@AndrewPHopkins5@HawkTalkPod I think qualifying final against Bulldogs in 2008 was his best game. Kicked 8 on a champion in Lake and almost every goal was unstoppable and extraordinary
@bbctms@Athersmike@BBCSounds Bazball is Brexit level of stupidity in cricket form. Stokes has failed to win Ashes series on home soil. That’s an embarrassing failure, remembering England haven’t even won a single test match in last 3 Aussie tours. An Aussie captain would be crucified for losing at home
@ahleach Embarrassing tweet. Long series has ups and downs. Ashes are retained and test 5 still in play, with genuine possibility of winning outright away from home while missing Lyon
@Mawilliams67Mw@bbctms Lol. The team that can’t even win a series at home isn’t winning squat in Australia. Proper English sides that at least win at home got smashed 4-0 or 5-0 in Aus.
@Mawilliams67Mw@bbctms I’d be embarrassed about not winning a series at home. That indignity fortunately hasn’t been a concern for Australia for a long time given England haven’t won a single test match in Aus in a decade. Not winning at home is very embarrassing
@Mawilliams67Mw@bbctms And yet didn’t. England couldn’t even win a series at home, have no hope away from home. Haven’t even won a test in Australia in a decade. Unfortunately the only competitive series are in England as England inept abroad
@mroller98 It’s not about winning or losing the toss for England but how they participate in the coin toss. They will however be complaining about the fairness of this toss and seeking to abolish the tradition of the coin toss to be replaced by England just deciding whether to bat or bowl
@SkyCricket It’s not about winning the toss for England, it about how they participate in the coin toss. Though they will be disputing the coin toss rule, which should now be changed
@eff_hey The English whingeing is what has made their latest Ashes failure so enjoyable. Unprecedented whingeing. Without it, it would have just been another routine English cricketing failure from a side that has won 3 of the last 20 ashes tests.
@GusGguuss @stevesmithffx Bazball is just an excuse for losing. “We didn’t actually lose because we don’t care about winning and we played Bazball so we actually won. And the rules must change to allow us to.”
