The ashes 2023

I also think Rehan offers as much with the bat as Ali does. Let's hope they pick him for the second test!

[StanSP]

Warner gone! Nicks off Robinson. 

 

Important to break that stand. 

[Simmo86]

Need at least one more before the end or just stop them scoring so freely

Few things more irksome in sport than the forced, practiced batting ticks of Australians. Labuschagne and Smith particularly insufferable.

Lol.

If they're among the most irksome things in sport for you, you're a lot less irked by modern sport than I am.

Game on!

[Super_horns]

Good period of play for England!

[trabuch]

Just two more this evening - Smith and Khawaja. Come on cricket gods - it's not asking much.

[trabuch]

Joyful stuff.

[yorkie1999]

If they can just keep Khawaja off strike.

[Osavo]

Absolutely love a Stuart Broad spell like this!

[trabuch]

What a match.

[Simmo86]

Tomorrow should be fun! 

[Bert]

With the forecast for tomorrow and the wickets we have taken tonight, England are slight favourites. What a day we have in store. £25 for a ticket tomorrow. 

[Lionator]

This game has been absolutely crazy. Just when you think one team is pulling away, the other has come back.

[purpleronnie]

That was another great day of cricket.

[Osavo]

Absolutely superb test cricket. Khawaja holds the key tomorrow for me. On a knife edge.

Board can do some damage 

This is not the football section..

Imagine if Khawaja got out first before Boland tomorrow. 

 

Hopefully weather doesn't ruin what could be a great day's cricket tomorrow. May not start on time but hope there's not too much of a delay...

I don't think it will be a draw now. The delay might force Australia to push on more than they would have liked. Can't wait.

Must just depend on how much rain will affect it. Especially if it's stop and start. 

[Bordersfox]

Bit of cloud cover please for Broad mi'lord. 

[RowlattsFox]

The way this test match has gone it will probably be Boland hitting a century. 

[Izzy]

Another highlight of a wonderful days cricket

I’ve just been watching Bothams Ashes of 1981 on YouTube. 
 

I remember watching it at the time (as a very young kid, obviously) 😬 and thinking it was special. But to see it back is amazing. 
 

My cricket growing up, by the way, was watching fast bowlers and about 8 slips…whatever happened to that?
