Cricket

It's all culture war all the time.

It should also be ignored so as not to lose sight of what's at stake.

You need brain cells for this, is the thing.

Also very suspicious how it ended up all over the newspapers today.

Right. Nothing new about it.

I promise you, *nothing* can prepare you for Jordan Peterson on Azeem Rafiq #bbcqt pic.twitter.com/FIuQnW7S8r

this fucking clown

Asking a Canadian benzedrine addict to talk about cricket. Good work, BBC.

gosh imagine if you were one of these journalists that was stanning for him as a leading public intellectual a few years back. He's thick as pigshit.

almost as much fun as when they had that other Canadian prick, Malcolm Gladwell, telling us what is wrong with the NHS.

"nothing can prepare you for Peterson on Rafiq"

Log on to ilx and watch LJ talk about culture war. It isn't that far off Peterson's "oh no pitting group against group isn't going to help destroy the racism".

Alex Hale: "It wasn't racist when I blackfaced up because it was a tribute to my black hero, Tupac"

Lol, I was nodding along with everyone else on the panel. Man’s a ranting mess.

He's a drug addict who was in a coma for months so, yes, he's a perfect choice for BBC's flagship political debate show.

Fucksake

But not entirely unexpected

Pretty hilarious.

nah, not hilarious. irritatingly to-the-script

strong "lol england" vibes, gotta love it

wait until both teams have had a bat tomorrow, and Australia are 300-4, and we'll see who's laughing then

oh well you will have the initial excitement of D. Warner throwing away his wicket needlessly at least

Cameron Green 80 ball century will be the real sickener

strong "lol england" vibes, gotta love it

you do not get a vote

meanwhile, lol bangladesh

At least Warner didn’t get a century.

NOW you may lol England

Australia 7/343 at the Gabba? A great days work! Wait, it says day two- time to sit down with a mug of coffee and see what I missed on the first day

Cameron Green 80 ball century will be the real sickener

close enough!!!!

Lol that prediction was both extremely wrong and yet extremely right

hah yes, well done Trav!

Can we just come home now please?

Shocked to learn that picking an all-seamer bowling attack has backfired on England.

PATO

...ehh whatever, I can't even be mad. The only thing I'm genuinely furious about is that Foakes and our two legspinners have flown back to England already

dismal.

Just fly them back now and spare us any further embarrassment.

Statement from @englandcricket

The England team and management are currently at the team hotel awaiting results of RFT COVID tests following a positive test in the team’s family group.#BBCCricket #Ashes

Aye, right.

Good of England to raise our hopes and then get to 22/4.

PSA: don't cheer for the wrong team when you're in India

https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-asia-india-59702427

the world's shyest, humblest bloke has just taken a six-fer against england in 21 balls

much more of this and he'll be holding forth like mcgrath

Truly pathetic.

pretty decent career strike rate for Scott Boland imo

Here are the lowest scores of a side winning by an innings.

First time it's happened in test cricket since 1986 and Pakistan were facing prime WI bowling.

Sorry just looking at the top 10, which this slots into.

You've got to hand it to England, when they fail they fail big.

Scott Boland's 6/7 but it's set to Lou Reed's 'Perfect Day' #Ashes pic.twitter.com/bnR970oUqw

Which Lou Reed song could accompany the England batting performance, I wonder, "Temporary Thing"?

Could have done with this a few tests ago.

Finding it really difficult to listen to Test Match Special right now because Alex Hartley sounds exactly like an annoying precocious 10 year old schoolboy.

Great to see a lol england collapse take place in the Apple Isle at last!

lol at Holder not realising he’d taken four wickets in four balls for about thirty seconds.

Cricket lovely cricket
In Barbados Jason Holder in four balls did take four wickets
<parp parp pa-pa-pa parp parp>

Feeling better now SV?
