Claret Blue and Green
Quote from: hilts_coolerking on August 25, 2019, 05:34:45 PMThere's some weapons grade whinging going on by Australians. Variously they blame Jofra Archer, the ECB, British weather, the umpires and Tim Paine. Genuinely there are no sorer losers than Australian sports fans.Tim Paine himself was very gracious at the end, especially about the Stokes lbw decision. Yes, it was wrong, but it would have been a crime against sport if that knock hadn’t been match winning.

Ben Stokes has probably save Joe Root's job as Captain. Amazing innings. Best I've ever seen.
Not sure what they do if Jimmy is fit

he needs to play a 4 day County first or reserve game before he is considered for selection.
Just woken up, didn’t bother watching last night, wasn’t in the mood to see the likes of Warner and Lyon dancing on the ground celebrating.How did we get on? 😉
Anderson is not fit. He has not played any cricket since the first test in any case. If he is passed medically fit he needs to play a 4 day County first or reserve game before he is considered for selection. Otherwise it's a big risk.
