  • Bit biased towards England

    Been listening to these guys for 5 years and at its best when butcher on as he’s the most objective. I find Yas biased towards England so he probably needs to reflect and adjust on that point

  • Pompous?.. not me

    Lovely irony from Phil Walker while berating those who still feel a win at the MCG does not make up for a series, we should have won, being lost in 11 days! Calling them “sanctimonious” and “pompous” then suggesting “please go and read a book”! Brilliant! Under the guise that anyone who wants us to get better and win a five test series, let alone an away Ashes series or challenge for the WTC, should go and read a book, does he have any recommendations?
