Thank you.

That's true.

In case there's any confusion out there listening to the show about whether he goes in promoting NordVPN was referring to a visible panty line.

He wasn't.

It's a virtual private network.

Well, first thing to say about that, Stokes loves these situations.

Yeah.

I forgot about that.

He does.

Backs to the wall stuff.

Backs to the wall stuff.

He's personally excused himself from basketball.

Basketball is whatever Stokes does.

I just wanted to say that all series, Australia has been derided as...

workmanlike, lesser-talented group compared to the cavalier, talented, brilliant English opposition.

And it's increasingly clear that that frame speaks more about the fantasies of basball acolytes and is exactly the kind of sentiment that gives rise to the critique of

uh of this brand being one whose deluded self-aggrandizement implies ignorance of the opposition at best and disrespect of the opposition at worst um whether you call it talent ceilings capability or just being a good player to watch australia's bowlers today comprehensively dismantle england should settle any conversation about relative quality of both sides

And that should frankly embarrass anybody who has seriously contended that England is home to superior players in these conditions.

I think Australia is going to dust the fuck out of these guys and I will sit back with a glass of milk and enjoy it.

Ask TGC, yeah.
