Stuff the poms and their subjective righteousness, holier than thou bullshit.

They got their sums wrong. Stokesy f**ked up. It's a gigantic cock up.
The kiwis took on the same mantra in and around that 2015 World Cup period…. Walking away from a loss claiming moral victories. I’ve noticed during this ashes that the poms are elite at talking up their own feats no matter how average they are whilst failing to acknowledge anything the opposition do.

The Bazball founder getting knocked over for a duck in the final have anything to do with that?

Because the Poms are sore losers and whingers, that's why. The true colours of a lot of them came out in full view during this Ashes series - both from players and the crowd. The incessant booing over every miniscule thing that doesn't go England's way on-field has been nauseating to hear, but the disgusting behaviour from the posh, swanky MCC members at Lord's has permanently tarnished whatever prestige it had playing there in the past. Cricket fans aren't going to be forgetting an incident such as that anytime soon.

ROFL at Stuart Broad saying it will be unjust if Australia retain the Ashes due to weather (much like when he said pre-Ashes that Australia's 4-0 win in 2021/22 doesn't count due to strict COVID protocols his team had to adhere to! I mean, what does that have anything to do with their crappy performances they dished up in that test series????), but he has absolutely no issue with rain at the same Old Trafford that allowed England to retain the 2013 Ashes when Australia were in a strong position to win that test.

Go easy on poor tigers man. He’s been unemployed since the Rock Roadhouse burnt down taking Subway with it. The deluded sandwich artist is still in decline.

Booing Marnus yesterday was a new low. He wasn’t tied up in sandpaper gate nor does he seem to get involved in verbals but that was an elite ton and he probably loses the flat track bully / can’t play overseas tag.

Guarantee you that if England won the 21/22 Ashes series Stuart have been saying it was England's greatest triumph etc etc.

Stokes just needs to go to the tattoo parlour and get one on his face like this:

EXACTLY!

Just like if Bairstow "stumped" Carey the way Carey stumped Bairstow, the crowd would've cheered it and the play would've been heralded in the UK media as a brilliant piece of thinking, how fantastic it was for Bairstow to have the presence of mind to dismiss Carey like that etc.

Absolutely no way would tossers such as Piss Morgan, Geoff Boycott, Graeme Swann and others in the UK that have lambasted Carey and Cummins in the aftermath of that incident would have the audacity to say that what Bairstow did wasn't in the spirit of the game, if the roles were reversed.

Hats off though to Atherton/Hussain/Vaughan/Strauss: 4 former English test captains who had their heads screwed on correctly in stating they did not having an issue with what Carey did.

Poor old Stuart missed out in 2010/11

He did his adductor in the 2nd test and went home missed the party they had in Melbourne and Sydney that summer.
