2nd ASHES TEST: @ Lords Jun 28 - Jul 2nd, 2023

Winning is very boring

Losing is very entertaining just ask the poms

They didn't seem that entertained when thet fled the stadium straight after the winning run.

 

[jargan83]

All that matters is how relaxed you look in the sheds and how much you talk about playing golf.

I had no idea that Test Cricket was so similar to 5th grade.

 

[Bazal]

Can Bazball defeat Boreball?

Bazball should worry about how to stop defeating itself tbh

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Lol, this soft failure Bell end is now putting in his useless two bob's worth. These pricks realise they lost the game?

Losing is the new winning

I had no idea that Test Cricket was so similar to 5th grade.

That’s not fair to some of the 14 & 15 year olds I coach who play 5th grade and bowl better than Sir Ollie (knighthood for gracious losing).

The Sherminator is still recovering after the analing warnie gave him 18 years ago.

Knobinson isn't the full quid, surely. And little Baz is like a leader of a brain washed cult:

Truly delusional.

We aren't results driven but we are absolutely devastated... lol

 

[Bazal]

Let's be honest Ollie is right. We didn't go toe to toe with them.

Because they backed down like cowards and lost

 

[Eelectrica]

Bash boost point or burst for England!

 

[Eelectrica]

Smithy pretty much owns Lords
Khawaja in a rich vein of form. Not sure he can replicate the effort from game 1 but he’s going ok.

I think we’ll be fine. Especially if England stick with JB. They’ve got to stick with JB behind the stumps. Watching him fumble and bumble behind the stumps is entertainment+

We’d bring back Wadey to add to that entertainment, but he’s busy pondering the secrets of the multiverse or something.

It really is hilarious England justifying there defeat by saying we didnt play a T20 game in a Test Match were no good.

Look I'm no Anderson fan but it's a fair point. Why continue at the age of 93 if your own board and team are demanding decks that completely nullify you?

 

[bazza]

From reading those articles Baz seems to think getting a close result against Australia is a "win"
Must have been from his long career losing to them for New Zealand

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Dementia has got hold of Jimmy.

Bazbald isn't about the bowlers its about batting. And not just any batting, entertaining batting. High octane entertaining English batting to be exact.

England Bowling and fielding is just like intermission at the movies before the entertainment starts again!!
