Shows hundreds of people are choosing deliberately not to sing most of the time then. That's more a comment on them than it is on UFS. Fair play to them for leaving as a group. Can anyone honestly say they would do differently if they were attacked in the ground and the club/cops just let their attacker enjoy the rest of the game?

That's the whole point, champ.

I've seen first hand how violent these otherwise completely docile freaks can get if you dare boo off a team who've got themselves relegated. Their commitment to defending a billionaire who doesn't give a shit about them is something else.

Given how difficult the club make it now, I doubt anyone would think it's worth buying as a present.

I'd be astounded if the bloke knew the numerical difference between a million and a billion.

My personal favourite...

The correct attitude.

Hope the big fan groups get behind this, though we can all look forward to the ChatGPT statement from the obvious one that won't...

Nearly 5k at Hednesford v FC United.

Reluctantly agree. He just (rightly) annoys people because of the way he came by a Test berth in the first place and his inability to deal with the technical issue that costs him his wicket in the early overs time after time.

He was. He just doesn't care about anything that involves sucking up to the current regime.

Watched the highlights back and I'm really not having the pitch was *that* bad. Even the couple that spat up at Labuschagne weren't off a length suggesting anything other than a little bit of bite. Bowlers deserve a bit more credit and the batters a bit less.

I wish! Mate's there but he's from Northampton.

Probably my favourite UK derby to watch on TV. Glad I caught the end of that one.

Didn't get that sense from TMS, unless I was mishearing things?

Got a mate there in with the Barmies. Some good pics and vids coming in.

Ha! No matter how I might feel about the ECB, I'll take any win over the Aussies. Can't stand losing to them. The fans and best cricket journos will still remember what a shambles this tour has been overall.

Buzzing for the fans who were there. Just frustrating as it shows this could have been a really great series if England had made the right squad picks and prepared better.

Still feel thos could be close...

Your hunch was right...

Leicester shirt in the crowd just then.

TNT just describing this as a "roller coaster of an Ashes so far". How did they manage to find seemingly the only broadcasters in the country who've never visited a cricket match... or a theme park?!

Next time you're there, try the selection in Harborough Stores on Northampton Road.

Says they could have played a Shield or Australia A side at the MCG - and could have trained at the WACA if they wanted. Both better prep than what they actually did.

They offered England a competitive first-class game before the series. Even the Aussies knew how undercooked we were. https://www.thecricketer.com/Topics/ashes-premium/england_first_class_game_test_ground_ashes_warmup_option_cricket_australia_ceo.html?t=639015421741065161
