Re: President Biden and US politics catchall
When the trial ends in a hung jury and the prick walks away with no punishment - he will coast into the Whitehouse - get pardoned and live the rest of his life in extreme wealth and comfort. Laws don't apply to trump - and the US doesn't have a justice system that works against folk like trump. When...

Re: What's going on in Ukraine?
So is it safe to say that Ukraine has now been ground down by the waves of Russian flesh targets to a point where they are allowing areas to be taken in order to save Ukrainian lives? Bleak all round I'd imagine. The abandonment of Ukraine from some areas of the West is repugnant - I hope a few pol...

Re: The Official Cricket Thread
Is this the last season for Southee? Last 8 tests (including 2 against a really weak South African C team) 6/428 - basically three quarters of a wicket every 54 runs.

What an absolute shame.

If you can get out in front in these conditions then you should be able to lead the whole way.
I thought I heard one of the commentators say that the air disturbs around a kilometre down the course - that is the benefit of the lead position. That is crazy.

Probably write this test off as the practise test - no warm up and Banger conditions are even more challenging than India.
