Do all test pitches in Australia play the same ? No I have never said all countries doctor pitches. All our pitches are reasonably different, which is more than can be said in many other countries. I will say it, ALL countries doctor pitches. Your pitches are pretty much the same now.

No, it is fiction that the pitch had a distinct advantage to Australia. Now can you tell me when a visiting nation has EVER played some test matches in that country before playing the home side? 1912 :lol: thanks, shows my point quite well. I don't see how. I'm not surprised given history of your v...

Yes, you're confused. Do you need to be educated on the history of your own country and why the nickname applies to you pohms. Considering the convict who were brought here were english then as i stated no confusion for me. And they became the australian nation. I'm not surprised you're "confu...

Australia become a nation - 1st January 1901

before it was 6 British colonies.

1868 was when the last of the convicts from England to Australia

Travis Head MOM - from a non-convict state

poms claiming grassed catches again . counsel for the defence you may approach Gloves underneath the ball. Pakistani umpire gave it out. Third umpire gave it out. Defence didn't even need to work hard for that one. Aussies clutching at straws AGAIN. How is Joel Wilson still on the international cir...

That's about as easy of a test series as you'll see. Well, since England last year.

Would never put dirt in my pockets, it would stick to the mints Would you put sugar in your pocket though, we know Bancroft would. The mint one always makes me laugh. No proof this happened. No law against chewing on mints. If there was, why do aussies never mention ponting and chewing gum. Funny h...

His manager saying we will be shocked when the truth comes out. Apparently more than the 3 were involved. How is anyone shocked? 1. Smith told us so at the very start 2. Everyone surely knew the bowlers were in on it. Warner and his wife can shiraz off Candice makes Megan Markel look like a nice pe...

Forgot he was dropped, thought you were going to say he usually only needed one innings You went on the line of him being dropped when I bought it up .... but yes Smith did miss a portion of his test career and good to see Cricket Boards being harsh on it ..... Just dont forget when you have dirt i...

Smith 29th test century in 155 innings - third quickest to 29 test centuries Root is on 28 100's and has batted 228 innings How come Smith has played so few innings, did he drop out of the game for a while for some reason ? You did ask if he got dropped .... and yes he had .... seems like you're a ...

Just one of the great test wins, no one had the right to win on that pitch. This england side led by stokes just has something about it and a bravery that should be commended. They are making test cricket extremely relevant and unlike the Aussies (yes that's a dig at my own) they are capturing the i...

In the end England came out in the final session as the only team trying to win the game and eventually did.

"BazBall" certainly having some great result so far.

Another reason why England shouldn't have coaches from England ....

Only two Australian batsmen have gone through their test career never being dropped ..
Greg Chappell & Mark Taylor

All 3 results still in play - would be monumental for England to lose given the position they were in after day 1

so you ruled out a Tie ???

Early in test career , Smith was dropped after the 2010-11 season and didnt play test cricket for another 2 years....
Guess a lot players get dropped during their test careers

Probably because in Merseyside academy places are based on talent, in Adelaide they're based on your bank balance. Don't tell the parents that the private academies are just profit making businesses.... what pay $$$ to go to a Spanish private academy in the hope you will get noticed whilst playing ...

All just stats as you know. They mentioned on one of the games today that england have already scored more goals than they did when they won the cup in 1866

We didn't win the world cup until 1870.

Old Master will be able to confirm if you won it in 1870 .... He was a team manager back then

Unreal batting. No slogging just pure batting and without root doing anything. Bowling was poor and quick outfield but still a remarkable effort. Brook to me looks like a star in the making.

Smith 29th test century in 155 innings - third quickest to 29 test centuries

Root is on 28 100's and has batted 228 innings

Last night's game was the highest viewed program for the week on TV
