Bowling/fielding Gary! Nathan Lyon. Nicknamed Gary after some unknown none cricketing Australian sportsman called Gary Lyon.

Thanks chaps.

 

I thought those convicts called him the goat ?

I shall feel rather sheepish now...

 

Anyway, as we said the other day......fuck em, the Vinegar Tits bastards.

I don't feel for "Gaz", might buy him a pint though, should I ever get the opportunity.

Save your money mate, the cunt would only drop it

 

Just to put ‘Gary’ in context. Before the Ashes Test of 2017-18 he talked about ending the careers  of the England players. That last over may have ended his. What goes around and all that. Are you watching Ken, Kenneth, Mr. Anderson, cunt?

I really dislike him

mind, I don’t like many of them

Yep. I was in Aus. For the last 2 Tests that series and he did come across as an arrogant sort. Having said  that, watching him out in the field, he did show some signs of being slightly sportsmanlike, only slightly though.

He's a decent bowler in fairness.

But, as said above, if you act the cunt, eventually, it bites back.

 

 

So then chaps, thoughts on the remaining two matches ?

Will our victory damage those lot or not ?

Have we got under their skin knowing one or two can fight when needed at last ?

Archer v Smith could clinch it, Smith won’t be relishing facing Jofra again in a hurry.

As much as I love the guy, Jos Buttler has to be dropped now, keep him for the one dayers.

That’s a good shout re Lyth, he deserves another chance.

 

On second thoughts, Could always bring in James Vince for a zillionth time

Denly is a better Vince

It was a very late night for us. I work with 4 'Poms' (and 9 Aussies) and we all have bloodshot eys this moring - along with fucking massive grins 

The Aussies have been dishing it out since Edgbaston and, as you might expect, the lack of a remaining review is in sharp focus down here - it actually makes it all the sweeter for me as they whine a lot louder - so you can probably imagine what they are like now. Some ducked for cover, others proclaiming "We wuz robbed".

Oh for a victory in the fourth test. Would make the fifth absolute compelling viewing (more late nights!). Funny feeling this series wil be remembered as the Ben Stokes Ashes Series. What a fucking hero. No doubt the gutter press who pilloried him for the nightclub incident will be falling at his feet now the lowlife bastards.

 Astonishing 

That 27 in 7 (6, 2, 1, 4, 6, 6, 2) was fantastic to watch

Made me chuckle how he wouldn't watch when Leach was facing. Equally watching a telling the ball to clear the boundary fielder.

For an emotional guy, he's really learned to control himself, and manage the innings very well.

As for the remainder of the series, not sure the issues will go away because of it, equally, not sure a big change will solve them. Maybe best to let the side carry on together. At least for now.

I can go with the same players (except Jimmy to come in), but not Roy to open.

Aye, A few been saying Roy down the order a bit, where he normally plays.

My concern for Jimmy, is the lack of proper senior cricket for him to test himself, prior to the test.

Cheers. Heard a bit on sports extra earlier this morning, but had to stop to go walking the hounds and raiding damson bushes.

Will listen later.👍

Glen McGrath, elephant murderer, says Australia deserved to win.

not much evidence to support.

5-0 looking a tad iffy n all

You could hear it in his voice during commentary. Fine to be disappointed, but his bitterness was audible.

Sack the fucker.

Anderson out of the series

Anderson out of the series

.... and he is the ONLY Anderson I’ll be missing

I fear it is the end of the career of the most amazing bowler I have ever seen

i recall the scrawny kid at old Trafford in his early years

always looked as miserable as sin

till he shattered the stumps

amazing career, total dedication

Arise Sir James Anderson
