What annoys me the most is how the Aussies mispronounce his name, yet in the 2000s Wallabies fans/commentators were fine with saying Jannes Labuschagne correctly.

It is at his insistence that it is Labuschange like Champagne. The Hyacinth Bucket of test cricket.

His family gave up because Australians

Funny how that aussie all rounder Green(?) came out to bat and got bowled by Ben from Chch second ball. The aussie comms could only squeeze in a couple of minutes of fapping about how good he is. Then they went on about Stokes being the English Talisman. Ha give me Neil from Pretoria anyday. We loves Wags

Loves

Quite understandable, really. The name would have come from French (boscage = woodland) and then butchered into Afrikaans along the way.

Wouldn't have started out as "Lah-boo-skuhk-knee", fer shure.

And that's the innings....

Marcus Harris runs off, eager to bat, like the slow kid who thinks the bullies aren't just laughing at him as they send him out for sacrificial lamb duties.

I think you’ll get your wish.

England did well in the first session, then were really, really poor in the second and third.

This is Australia team are very solid, than rather great. But they are far too good for this disorganised, demotivated England rabble.

Stokes won't make Melbourne at this rate

His head is still all over the place, I suspect. I think he will be given time off once Australia have secured the urn.
