>quick we need Ben Sto-

stop posting it user people will see

state

is usman khawaja related to moeen ali?

mind blown

is moeen ali related to mohammed ali?

I expect at least 400-500 from Australia today

>implying

england will destroy our tail in about an hour once the current partnership fucks up

tipping under 275 all out desu

today is and always has been The day

Went on a hike this afternoon lads

was a great bit of needle between smoth and james

where?

If my post number ends in double digits I firmly believe that Australia will be all out for less than 250

Nah the English attack isn’t very threatening. Tail Enders will probably pile on 50-100 runs.

lol btfo

if repeating digits australia goes 5-0, if singles england wins, and if triples a terrorist attack kills 100 people and there won't be another ashes out of respect for the dead

dubs for england to wins a test

Superstition mointains was really cool put in my top 3

Blundell confirmed GOAT

What's for brekky lads?

Day boo

sushi and pretzels

Remember tradies without us unions you'd be working today. Keep paying my salary if you want things to stay this way. Let us university educated folk handle all the fancy smanchy administration words and writing. Take care of those joints, we need shitheads like you slaving away for us.

10:07 local time
reminder we have still got fucking hours to wait

>fake and gay

lamb chops with grilled tomato

dont tell me about my own life keyboard user

breakfast is for fat people

you only need two meals a day, being hungry sometimes is actually good for you

You intermittent fasting as well? It's given me the greatest quality of life.

/blundell/

Trent Boult the real mvp

>Ashes fans refuse to leave Adelaide Oval

Crickey

For me, it's a 155kph bouncer to the throat, crushing the windpipe and resulting in a swift but agonising death

Just a meme lad - what did you have to drink with it?

tanked up cricket fans abuse the local police

I just have one big meal every day because I'm too lazy to prepare multiple meals and also like to just sit down and watch something for a while while I eat, something I couldn't do with regular portion sizes.

Why are the tendies so shit lads

people who run their game take all the money

sad how they knocked down all the comfy old ground is the windies and built out of town modern pieces of shit for one of the icc cups a few years ago

lol

They have to play against only the 2nd world class seamer NZ has ever produced.
Well, SA produced him, but you get what I mean

New Zealand favourite for a win, unless there's several sessions lost to rain

Just had a sudden urge to place a bet on the tendies lads

Not sure why ...

A daring call

Why does Ross Taylor average 48 in test cricket and still his career is a massive disappointment?

...

Shitty odds. Bet365 has 1.002, 41.00 and 101.00

Same desu

imagine being the bloke that lost his place in the team for stokes

>Saturday night’s alright for fighting. How Broad and Anderson took revenge on Smith on day one in Adelaide

Stokes has never been consistent. At least when I watched he'd only get a meme ton every now and then. I think his bowling was more valued even though it wasn't anything special. Just having one more guy who wasn't complete turd in the bowling and batting lineup while only taking 1 spot was enough to provide some stability.

Interesting comparison below between Stokes and Botham after 21 Tests:

sport.bt.com/more-sport-hub/more-sport/ben-stokes-v-sir-ian-botham-a-comparison-at-24-S11364032656730

>Wasn't as good as the best all rounder England's ever had
>Shit

Aye - the only thing lacking from his cupboard at this stage is an Ashes defining series.

Botham was mainly a bowler who could bat a bit, he also only peaked in one Ashes series which is why he was well known.

>On Wednesday, Shane Watson became the latest figure in Australian cricket to suggest of Stokes that he "does not think he should be able to come and play" in the Ashes. He needs, according to Watson, "a precedent set, even for his own, benefit [so he can] learn from his mistakes and realise there are consequences for your actions." Good old Shane: always thinking of the best for England players. And this time he's reached a judgement without waiting for a review or even the conclusion of a police investigation.

Dobell is SEETHING

That and a decent bowling average.

But he's still good enough to get in the XI

I mean, he get 14 test centuries. He's hardly someone who could bat "a bit".

But yes, he was a bowling allrounder

I think of him like Miller.

Talented enough to be a specialist batsman but just went memeswinging because he was mainly a bowler.

Botham
>Bowling average: 28.40
>Batting average: 33.54

A bowling all-rounder as per whereas as so far, Stokes seems to be more of a batting all-rounder

Dobell was always a bit of a nutter but he has absolutely lost his mind in the last month or so

I'm surprised that England haven't imploded without him desu If he does play, there will be a tonne of pressure on him if we're already 2 or 3 nil down in the series.

Reminder one day cricket was basically invented by a 56% face

how many bongs until day 2 lads?

and thats dinner

>day 2
more like night 2 WAHEY!!!

Just ordered maccas from Uber eats

what times kick off?

fat cunt

*raises unopened bottle of beer*

The air last night was warm and moist
In a dream I thought I heard your voice
Well I went outside I started to sing
The crickets where doing the very same thing
Me and the crickets sing all night long
Me and the crickets sing the same damn song
A song of how love should be
A song of how you should be with me
The crickets sing loud, but they sing good
The crickets sing like I wish I could
I sing good but the crickets sing best
Me and the crickets put the night to rest
Me and the crickets sing all night long
Me and the crickets sing the same damn song
A song of how love should be
A song of how you should be with me
---------------------------------------
Wonder if the crickets know
Where love comes from and where love goes
If they know they're not saying a thang
All they do is sit here and sing
Yea cause me in the crickets sing all night long
Me in the crickets sing the same damn song
A song of how love should be
A song of how you should be with me
Me and the crickets sing all night long
Me and the crickets sing the same damn song
A song of how love should be
A song of how you should be with me
Well I really think you should be with me
Well ask the crickets and they'll agree
I say ask the crickets and they'll agree

Love these episodes lads.

morning lads
just woke up
poo'd in da loo

for me it's wogball

>wogball
wogball (uncountable) (Australia, slang, derogatory, ethnic slur) soccer quotations ▼

Wog being an offensive term for a either a dark skinned foreigner or an Italian.

Reminder Moeen Ali needs to drop his bowling to concentrate on his batting to be the best batsman in the world
Worked for an untalented hack like smith so why not

The lead singer is called Morrissey you dumbarse

it means any southern european

If they eat kebab or any variation which is clearly the same thing (gyros), they are wog

Basin reserve is the best ground in the world
