Bangkokhatter Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 was planning on congratulating Australia on retaining the Ashes, but as the thread is full of whining Aussies talking nonsense i won't bother. Shame the weather got in the way of what up till now was a cracking test series that despite the uneducated comments from the Aussies on here, could have gone either way. Actually i am better than that, congratulations on retaining the Ashes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HungDonger Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Ban all future Test cricket in England ! The chances of completing a series of 5 day games in the middle of the English summer is remote. A waste of time and effort for the visiting players and supporters. The constant rains mean the series are based on luck. Once the games are played in a neutral environment with decent weather and without 'pitch fixing' we will all see how bad English cricket really is . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarraMarra Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 One of the biggest cheating Scandals was caused by 3 top Aussie test cricketers, Captain Steve Smith, Vice Captain David Warner and the Aussie test Coach Darren Lehmann were caught using Sandpaper to alter the swing of the ball in Cape Town in 2018. It is now known as Sandpapergate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong again bignok yes English players may have tampered with the ball but we were not caught cheating only suggested without evidence of ball tampering we are talking about your Country's Captain and vice Captain filmed sneaking sandpaper out of there Pockets.

Australia do very well at it, as they do in many sports, despite being a new country, unlike my country, who invented so many things, including golf yet can't play the silly game to save their lives.
