it Lord’s where they traditionally do well. Robinson has clearly got under their skin. Which is quite funny really given the mouthing of the Aussies always do. All part of the fun.

In between crying like babies when they get caught out :lol: :lol:

Well exactly. Big tough Aussie blokes they are until someone gives the same back or they get rumbled.

I still believe their invention of the insult 'whinging Poms' (which is admittedly funny) is the most hypocritical insult a nation has ever invented for another...

Sounds familiar actually to another South African cricketer who represented England. Give it out all day long, but when it came back, different story.

Has there ever been a sporting institution that has churned out so many d*ckheads, at such consistency as the Saes Cricket?

He’ll go for six an over.

 

[Risc]

He’ll go for six an over.

That's the risk but could also take wickets against reckless batting.

Jonny Bairstow is Mitchell Starc's bunny !!

If Mitch says jump, Ed asks how high.

That's par nowadays under Stokes and McCullum :lol:

They’ll probably stick with Boland anyway. Daft to change a winning team if you don’t have to.

He could come in for Josh Hazlewood.
