Lovely to see Pakistan absolutely thrash India 

Cricket governance has been farcical for years now, and the BCCI has been maneuvering politically and economically for years to crush Pakistan cricket.  This was a major fuck you :finger: 

Bloody over the moon. Sport finally seems to have turned a corner, all around :lol:

De Kock not playing today as refused to "take the knee", given the country he represents and it's very recent history, not sure that was a wise decision, no matter if you think it's right or wrong or personal choice.

Can’t understand why Mahmood wasn’t given a chance in the summer with one eye on the Ashes. Overton did ok in English conditions but we already know he’s not the type of bowler who does well down under.
 

Getting Stokes back is great for our batting but Archer is a bigger loss. His inclusion s might have given us half a chance. Robinson might do well with his accuracy and extra bounce but you really need a couple of bowlers who can regularly hit 90mph. We only have one in the squad and he struggles to stay fit for two consecutive tests. Aussies big favourites. I expect it to be 4-0 or 4-1

Nominative determinism.

At least with the Lions squad there, as well, giving them practice matches, it may show that Mahmood (or someone else) should be to the main squad. 

I agree about Overton.  We have too many similar players, and I don't see him getting a game unless there are a significant number of injuries.  Of course, he is reasonable with the bat, which is always a determining factor when you have a top 7 which is likely to fall in a heap.

Just listening about this racism thing at Yorkshire.  It's on TalkSport.  No surprises Jordan thinks there is nothing in it and we should just move on.

social media theories (i know, i know) suggesting that the extent to which YCC are embarrassing themselves by covering it up means it must be someone "big". 

hopefully YJB not Root

Could just simply be arrogance on their part. I.e. they seriously thought this report would exonerate them. Sounds daft but then you remember it is Yorkshire County Cricket Club
