4th test Manchester

I absolutely hate him. No idea when to shut up as well. Boring, bitter bastard.
I generally in the past have watched more than listened to the Ashes. But by good this series he has been insufferable pretentious arsehole. He has absolutely zero input of any credibility or insight. It’s just waffle. Again McGrath and Ponting are absolute weapons when they are up against it but offer something in terms of knowledge
 

You’ll literally argue about anything
Reported me the other day after trolling me for months and months. I feel special.

Anyway, putting Ali in has made the Aussies change their bowling strategy. We just need to keep chipping away and wearing them down.

I'm working, so had to listen basically all series, he makes me want to turn it off. As you say, McGrath is really good IMO.
 
His job isn't to face balls, it's get a quick score on the board and put the bowlers on the back foot. Stokes has said so himself.

Also, 37.21 is the average for an opener in England test history. So I don't think his averages this summer is too far from that - and he's playing a fantastic bowling attack.
And that's worked really well...
 
Tell you what mind, both Crawley and Ali want to stick the lottery on this weekend with the luck they’ve both had this innings.
