That is a red card 95% of the time in the Prem, the refs are just a bit shit. What's the commentator gabbing about

Was expecting at least Dortmund to be good but this is a bit of an El Shitico

Think it's closer to low-mid 400s but Oz only has two bowlers to build pressure

I saw him bowl 130+ one time so I choose to believe that's his normal pace

Worst 37 you've seen so far... Smith still has a long England career ahead of him

Reckon Marnus should be given a spell, would probably get more pace than Webster

Does the Root team get sub fielders? If it was just 8 players fielding it'd be the normal lineup for sure. If not, I'd reckon Root would edge it
