5th test the oval


Not heard that story but if true its good that the level of respect goes on
Yes it was all over the news. Was Root, Lyon and a few others. Still wearing their kit drinking on the roof bar.

Brilliant Test cricket. Sadly all over for the summer though and it's not even August. Having said that, maybe having the Tests so close together helped with the drama and ebb and flow.

So many more sets of eyes on it had it been played in August and up against the PL. June/ July should be the future of test cricket in this country imo, especially ones without men’s footy tournaments.
 
We know it, the Aussies know it, every cricket fan knows it! If the weather hadn't saved them this series was ours!
Tbf they were absolutely pissing that run chase today until the weather intervened so works both ways that like.

I highly doubt they’re arsed anyway.

They’ll put our bait up over there
 
I’m hoping there are streams knocking about for the 50 over Durham games and I’m going to get my butt to the freebie match on the 11th August

never know summer may have started by then
 
Some thin-skinned Aussies about on social media tonight. They absolutely hate losing to us. Someone earlier kicking off cos someone called them boring. 7 off 82 balls or whatever it was, 70 odd overs in a day, constant changing of gloves/bat's even in the first few minutes after walking out after lunch, deliberate time wasting, negative field placings on the first day of a game. It's difficult to think of anything else to call them tbh.
