Don't know why we have painted ourselves into a corner over this - bring in Foakes FFS
Well you admit to not being a big follower but still like to make an Ill-informed comment. The Aussies are actually cheats but just not in this instance. I think most people have moved on from this controversy & it probably didn’t effect the overall outcome of the game.Cricket, strange game. I'm not a big follower so I thought it was quite funny actually. The decision was absolutely clear within the rules and correctly called. Calling the Aussies cheats is loutish behaviour IMO. No wonder they hate the whinging Poms!
He’s actually played very well & been incredibly unlucky, especially in the first test. So yes, you seem to be missing quite a lotBrooks looks a one trick pony to me (admittedly I’ve only seen the first two Ashes test so maybe I’m missing something?) - the Aussies have sussed him out and he won’t increasing that average imo.

He's scored 950 test runs and 4 centuries in his first 6 or so matches at an average of nearly 70, including centuries away in Pakistan. If you want someone with a better start to their test career your two options are, <checks notes>, Sunil Gavaskar and Don Bradman.
I reckon I could make a bomb selling sandpaper to the queing fans at headingley.. hmm.
Despite our differences chaps, it's all set up for a belting first session on Thursday. I can't wait.
The only way to stop being a bag of nerves is to play. Crawley was a big bag but looks to be a bit more settled now.
