They remind me of Leeds United in the 70ās, plenty of talent but resorting to dirty tactics with a win at any cost mentality. Perhaps this will also see an end to sledging? Surely no place for it in what is supposed to be a gentlemanās game?
Smith breaks down in press conference and cries like a little girl. What a ponce. FFS the over reaction from all parties to this is astounding. They roughed up a ball and got caught, thatās it. Punishment dished out and thatās the end of the matter. No need for any lynchings, no need for any gobshite social media bollocks and no need to cry like a pussy in front of the cameras and talk about stains on national identities. Itās a fucking cricket ball, not a national disaster, FFS.
And off we go again. After our riproaring performance in Jockland (Think we were actually fooled by the fact the Sun shone)
ODI vs The Sandpaperers starts today.
Will this be a much needed respite from learning which England players fancy whom in Love Island? Or another reason to scratch our balls in bemusement?
16.1 W Ali to Paine, OUT , oh dear, what was that from Paine?! Makes a pre-meditated move outside off, brings out the reverse-sweepā¦ and lobs a gentle top edge to short third man! He completely telegraphed his intentions, Buttler was almost far enough across to intercept the ball himself, but to compound that the execution was poor, hitting against the offspin, and heās gifted Moeen a third!
