Managed to watch every ball of 2005 Ashes due to a fortuitously timed back operation, made up for a lot of hurt.

It was certainly a sliding doors moment. Great credit to Labuschagne for seizing his opportunity, he’s looked very good and appears to be a spikey character who’s up for the fight, the new David Warner perhaps?

Australia retain Ashes in a thriller

Steady on Nudge, enjoy the win mate. Was a great game of cricket and Australia were deserved winners. Not sure you need to be picking fights with England fans right now.

You’re assuming that Australia would have reviewed, which frankly is not a given.

Everyone shocked as Ben Stokes walks after being given not out

That’s a very good nut first up. Australia have bowled exceptionally well to Root, he’s been under constant pressure.

Pat Cummins gives Australia the perfect start to second innings with near hat-trick

Not sure that kind of thinking will catch on, but fair play to you.

Was the English World Cup win the best thing for Australian cricket?

Steady on James, I thought I was supposed to be the touchy one. As I said, we’ll have to agree to disagree.

Australia dominate as England fall apart at Old Trafford

We’ll have to agree to disagree I’m afraid. Do you want or expect them to be like overexcited teenagers when somebody hits a 4? I heard plenty of compliments about Smith in particular. Not sure what you want tbh. Perhaps Australia should do there own broadcast rather than using the UKs one, might make you happier.

Oh you are being serious. 😂

Not sure that I’ve said that Lyon has played the victim have I?
Basically Lyon was a massive dick when he said what he said, it wasn’t said in the heat of the moment and it wasn’t said with any right of reply, it also wasn’t playful.
Prior basically said to Lyon that Karma is a bitch. To be mocking by definition it would have to be cruel which I don’t believe Prior’s tweet was, unlike Lyon’s statement. I don’t think there was anything playful in either instance, there was feeling there.
Look Ryan, we’re unlikely to agree on this and that’s ok, we don’t have to. Maybe we can agree to disagree?
And I wasn’t trying to ignore you so apologies on that front, just had a hectic day.

So is Lyon. What Lyon said was not ok imo. I don’t think what Prior said was playful, it wasn’t meant to be.
Lyon should be careful how he acts when he’s ‘up’ because it will be visited back upon you when you are ‘down’.

I disagree. You’d have to be extremely thin skinned to class that as mocking. It’s reaching of the first order imo.

Then, seriously I’m puzzled what the fuss is about or are you just being tribal and defending poor little Gazza?

Really, how?

Yes, but did he tweet anything horrendous or mocking? No he didn’t imo. #mothercricket isn’t exactly worthy of any of the responses it’s received, least of all from Warne, who has no business telling anybody to grow up.

Why was it poor taste from Prior?

Well not really. Do you guys know what Prior tweeted and why?

Is Lyon’s form very good?

Sheek, that is flat out wrong.
Literally everything you said is wrong, not least that in the old days a competent umpire would’ve given it out, they certainly wouldn’t have done. The ball also deflected plenty of the front pad. Still it doesn’t really matter anyway.

Appropriate moniker.

Did England win the third Test, or did Australia just hand it to them?

Pretty sure you did LOSE Rob, in fact I’m positive.

Kallis has great numbers and was a great player BUT he always seemed to play for himself, he never wanted to bowl and he always batted for his average. Stokes is 100% all about the team.
