What the replica urn, that tacky little thing. Couldn't one of your blokes simply pop it in his pocket for the duration? Like Broad has always done with Warner

Nah, the sandpaper might scratch it.
Just order one from the Gift Shop and have it shipped over. So much easier.
Which was what?
The draw was meant to be a reference to the series.God is an Englishman wrote: ↑Thu Aug 03, 2023 10:46 am
England won the 3rd test.
The 4th test was the draw.
Two tests each but they were really lucky in their two and only won the second one by dubious sportsmanship and the 4th was only drawn because of rain when we were killing them so we’re very unlucky not to have won that one and so should have won the series and been photoed with the pretend urnThe Bourne Identity wrote: ↑Thu Aug 03, 2023 11:43 amWhich was what?

Funny you say that. I watched the Back Page the other night and Crash Craddock kept harping on about the Bairstow stumping being probably the best tonic for england and really wasn't worth doing because at the time Australia were moseying along quite well and england looked a bit disjointed and going through the motions (even with bazball). Then that incident seemed to get everyone on the team up and about and more galvanized etc. Throw in the "angry" home crowd and the little edges certainly helped them. Reckon he (Craddock) had a point.N5 1BH wrote: ↑Thu Aug 03, 2023 1:32 pmTwo tests each but they were really lucky in their two and only won the second one by dubious sportsmanship and the 4th was only drawn because of rain when we were killing them so we’re very unlucky not to have won that one and so should have won the series and been photoed with the pretend urnThe Bourne Identity wrote: ↑Thu Aug 03, 2023 11:43 amWhich was what?
