The Raiders are doing really well considering our coach, a few of our players, the coaches “tactics” and our coaches insistence on playing certain favourites for many games past their use by dates. Ricky is the most stubborn coach. Since he’s always right, he can’t change things until it’s way too late. I really don’t know why classy young players come here, they won’t get a game.

It would be a very unlikely victory for us, but I didn’t see any hope of a century opening stand either. It’ll be soooo satisfying if we beat them.

Raiders are no hope. Maybe with a different coach or at least a selection panel that doesn’t reward former champions for their 2019 form but can see how damned poorly they play in 2023.

Are the Sharks, Broncos or Raiders any chance to win the NRL premiership?

They “won” that Edgbaston Test only because the Umpire failed to give the most plumb LBW of Stokes not out. It was so out that it was against the spirit of cricket not to walk.

If you don't worship Bazball then you know nothing about cricket - just ask anyone from England's deluded cult

ODIs and 20/20s were interesting for a while too. Then they got boring. Don’t do that to Tests.

Did you mean the double negative? I married a Victorian and after 40 years I’m starting to understand her a little.

Weather they like it or not, England only have themselves to blame for Australia being raining Ashes champs

Yes it’s surprising that one doesn’t know all the rules after 50 years of watching, but I don’t.

Thank goodness there’s a balanced view from a Pom. I listened to the (non) cricket last night and this morning only relaxing at 5am when no cricket had been played. The hypocrisy of most Poms was bewildering, but we got some payback overnight. The Poms should be 2-2 but they aren’t. As Allies in this disturbed world it’s best we don’t want to wring each other’s necks.

If you’re actually a Pom in exile wouldn’t it be easier to just go home rather than battle against us Aussies every day?

'Incredibly proud' Bairstow's think of the kiddies sledge for Aussies over that stumping

No, losing to the Poms is a terrible, terrible thing, worse than death really as one can hopefully be at peace in death.

'Incredibly proud' Bairstow's think of the kiddies sledge for Aussies over that stumping

Bairstow is such a hypocrite. He tried to do the same thing and has even done the same thing. He’s like Trump saying the last election was rigged; only quite stupid people believe it. Unfortunately quite stupid people aren’t rare. Quite stupid people tend to congregate too, which is sad.

I think we’ve been psyched out by the Poms. How can this happen?? The Poms are still booing our players despite Poms doing the same things they’re booing about. There are seasoned veterans in our team that you would think could counter the bullshit. Cummins isn’t the man for the job from the look of the fields he’s setting, plus not even getting through one ball yesterday, just when another 50 runs could have made a huge difference. He did win us one test with his batting, we needed the same resolve yesterday.

Warner really needs to retire asap. I’m a Raiders fan, and Croker needs to do likewise. Champions that want to keep playing but their performances are starting to be embarrassing.

Selfishness, ignorance or pigheadedness? Warner putting own interest ahead of the team as farewell run of outs drags on

Carey is one of the nicest guys in cricket. He is a 5 star wicket keeper as against a 2 star one in Bairdstow. He has more class in his little finger than most Poms. No wonder they have a class hierarchy over there, one would like to think they’re above the ridiculous rubbish many current English players, fans and the media are trying to sell.

UK View: Aussies suffer ‘poetic justice’ for Bairstow incident as England deliver huge ‘psychological blow’

Warner needs to be dropped for the next two tests. Broad has his number. Whoever we replace him with at least has some chance of scoring runs.

It’s very hard to respect the English at the moment. It seems immaterial to them that their players have done exactly the same, or worse, things than what they’ve currently spewing about.

Sandpapergate was a terribly dopey thing to attempt, I admit.

That’s true, but I can’t believe the young fella didn’t make it. DCE isn’t a speedster!

I have a disabled son that moved out of home last year at 34yo, thanks to the NDIS. Thanks to all you people who work and pay tax; it’s truly appreciated! I mean it.

I’m struggling to dislike QLD and Slater. They are playing with my head.

Quite insightful! Ricky calls Raiders fans morons when we don’t agree with him. It’s very true that 99.9% of people didn’t play as well as Ricky, but you only need two eyes to see that some players are years past their use by date; much like the “structures” used when we’re attacking.

Delusional. You crap on us but still are unlucky. Under what circumstances are you happy?

How did DCE catch Stephen Crighton when he had a few metres start? It’s not believable, really.
