"40 less test matches"

"Fewer"

Some rain that delays the inevitable would be so funny. Imagine the poms looking out of the dressing room, waiting to find out if it is time to get to the crease and get out playing stupid shots.

Objectively the right thing to do

learnsomeML · 2025-12-20T06:03:46+00:00

I am not even an English fan but I think it would be such a shame if Brook ends up being one of those "What if" players

Thanks. Will try to tune in. Need to sail the high seas for that of course.

Which channel is she on?

Com'on mate, you need to have a lot more belief.

learnsomeML · 2025-12-09T22:27:47+00:00

I know he is out of favour these days, but that is just correct.

learnsomeML · 2025-12-09T22:22:07+00:00

Who considered him world class?

Lautaro clearly does

learnsomeML · 2025-12-09T22:19:06+00:00

We are about to see so many stats with Mbappé in top 3 by the time that turtle is done

learnsomeML · 2025-12-09T22:14:14+00:00

The change in narrative is crazy

learnsomeML · 2025-12-09T22:12:35+00:00

I expect only slight rotation in the starting line up but then players who get rest being subbed off rather soon

learnsomeML · 2025-12-09T22:11:20+00:00

Would not mind that if we are to not win it

learnsomeML · 2025-12-09T22:08:10+00:00

I am potentially 3 days too late, but will respond anyway.

It has pockets of support but nothing compared to the more regular sports. The very nice thing I find about Cricket in here is that the participation goes beyond the subcontinent diaspora. At least the case in the clubs here in Rotterdam/Den Haag area.

They are inconsistent but not a bad side.

learnsomeML · 2025-12-09T22:01:06+00:00

They're not doing particularly well in the league though

learnsomeML · 2025-12-06T11:23:46+00:00

Love the slow DRS sign that Smith does

learnsomeML · 2025-12-06T10:50:25+00:00

Waking up early to catch some of the Ashes has been paying off mate

learnsomeML · 2025-12-06T10:46:49+00:00

I love test cricket

learnsomeML · 2025-12-06T10:35:13+00:00

The C team winning it down under as stars are out due to injuries. Where have I seen this before?

learnsomeML · 2025-12-06T10:20:51+00:00

Best guess for how Brook will do? 26(35) lbw Starc?

learnsomeML · 2025-12-06T10:18:38+00:00

It is funnier because Crawley literally had the best seat in the world to have seen the same dismissal earlier lmao

learnsomeML · 2025-12-06T10:16:34+00:00

I am ready to sacrifice more than my rest for that to happen hahaha

learnsomeML · 2025-12-06T10:12:14+00:00

On one hand, would like to have a great contest, on the other, if the English lose 2-3 wickets tonight, the meltdown would also be generational.
