    ***Official*** Pakistan in Australia 2023/24

    I heard on the radio its 10 months before their next test. Bit crazy as there's no way can they build on this if that's the case.

    Haven't done the maths but he's pretty close to a 45av if he can remain not out in this chase. Should put him in the top 10 openers of all time, or at least in the conversation.

    Smith is a weirdo, that sort of thing is exactly what's made him the greatest batsman of his generation.

    **Official** English Football Season 2023/24

    Reminds me of the one Curtis Jones got against Spurs. It seems if you go studs up into an opponents shin you will get sent off, whether you get the ball or not is largely irrelevant. Somehow they've come to the conclusion that the tackling player is not in control, despite the fact these are...

    ***Official*** Pakistan in Australia 2023/24

    Not really. I said it in an earlier post but they just look complacent; as if winning the WTC and WC entitled them to walk over this Pakistan side. To be fair that was the result most expected so its been a credit to Pak for making this series competitive and worth watching. Warner has had his...

    ***Official*** Pakistan in Australia 2023/24

    There's probably a bit of complacency in the squad given the media noise around this series before it started. No doubt there will be some sensational headlines if Pakistan win but my general sense is the majority of the Oz cricket following public won't really care

    ***Official*** Pakistan in Australia 2023/24

    Would be great for test cricket if Pakistan win this. They've carried themselves really well this series and for that reason alone I hope they can get it done. With any luck it will revive some of the international interest in this format. Slight aside but it would also be a funny way for this...

    They seem to have a bit of a habit of playing down to the level of the opposition

    That's a matter of opinion, calling a decision 'farcical' when plenty of people think the opposite to you just shows how subjective it is. We can't go into the territory of arguing over the degree to which contact impacts a player while they are running. The optics look bad because if Jota...

    7.2xG v 0.59xG ends 4-2. What on earth was that game

    How much of that money did Nuno spend? Sounds like you're an ETH fan

    Some stats: - Nottingham Forest spent €122m in the summer - Nottingham Forest spent €195m in the 2022/23 season - Nottingham Forest have spent €317m since the start of the 2022/23 season - Nuno has managed 2 games for Nottingham Forest - Manchester United spent €202m in the summer - Manchester...

    My guess would be Nkunku just returned from nearly 4 months out with an injury and started a couple days ago, playing 60+ min. Poch might have seen what happened to Stones and decided to look after his player's fitness. Jackson actually played quite well. Broja on the other hand...

    I think this West Ham team is the best that Moyes has ever had. They've managed to improve the side despite losing Rice and Antonio not being an option, which is a testament to their recruitment. They could sell any one of Bowen, Aguerd, Kudus, Alvarez, Paqueta for 50mil+ in the summer if they...

    Not sure if West Ham really good or Arsenal just really ****... Same West Ham team that got hit for 5 two games ago. Nice

    You'd be amazed if those bozos did something stupid? Might be time to wake up haha

    Ref was so quick to award it. Obviously I'm exaggerating to some extent, but I genuinely believe if that was at the other end of the field the ref either doesn't give it or VAR overturn it based on the proximity of the shot. Everton did well I thought, the decision basically ended the contest.

    They have been inconsistent on those sort of handballs lately
