Who will win the Ashes?

Ferguson was all for it. Something about being around older players more so you grow up quicker and are more financially independent than other people of 18/20/25.

Divorce rates of pro footballers are mentally high.

I saw something about it, it is usually when the player retires. Basically the player and the wife are used to the player being away all the time. When they retire they are home far more and (if the wife doesn't work) they get under each others feet a lot more. That was what whichever ex player I saw this documentary about was blaming it on anyway, said virtually all the players he played with had been divorced at least once and usually more than that.

Stuart Broad is a weird one. Here are his batting stats year by year. How has he gone from 39.83 and 37.10 to 8.41 and 11.33

I get opposition have worked out he doesnt like the short ball but surely he has practised it in the nets?
He’s gone down hill since that hit to the head, and since it’s messed with him.
 
Didn't Nathan Lyons say something along the lines of ending peoples careers pre one series?

Typical Aussie nasty bollocks.

Kind of funny his own career is likely to be effectively ended by him fumbling that stumping. Funny as.

The Stokes leg before was bollocks too, it brushed his front leg before it hit his back leg, hawkeye just didn't pick it up.

Not out anyway.

Again, nice Karma all round.

Its great when Karma returns

Tim Paine has tried to change the Aussies conduct after years of being bad winners and sore losers. So fair play to him but people have long memories still
 
After going to hospital a month ago my granddad has just passed away.

He got me into cricket and was an old school English gentleman.

He wasn't able to walk in the end and I was desperate for something positive to happen in the Ashes as he had it playing in his room and was pretty much all he had to stop him getting bored.

That Ben Stokes innings and historic test win was his last experience of the Ashes.

Not a bad way to go!

RIP.

RIP mate. A great memory to take with you. A good mate of mine died recently. Huge cricket lover, and he missed both the final and Stokes' innings.

Thanks mate, sorry to hear your loss too.

I wanted to show my granddad the final on DVD but it wasn't to be.

Not sure he heard much of Stokes' innings as it happens but he did have the Ashes on to the end.
 
We were away for the last Test. Just watched the last hour on Sky Catch Up.

Stokes is already one of the greats. To engineer a 70+ partnership like that so the rabbit faces less than 20 balls is ridiculous.
