    On Sky they are talking about the Women’s Ashes series starting tomorrow. So, exactly which ‘ashes’ are these that they are talking about?

    I know the story about where the ‘ashes’ for the men’s series came from. Can’t say that I can say the same about the women’s ashes.

    Looks like today is one of those 'watch Steve Smith bat all day' sessions. Depressingly familiar.

    Smith's mother was born in London and he has dual British and Australian citizenship.

    Turns out Bazball = rely on Joe Root to do everything. Poor guy, when averaging 50 with the bat isn't enough.

    Is this crap still on again?

    As if the transfer window didn't already feel slow enough, this rubbish just adds to the pain. It's like life is in slow motion.

    It looks like it. They are playing like a bunch of pussies. Steve Smith more English than the England captain <laugh>

    But you're not impressed with any aussie superiority at cricket as you don't rate the game. So what you banging on about? :emoticon-0126-nerd:

    Mate, I'm an England cricket fan. There is no mental anguish you can put me through that hasn't been inflicted on me by our Test side over the years.
