Unbelievable sporting event unlike any other in the world.

This is the pinnacle of the cricketing sport played in the mother country.

In particular, one player, Steve Smith, has demonstrated one of the finest displays of character strength witnessed over the last decade.

He's not even 30 and has 10 Ashes centuries. At this point it's more than feasible he goes past Bradman's 19.

Thank you very much for that!

Greatest Test batsman since Bradman. Greatest bowler in the world right now. And Tim f***ing Paine has done what Ponting and Clarke couldn't: retain the Ashes in England.

Tim Paine, the Replacement, the Temporary Captain. First man since Steve Waugh to come home with the Ashes. Talk about a career turnaround. Guy was left for dead not that long ago.

Who? Starc? Hazlewood? Cummins? They're one of the all-time great fast bowling batteries, and Lyon has blossomed into arguably the best spinner in the world, but for me, the 3 best bowlers in the world right now are Bumrah, Rabada, and Rashid Khan.

Just going by what the ICC says. Cummins is currently rated as the number 1 Test bowler in the world.

Australian test Cricket Captain Tim Paine resignation in November 2021.

Sexting Scandal

https://youtu.be/2Ttoqp__IhQ

He said the sexting were consensual.

Roll the clock forward to Feb 2022. Lies!

Tim Paine is in trouble (again) as the woman at the centre of the sexting scandal claims texts were not consensual.

Other men in the same office also sexted her.

That is not sexting. That is institutional sexual harassment.

Irony of course being Tim Paine became captain for being the "nice guy" compared to SPD Smith.
