Decent recovery after 35-3. Will be a good test of the catching now…

Gross. And to mask it as ‘banter’? Ffs.

Was just about to say that. I can imagine it being something he’d say, masking it as being a joke but believing it. Ballance too: guess he felt too comfortable with their ‘friendship’ 😬

Also in other news, high school bullies everywhere are shocked to discover that their targets did not, in fact, enjoy it or think it was "just a bit of fun".
High school bullies and... people who just haven't grown up yet.

Does this "locker room" culture exist in sports in Europe etc? Seems to be a predominantly English-speaking preserve. It needs to die.

What really puzzles me is how many people still choose to defend it. Like it's just tradition and therefore can't (and shouldn't) be changed.

It definitely exists in NZ and Australia. Though in the club sides rather than the international teams where it's been pretty much stamped out.
Edit - Reading a bit more I don't remember anyone pissing on my head, though we definitely vomited on each other.
The world has changed a lot in 20 - 30 years but it was pretty rife when I played club cricket.

Yeah, I think Britain, NZ, Oz and US it seems pretty common. Just wondered if the French Sat/Sunday leagues were the same. In some ways a bit if bants and teasing is character building. It's a fine line though, and obviously racism isn't on at all (although can imagine it's very common in football at amateur level, not that I experienced it really)

Uh-oh. I think England could still go out if they implode?

Ah fuck BT Sport announced they've got exclusive UK broadcast rights for the winter Ashes tour again.
Nothing against BT Sport particularly it just pains me to pay even more on top of my Sky costs for a temporary sub to be able to watch it. Watching the Boxing Day test in the early hours of the morning in your dressing gown is one of the pleasures of the Christmas break. (And usually England get thrashed of course)

Yeah, not sure why Boxing Day at the MCG is such a fabled things for England fans. It's always shit.
