smoking a bit of weed and shagging around hardly makes beefy a renegade.

Being a Reform voter probably does

Always enjoyed him squaring up to Chappelli in the carpark with an ale though. Bitter old Aussie sod still can't let it go.

The 90s had Hick, Atherton, Stewart, Thorpe and Gooch/Gatting. They had Caddick and Gough. They had little else. It's a very similar tale.

Agree with Stokes getting the toss wrong a bit though I can think of one in Pakistan and one in New Zealand in recent memory.

Smith was good as well.

The Aussies annihilated that team time after time. Gooch was the only really consistent batter there. As soon as he was out the rest invariably crumbled.
Watching Fraser/ Pringle/ Defreitas getting smashed all over by Steve Waugh was enough to kill any enthusiasm in cricket for a generation.

Most of that was as much due to everyone being out there for themselves as much as Australia being a lot better talent wise. A lot can be said for how McCullum is trying to galvanise the side.

Yep stood up to an arrogant bully and made him fill his kecks there, great stuff

I absolutely loved the judge

You seen the video from a year or two back where a TV show tried to get them back together to sort out their differences? Chappell wouldn't have it, it was bloody embarrassing for the old man, I know Botham's quite the boomer these days with his political views but he seemed to genuinely want to bury the hatchet.

I have, Chappell couldn't even make eye contact

RIP Syd Lawrence, gone aged 61.
A wholehearted performer and a good fella.

These two are doing a good repair job.
A century from Brook and a fifty from Smith would be just the job.

I'd have been pretty happy to go in at 160 so that'll do.

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Good recoveries from England. Previous sides had a tendency to collapse in these situations.

Be interesting to see if Bumrah plays all 5 tests, the other bowlers will need to improve if he doesn't

He did an interview with sky before play today and it sounds like he will play either 3 or 4 matches, but not 5.
