Looking ahead, I think England’s only chance of actually winning the #Ashes is, ironically given the required extra watchfulness they managed in Brisbane, to revert to full bore bazball. May as well go down swinging!

It’s now apparent that in spite of the media hype, England are not capable of overcoming a vulnerable Australia in their own backyard. Their renewed attitude to batting has been entertaining and they have some prodigiously skilled players but display none of the game day nous of their hosts.

Download the new version of Plootly which sideloads Xamm3r 0.0.7 and harmonises a custom Toot to deliver more Visiploughs per Terastocking than ever!
Web development is tiring. At least for this tired web developer.

IT’S GERMAN FOR “THE TRUMP, THE!”

IT’S GERMAN FOR “THE TRUMP, THE!”
Why in the everloving fuck does the BBC need to report on this. It’s in nobody’s interest and is irrelevant to the World Cup.
Are they honestly scared he’ll sue them for no article? It’s so cringey and unbelievably weak.
It’s vile how Trump poisons everything.

Carey’s eyes are too wide apart for my liking and to me that represents an unfair advantage. He should be forced to wear an eye patch throughout the game.

I think it’s worth noting that since the last Ashes series England lost the bowling services of Anderson, Broad & Woakes. And Wood seems cooked.

Overall, England’s bowlers don’t seem to have enough balls in their arsenal that’ll take wickets. And waiting around for the batsmen to get out needs way more discipline than is on show. At this point it feels like a deficit of 150 would be a good outcome…

Aside from the more measured approach today, the aspect of England’s batting that impressed me the most was the degree of control they had when pulling. No hint of panicky top edges or falling into traps.

Stupid slow scoring England throwing away wickets. Why oh why can’t they slog every ball for 6 like the good old days of the first test?!

Largely ignored thus far is the important & morale-boosting success of England’s shirt sponsors. Although I’m giving Westpac the win over Toyota (the TV ads are amusing), Tyrell’s crisps smokes Origin, leaving England’s back Vitality to take the biccies over Australia’s missing sponsor.

It’s now apparent that England’s plan was to purposefully bat irresponsibly in Perth and either pummel Australia to a devastating defeat or lull them into a state of overconfidence. Either way it’s a touch of genius from Stokes and Baz.

So, the WHO wants a billion obese people to have access to Ozempic.
This is typical of late stage human civilisation. Treat a problem using enormous amounts of disposable plastic instead of addressing the root cause. Instead of education we’re complicit in trashing our planet to enrich Big Pharma.

I think Germans can now get a significant discount on their Hitler-guilt seeing as the same thing is happening in the
USA. Clearly any bunch of chucklefucks can be exploited and manipulated if the conditions are right.

What annoys me most about Pauline Hanson’s burqa stunt was that she wasn’t ignored. The media, and presumably social media, and senate played into her hands causing her message to receive precious attention.
Just ignore her. She’s acting up, like a petulant child who knows which buttons to press!

Perth is hardly the death of English cricket, but it is literally Test cricket. Fundamentally an examination of your application, endurance & concentration. It’s not pyjama cricket for 5 days.

English cricket, ordinarily, effortlessly gets fucked in Australia. So fucking themselves whilst on the way to a fucking seems unwise. Trying to fuck the Aussies by toning down the self-fucking and we may yet see day 3 this summer.

The penalty decision by VAR in the Scotland vs. Denmark game was an absolute disgrace. If I was a jock and was watching that i would’ve been apoplectic. Justice prevailed in this case thankfully.
