I can't believe the Poms are being so sanctimonious about this when there is so much evidence of them doing the same thing. Some of the articles are fabulous.

Merv Hughes is copping it big time on twitter - some of his responses are classic. Piers Morgan tweeted him and asked him to come on his show. Merv replied that I had already declined privately so what was he trying to achieve by putting it on social media.

So funny, clearly they are deflecting, as the noise on their performance was rising and rising at home, from the frothing tabloids, haha
- playing at home
- won 2 tosses out of 2
- Bazball, it's a revolution, but not working anymore (worked against Ireland lol)
- tailor-made pitches to Stokes' request
- having the best of batting and bowling conditions in each Test, but losing
- sitting at 0-2 staring at the first home Ashes series loss since 2001

Loving how example after example of the hypocrisy is getting brought out, each getting explained away as "different" haha.
Piers Morgan is a clown, not worth Merv's time of day. or anyones.

Funnily enough until recently I had no idea who Piers Morgan actually was, I assumed he was a bad comedian until I learnt some consider him a Journalist of sorts

Maybe your first assumption was spot on! He also appeared in Trumps Apprentice programme. Maybe he won?

I actually think Piers Morgan is brilliant and no holds barred. I watch lots of the short videos on Youtube. I like it when someone calls it how it should be called without the sugar coating that's ruined society.

The interview with Sir Geoffrey Boycott was brilliant. He makes some really good points including MS Dhoni in same situation some years ago.

"Cricket fans recollected the decision of MS Dhoni to recall English batter Ian Bell after a controversial run-out in the 2011 Nottingham Test between England and India. Dhoni has later won the ICC Spirit of Cricket Award for the Decade following a fan vote for his decision to recall Ian Bell."

The only good youtube clip with Piers Morgan is Brett Lee peppering him in the nets lol

my favourite story

Stephen Fry was on a UK comedy program where they had to give an alternative meaning to a word.

He got countryside - his answer - the murder of Piers Morgan.

Piers Morgan just likes to shock people for the effect

One of the best cricket TV shows ever made is (almost) impossible to watch

It was 90 years ago, but given the events at the Ashes this past week, what could be more timely?

Morgan has admitted to listening to voice messages of people hacked by his newspaper - he has no morals at all

Someone here at home said their decision to send Aus in might be vindicated if they were 5/ at lunchtime. If Bairstow was a decent keeper....

Wood is quite impressive. Nice ball to get Khawaja.
