Proper Mannies Cricket

[Donanddusted]

How is that being miserable? The nationality rules in cricket have always been ridiculous.

Yes but those "foreigners" know how to lose like Scots.

[Aldo1983]

Proper mannies racists more like.

How can it be a surprise to anyone that Yorkshire were a racist cricket club?

I've always found Geoffrey Boycott to be a model of civility.

[Basingstokered]

Are they arguing over who is the bigger racist now his past has been exposed ?

[Aldo1983]

Proper mannies *** pests more like.

All be fine with a bit of sellotape

Maybe so, but I wouldn't like to be stuck in a French hotel room with him when he's angry.

Yes. He wasn't just obdurate at the crease.

Aye, Sky getting cancelled in the morning. What's the point of having a channel devoted to cricket if all you can show is wifie's 20/20 while the Ashes is on.

Got low expectations for this tour. Winning in Oz is hard enough without nae warm up games, unsettled batting lineup, inexperienced bowling attack and half fit allrounder. Could be 4 or 5 nil

The good news?

“The Ashes highlights will be shown on BBC iPlayer at 5pm (UK time) after each day of play.

A last-minute deal was struck that will see BBC publish clips across their social media accounts, as well as the online-only BBC iPlayer highlights show every afternoon.”

No tax-dodging viewing by you badge-of-honour boasting TV licence refuseniks now….

[57vintage]

England win the toss and bat first with:

Burns
Hameed
Malan
Root
Stokes
Pope
Buttler
Woakes
Robinson
Wood
Leach

Let’s cricket…
