Happy 1st Bairstowversary

This whole thing just vindicates my view that the Ashes brings out the worst in everyone and should be abolished.

Agree, but that’s the best part about it

I think it brings out the best in the Aussies, have you seen what ***** they are at all other times???

warner should have lamped the etonian tosser

Basically a foreshadowing of the Tories and ReformUK taking lumps out of each other this general election. For the rest of us, sit back with some popcorn and watch the ***** fight.

Sorry but if you've ever seen an Australian crowd during an Ashes match, or been in Australia during an Ashes series, it's both countries. I hate the Ashes.

If England(and Bairstow) were smart, instead of meaninglessly cribbing, they would focus on not making the same blunder again, and patiently waiting in the crease before aimlessly wandering about, and then shut up and hope the world forgets that someone from their team got out in one of the dumbest and shame worthy ways possible.

Burgey (and Aussies in general) will still be celebrating Bairstowversaries a decade from now...

[Burgey]

Pretty accurate tbh

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

Ashes held in Australia are a predictable affair. I would have enjoyed seeing England getting thrashed if they had beaten us in the SF some time back, but have more or less no investment in this now.

Looks like this is the warm up thread for the actual series. Well I'm up for the fight. Gloves off everybody (or mittens in the Aussies case).

Hard to see how Australia beat us tbh. A reminder that they haven’t beaten us without cheating since 13-14

Can you confirm that they weren’t cheating then? Unless there is clear evidence, it’s always safer to assume that they are.

Off you go and warm up the lettuce leaves
