Re: The Ashes - 2017/2018
I'd agree with him either way. One side is playing better at the moment in their own conditions - can't deny that.

Re: The Ashes - 2017/2018
typical cheating poms...doctoring the ball on 2 occasions during the morning sessions.....

What about another "aussie" claiming one hand, one bounce.

Things not going to plan for the aussies, quick - find an excuse.

You are allowed to clean mud off the ball, you are especially allowed to do it in front of the umpire. Especially not a big deal when the umpire inspects the ball and see nothing wrong.
Umpires have said there was nothing wrong.
Same old aussies, always whingeing.

He's been here long enough to pick up some of their traits. Bandwagon supporting is his main one.

Yes they "fixed" it so they would win the game by playing superior cricket.God is an Englishman wrote:Bancroft caught cheating yesterday?

Funny how every toss we lost, we win the test (assuming same tomorrow) - the only toss we win, drawn game.

Re: The Ashes - 2017/2018
Sadly for the game this series will forever be tainted by substandard pitches, incompetent ground staff and poor weather. Such a pity they couldn’t get it right, to give the result some credibility.

Re: The Ashes - 2017/2018
Are you serious? Apart from MCG pitch, and yes there was some weather about in few tests, but 4 results from 5 suggests situation pretty normal.N5 1BH wrote:Sadly for the game this series will forever be tainted by substandard pitches, incompetent ground staff and poor weather.

Even still, funny how MCG was canned for being "too consistent" over 5 days, yet Indian dustbowls that hardly change from day 1 to 5 never get a mention.
