I honestly think they will you know.
Was it any other series I'd agree with you, but this is the Ashes and the only thing the Aussie love more than beating the Poms is humiliating them!

Archer is sharp but mid to late 80s rather than 90+ every day

If you are going to make accusations based on a newspaper then quote important “facts” from the articles.

For Instance:

“She quickly decided that if she reported to the police she would need some kind of proof and took [Hayne’s] undergarment in case there was need for testing,” The court documents allege.

Had supposed evidence but still didn’t report it for 6 months...

Somethings smells fishy and it’s not Haynes undergarments.

If he has done anything then string him up but please have solid evidence first... They didn’t proceed because there wasn’t sufficient evidence. Hayne fully cooperated with the district Attorney regarding the investigation.

If only there had been a news story or two this year that might explain why victims of sexual abuse often feel scared to come forward...

An interesting article written by an Australian in an Australian paper.

On a big topic that I think was flown under the radar a bit - until the ashes was won.

I love watching Australia beat the poms. I'll admit too, i enjoy the spectacle of seeing Australia beat up on the poms. But its not always comfortable viewing. Watching a brave but obviously fearful anderson facing the short ball was compelling but a little too visceral than i was prepared for. Im not so sure i should feel that way watching cricket. Maybe im just getting older. If its the quickest/only way to victory then its victory at all costs. And the first two words of that article reminds us of how great that cost can be.  :(

Would never ever want victory at all costs  no matter what's at stake it's a recipe for  disaster.

Curran will be playing in Melbourne apparently.
I am delighted for him. I suspect that he may hasten the end of Broad's career.

Good to hear if true, although worry that he's not quite sharp enough at present for the top level. Broad is suffering from a technical problem I think, so hopeful that a drop leading to some hard work could see him back at his best.

"It was this law that Anderson tried to bring to umpire Marais Erasmus' attention one day in Brisbane, not on his own behalf, but that of Jake Ball, who had just copped five bouncers in a row. Erasmus took no action."

Maybe Erasmus was worried about Test cricket's popularity and wanted to give kids something to watch.

What absolute fluff.

Go on to You Tube and type in Freddie Flintoff bouncer and see what you find. Watch him repeatedly hit Brett Lee on the body to the cheers of the English crowd.

Matter of fact, its probably why Freddie was so well respected by the Australian cricketing public. Big, fearless, prepared to have a go, prepared to intimidate the oppo when needed.

The article says that Ewen Chatfield swollowed his tongue. This is medically impossible, although I'm sure it was a very upsetting incident.

If the umpires in this series haven't been protecting England's tail why are we not giving it back to the Aussie tail? They might not be quite as quick, but I'm sure the umpires would do something if we just bowled bouncers at them.

The only people that would be in danger if England did that would be those in the crowd...
