The Official England Cricket Team Supporters thread

Indigenous Australians are well represented in league and AFL. Badly represented in Cricket. Not sure why tbh.

We are same here sadly. Travellers well represented in boxing only

Yes, you’d notice when watching the AFL or either rugby code a good representation from the Aborigine community.

Khawaja was the first Asian to be capped for Australia, a decade ago now. Think he’s still possibly the only one.

I never knew Dizzy was aboriginal.
An absolute gent by all accounts. Should be English coach.

A colossus of Yorkshire and England cricket.

You seen the documentary on Illingworth’s Ashes winning team in Australia in 1970/71? It’s class. One of the best sporting documentaries you’ll ever see.

The present day crowd of pussies masquerading as an England test team should be made watch it and it might give them some insight as to what the terms of engagement are on an Ashes tour in Australia with both the Australian team and supporters and what it takes to win down there.

Raining in Melbourne. Looking like a delayed start.

Only 16 degrees in Melbourne a toss for England to win and have a bowl

Broad for Leach would be handy if bowling first in those conditions. Weather is to be good after Day 1.

Australia win the toss and elect to bowl.

More poor captaincy from root losing the toss

3-0 to the Aussies England to be skittled out for less than 150

He can’t get anything right.

A stirring rendition of the English and Australian national anthem there.

Now for this Advance Australia Fair nonsense. It really should be discontinued.

David Gower in the commentary box. Thank God we don’t have any more of that abomination of an Australian commentary team.

The Aussies have disgusting racist Michael Vaughan on commentary. BT rightly sidelined him.

Hapless Hameed out for a duck.

I had advocated dropping Hameed instead of Burns. Burns despite such an ugly technique is a doughty enough scrapper.

Hameed with his hands so low is a walking wicket in Australia.
