I remember going through Melbourne airport during an Ashes series that was still in the balance. There was Convict cricket swag aplenty, and the match was being shown on every TV in sight.

Returning after England had retained the Ashes with a match to go, there was not a fucking cricket item to be seen, and all the TVs were turned off.

^ I was gonna post a pic of a ladyboy nodding in agreement with 'Arry, but after my first Google search of ladyboy nodding gif got nothing of use... I tried the more general ladyboy gif and wished I hadn't... I think I also lost the respect of the two attractive Korean ladies sitting behind me in this coffee shop...

^ &, it was worse than that, KW, all of the ladyboy gifs showed ladyfellas with cocks about three times the size of mine... I don't know how I can go home to the wife now...

(Obviously, I have a huuuuuge cock, so those gifs must have been photoshopped; goes without saying...)

Truth hurts eh, you convict chumps.

Roy out trying to smash the leather off the ball - next opener!

OUT! ROY EDGES TO WARNER AT FIRST SLIP! HAZLEWOOD STRIKES

He just can't help himself, this boy. If it's full and wide, Roy always throws the hands at it. No footwork, all hand. Yet again he gets a healthy edge, and Warner took a pretty good catch at first slip. He's a walking wicket at the top of the order, and Hazlewood took it this time.

Joe Root is so crucial today. It's a wonderful opportunity for him, but one he really must take. He defends the final ball of a good over.

**David48atTD** · 23-08-2019, 05:31 PM

Will you Poms stop getting out so quickly ... my fingers can't type this fast!

GONE! ROOT GONE FOR A DUCK! NICKS OFF TO WARNER AGAIN!

Well then! This is a fair start from Australia now! That was a beauty from Hazlewood, almost identical to the ball that got Root first ball in the second innings at Lord's. It's come second ball this time, but he was again stuck on the crease and caught behind the wicket. Perhaps Paine could have had a crack at catching it, but Warner fortunately had it covered and took a very sharp catch. Australia flying early.

Joe Denly strides to the crease.

The Aussies are on. Denly edged into the ground to the cordon, where it was excellently stopped by Harris.

Christ - Denley lucky.... that 179 looks a great score - Eng 62 for 5 by Lunch.

England 2/17

**David48atTD** · 23-08-2019, 05:44 PM

I'm flicking between the Footy and the Cricket and my two 5 yo boys are 1/2 watching.

One of them looked up and said ... "England are winning BIG time. They are 17 and the others are 2"

England are 17-2

Kids ... a different take on most things.

**Saint Willy** · 23-08-2019, 05:53 PM

Piss Orf!

I reckon they've susses Rory Burns out here - it's the short one. He got smacked on the glove a couple of balls ago, and stuffed up a hook shot there. Not sure if it took glove or even a bit of bat through to Paine, but it's quite cleary out. 3-20 now, wowzers.

Fair bit of pressure on Ben Stokes's shoulders now.

... and no weather assistance

Won't belong before i'm Stoked.
