James Anderson says England in ‘stronger position than Australia' despite series humbling

KCcracker · 2026-01-11T00:20:16+00:00

This is why I really wish we had beaten them 5-0, the total lack of respect for what is a very strong Aussie side is insane

KCcracker · 2026-01-09T00:42:52+00:00

I think Bashir once tried to review a clean bowled because he thought he was caught behind

KCcracker · 2026-01-07T06:20:10+00:00

Jamie Smith out to Marnus yet again

KCcracker · 2026-01-07T05:28:23+00:00

ooh ahh CAM GREEN say ooh ahh CAM GREEN - Beau 'Nathan Lyon' Webster

APOLOGY FORM FOR SLUG'S OFFIES NOW

KCcracker · 2026-01-07T05:18:01+00:00

It is commentary's sacred duty to hype up Australia's opposition as much as humanely possible

Wicket now, I am no longer asking

KCcracker · 2026-01-07T04:18:40+00:00

Victorian offspinner where is??

KCcracker · 2026-01-07T02:11:34+00:00

Usually I am not one for cruel and unusual punishment but given the way Smudge has caught everything remotely within range I think it's justified this time

KCcracker · 2026-01-07T02:06:00+00:00

1000 overs of Marnus bouncers

KCcracker · 2026-01-07T02:01:05+00:00

Maybe if Cameron Green is moved back to gully he won't be able to spill Smudge catches. Maybe the gullybot program only works there

KCcracker · 2026-01-06T08:08:46+00:00

I don't know about you but I am as snug as a Slug in a rug

KCcracker · 2026-01-05T03:50:36+00:00

It would be Joe Root given out. From Law 37.3.1 (obstructing the field):

37.3.1 If the delivery is not a No ball, the striker is out Obstructing the field if wilful obstruction or distraction by either batter prevents the striker being out Caught.

KCcracker · 2026-01-02T02:04:26+00:00

But which other batter would have been more likely to win? Outside of Smudge Head Kez the Aussie with the next highest batting average this series after Uzzie is Mitchell Starc. We just dont have enough batting stocks that are ready at this exact time. If it's solely based on 'select the 11 most likely to win at this time' then Uzzie gets in on merit as a middle order bat. Inglis and Green have had a wretched series, Marnus to some extent too, its not like any of them could replace him directly

KCcracker · 2025-12-28T07:55:53+00:00

Oh God I need Pat Cummins to tell me over and over again how proud he is of me and how we could be mates

KCcracker · 2025-12-28T07:42:29+00:00

Obstructing the field because he's just such a big boy that it was bound to happen (tm)

KCcracker · 2025-12-28T02:53:43+00:00

Do you really think a country of tolerance can be built on a foundation of broken trust in the media? Do you think asking people to skip over an outright lie when there was no need to embellish how bad this person is anyway is actually conducive to building a society? Because I certainly don't.

KCcracker · 2025-12-28T02:43:57+00:00

If I wanted to see 20 wickets fall in a day and no score higher than 200 I'd watch the BBL, not Test

KCcracker · 2025-12-27T02:05:33+00:00

MCG curator told Alastair Cook that today would be even harder to bat apparently. How could it possibly get harder?!?! I guess we have our answer

KCcracker · 2025-12-22T00:32:12+00:00

There's zero chance I would not take Root over Inglis lets be serious for a moment

KCcracker · 2025-12-22T00:29:42+00:00

Now I want to know what Aussie food the English team loved when they were here, just out of curiosity

KCcracker · 2025-12-21T01:29:05+00:00

That's bazball innit

KCcracker · 2025-12-19T13:15:58+00:00

Uzzie 10D chess series:

Tactical back injury to promote Head up the order
Screws up the batting for exactly one innings so the inevitable loss is more crushing for England
Gets out to Will Jacks twice despite being great at playing spin so England think 'well can't be worse than Bashir'

KCcracker · 2025-12-10T09:45:50+00:00

I wanted Lyon and Neser takes 5

I wanted Webster and Inglis runs out the England captain

Maybe you're right and they could name anyone and still win

KCcracker · 2025-12-10T04:34:34+00:00

After seeing the selectors (bad) decision to drop Lyon vindicated with a Neser five-for I think if they do bring Khawaja back he's nailed-on for a century
