Mostly sport, some politics, general life observations. Will engage in respectful debate with whomever
Penalties don't kick in if the innings doesn't last min 80 overs, so as long as we get the last wicket within 6 overs tomorrow we're good for now

NB 74 overs in a day is pathetic though

Slow over rate penalties only kick in if the innings lasts min 80 overs; so Poms have to bat for another 6 overs tomorrow before Aus will be fined & lose WTC points

A more likely scenario 🤣

I've been saying for several years it shoukd be runs or wickets penalty in the match it occurs - it needs to have an impact on their chances of winning that match
December 4, 2025 at 11:48 AM
Well they've passed 300 and still not. If declares to get just one over at us, that seems like unnecessary nonsense
December 4, 2025 at 11:16 AM
It is and they do get penalized World Test Championships points for slow over rates.

But we are deliberately going even slower now to avoid batting tonight

Right? Like what are they actually waiting for? Archer to get to 20?
December 4, 2025 at 11:07 AM
Stokes can declare any time he likes
December 4, 2025 at 11:07 AM
No - everyone else does
December 4, 2025 at 11:00 AM
Someone has to help take the catches, so can we have Carey as well?
December 4, 2025 at 10:55 AM
True that

I think they'll be fine in regards their friendship. But the entire thing was completely unnecessary
December 4, 2025 at 10:36 AM
Fair enough too - I won't resist
December 4, 2025 at 10:05 AM
Not the whole day
December 4, 2025 at 9:55 AM
Yes
December 4, 2025 at 9:51 AM
And something they actually care about like winning vs losing
