His only sport was trying to guess which bloke was leaving his mother’s bedroom every morning.

Meh, that’s a very low quality reply. Have a proper go ya mug.
It’s hilarious Warner continues to make big bank and play well whilst you sit in WA hyperventilating 🤣🤣🤣🤣
His wins over you are legendary.

I was pretty good at a couple of sports between ages 16 -24 and I'm now 76 so it's soooo long ago and now irrelevant
Carried the bat once as an opener.Played state level junior hockey
When I was 24 got promoted overseas in job and spent 32 of 44 years working years living OS as an expat .All in all it was peanuts ! The sport I mean as once overseas I just became a watcher but admired those whose skill levels were way way above mine .Maybe I'm a blind admirer of tall poppies but that's my choice

I'm an admirer of plenty of tall poppies. Just not the ones that carry themselves like arseholes. My choice👍

They end up losing by a mere 434 runs .India's biggest run margin EVER
Amused by one of the pommie commentators saying the game had its ebbs and flows first one team with the upper hand then the other
Completely Delusional ! Or maybe another one of their moral victories !

They basically patted themselves on the back for playing positively...

Everyone goes on about the Bairstow thing, but their style of play is what is really arrogant. Because they either can’t or refuse to adjust to the match situation. Going back to the Ashes in the Lords Test. They were in a prime position at about 2-190 or thereabouts, about 220 behind the Aussies first innings when Lyon went down. So they got an even bigger advantage, which made them go even harder. Yet, as they lost wickets, they didn’t rein it in, they just kept going harder and harder and eventually got bowled out about 90 behind. Then when questioned about their tactics, got defensive and said that’s how they play

Special shout out to Joe Root. Great player, but goddamn he’s dumb. His dismissal in the first innings of the Test just played against India would rank top 3 in terms of the dumbest ways to get out in the history of Test cricket
 
Kiwis got away with bowling so many balls 3feet wide of the stumps and not called
Anyway Tim David with 31 off 10 balls wins it with a 4 on the last ball
They The NZ crowd are easily the most parochial crowd in world cricket
They would get upset if they copped the same treatment over here
Well we won again and crowd went silent again

Roots dismissal right up with the "nutmeg "
England believe they are the greatest team in the world and the 434 run loss and getting knocked out of the ODI world cup are simply strange anomalies

The english sports writers are among the most biased sports journalists that i have read and make our idiotic journalists look tame.There is no sport in the world that they dominate but they always crap on making out England are the best even when they suck

Yes the English scribes can be very one sided, but they save most of their venom for their own teams when they under perform. I think it may have been Freddie Flintoff saying that he was going to sneak home via Holland to avoid the press after a poor ashes tour down under
