Porn with Ash Gardner. The issue with Australia’s beating is that there is always someone who scored runs even in his worst days.

A serious innings by Ash Gardner to bring his young woman to the World Cup. Australians were in trouble, although it has given the bowlers something to defend. For anyone who rarely smiles, I loved celebration.

Ash Gardner is ridiculous. The terrible nature of the side of Australian women – they are a Swiss army knife, they only require 1 out of 7 to hit them well and have 300 on boards. #CWC25
