They are republicans and want all ties with the Motherland axed.

Exactly what I posted earlier on here. If Broad comes in first ball at Headingley and whips off the bails without giving prior warning then, although within the laws, it is unsportsmanlike. I bet the Aussies would have something to say then.

Well I still love watching test cricket and above all else, ashes tests both here and Oz.

Some will be calling to ban the Barmy Army next! Having been to every Australian test ground I can see why the Barmy Army was formed, strength in numbers against the very partizan Aussies. Nothing wrong with that but plenty stepped over the line. The football style fans referred to by some on here didn’t start in this country.

On my many trips to Australia I’ve never had a problem with any Aussie, but it seems that Australians over here continually go on about whinging poms. That should be turned round to whinging diggers after yesterdays debacle in the long room. If they thought that welcome was bad, wait for the one they’ll get from the west stand at Headingley. The MCC need to grow some as well, grovelling to the Aussies just like the did after the Adelaide test in 1933. Please don’t tell me it doesn’t matter because it was a long time ago, they bring it up all the time in Australia.

I agree that results show that they are a better team than us, and also we should “fight fire with fire”. I thought the correct thing for Carey to have done was to warn Bairstow that if he kept walking out of his ground then he would stump him. Obviously the Aussies didn’t think that was required, fair enough. So when we come to the next test and Australia bat, Englands opening bowler runs in, and whips off the bails thereby stumping the backing up non striker, also not giving a prior warning. It’s not in the spirit of the game but it is allowed in the laws of the game. Australia would have no complaints I presume. That is certainly fighting fire with fire.

Smith should have never been anywhere near a test match since sandpapergate.

The trouble with watching those clips is it brings me to tears to realise how far we have fallen. At least we got the chance to witness these great players.

Let’s hope they pick Ince then

The odd thing is what caused Darren Moore’s departure.

I have just signed up too. Well worth it!

My son is there. It’s chucking it down.

Sorry my fault I wasn't very clear. It is after I subscribe for the one month, where do I then go to cancel that, and then subscribe to the annual subscription?

I am very interested in signing up when you consider the cost versus the cost of a replica shirt these days. I would rather contribute to help keep this site going. If like the idea of the one month trial and the cancelling after one month and taking up the annual subscription, but where do I go to do that?

Many thanks or Many Lancs

I ate a couple of times in the Myerscough, and on the first occasion, being a Robinsons pub, I thought that they would have Old Tom on draught. Alas not and when i enquired I was told that they had taken it off to protect any drivers who came for a meal and would just have one pint. A pint of Old Tom would put most people over the limit. The food was excellent as Baz says.
