Truth Always Hurts

I’m sorry, what?

 

[Qlder]

Surprised to see this Test bumped off to GEM (with NRL on Ch 9 instead)

5 hours to go for the toss. Eng chose to bowl here last time vs India so maybe Aus batting either way as isn't liking to chase part of Bazball?

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Sorry I am new here and the oldest man in the universe must go to bed now as I need to be up at 6 so I can watch later

Ah yes this is so much more relevant , hope you wake up on the right side of the bed today.

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Many times eng lost "1St Test of New Series", unless they play vs india

But i count on Eng koz Baz & Stokes are Doing best for england

 

[honestbharani]

Moeen needs five more wickets to reach 200 in Tests, and 86 more runs to reach 3000 -

Hope he does both this game.

 

[Victor Ian]

Anderson is set to feature in his tenth consecutive Ashes series, having picked up 112 wickets at 33.76

Wait. What? Only 112 in 10 series? That's ****ing ****

 

[Victor Ian]

Hope he does both this game.

He's going to totally troll Australia

Lool, yeah

SCC vs GSK potentially just as mouthwatering a contest as the Ashes

Yeah....don't think I've ever seen SCC hark up to anyone.....he's like the nicest bloke on the forum. But he didn't like that from gsk......this could be fun.

I loved that the "World Test Championship Final" was relegated to Seven Mate or whatever it was behind second-tier AFL fixtures in Victoria

Contracts that shouldn't be broken

Australians as a rule really don't have that much interest in cricket outside of their home summer. Football codes too ingrained.
