@chrismcg1980@beastieboy07 Sandpaper, Murray mints, dirt, spikes on shoes, teeth, zippers... What's the difference? So which one is it matey all cheats and should've been banned for life or not? I'm really interested to hear how they're different in your mind?
@chrismcg1980@beastieboy07 Yeah you kind've did. If Smith's a cheat who should never have played again (your words), then that would make '05 void as Trescothick did the same (arguably worse) for all tests.
So which is it? Smith's a cheat and '05 is void as they were cheats or not? Pick one mate.
@chrismcg1980@beastieboy07 Not really relevant.. but just on that, did you campaign to have Atherton, Trescothick Broad + Anderson banned for life after doing the same thing? Or Khan, Afridi, du Plessis or Chandimal? I'm assuming you did, as you don't look like a hypocrite. '05 was void according to you?
There should be a LOT more pressure on @CricketAus selection. This is pathetic. 6 years they've continued to pick someone who has consistently been poor. Warner shouldn't have been playing away. #ashes#ENGvAUS
@beatsyboi All I can think is there's a very explosive book that comes with his retirement and they're trying to prolong it.
There doesn't seem to be a cricketing reason to play him haha
@beatsyboi If he's only playing as a first slip there are huge issues haha. Considering his county cricket stint for the Delhi Capitals showed how seriously he took his shithouse record in England it's a joke he's played all tests!
The classic response when you lost as a kid "I don't care it doesn't matter anyway".
Well then, just stoke your English #ashes team with marketers who dabble in comedy then if entertainment is the only KPI. #ENGvAUS
'Weβre not focused on winning as a side, weβre focused on making people enjoy watching and bringing Test cricket alive again...' π£
Australia may have retained the #Ashes but England says it is looking at the 'bigger picture' π https://t.co/unNuJScjen
@Lightni12092685 Absolutely mate, people saying 'in hindsight' Stokes Day 1 declaration was poor. In real time it was mind bogglingly dumb. @nassercricket winning the toss and choosing to bowl back in the day level bad.
Really poor selection and performance last test agreed! Warner untenable.
@Lightni12092685 I'm Australian mate, this is tongue firmly in cheek. Have seen a lot of how England lost the Ashes, haven't seen enough of how good Australia were to win key moments.
