Ashes 2025-26 Fantasy League.

That must be Steve Smith then, given they are all Aussies. Not Jamie...

Honest Joe has to score runs in Australia one day.

[Durhamfootman]

always pick the opposition spinner in an England bilateral

Lyon

[Arthur Crabtree]

I'm thinking there's a long pause before the announcement of the name, to build up suspense...

[Durhamfootman]

Hitchcock ain't in it

Yes, Steve Smith

[Durhamfootman]

and for me too

Sandpaper Smitty (I've got something in my eye, is all)

[Arthur Crabtree]

Theme to Psycho is playing in my head.

[Durhamfootman]

ah, okay..... it never builds my tension ahead of Strictly, because I have better things to do, so I've no idea why i thought it would work here


Honest Joe *
Ursula von der Lyon
Got something in my eye Smitty
Green sleeves
Cummins and goings

Talking Head
Hannibal Haze

(just a pity there is no Aussie Jones or I could gone with Thaddeus too)

I'm all in!

[Durhamfootman]

I suppose I could go with Thaddeus Joe*

although as a Hannibal Haze and Kid Curry gag, its so weak that Trump wouldn't get it, Putin wouldn't bomb it, Truss wouldn't crash it and the BBC would probably turn it into a sitcom and make out like it was the funniest gag line ever.... a new job for 'Claud' ia

[Durhamfootman]

harsh on the bbc though... ITV would use it as a masked gag show, dress it up as a carrot, stick a funny head on it, pay Ross to say "well I think it could be Taylor Swift" and get Davina to wet her pants over it live on Saturday night

so they're all as bad as each other

[Durhamfootman]

I'll leave your thread alone now.... that's the second time I've highjacked it... maybe even the third

sorry!
