The ashes 2023

[Super_horns]

I won't comment as probably jinx this partnership!

Need this pitch to deteriorate pretty quickly over night if we are gonna get these out twice surely?

[RonnieTodger]

I slag Sky Sports off a lot but their cricket coverage is sensational. 

[EastAnglianFox]

Just as we get on top again ffs 

[ARTY_FOX]

It's a shame it's played out the way it has at stages but it looked like it was going to be alot worse at one point.

Really is perfect isn't it.

 

Even when they lose people like Bumble, Holding and of course Shane Warne. It stays absolutely immaculate.

 

As does TMS.

[Simmo86]

Still need to get 350 minimum.

 

No chance that neither one of Smith or Marnus don't make a massive score on this pitch.

[BigWesMorgan]

400 is probably a good score here

[RowlattsFox]

Shows hiw difficult it is to play positively all time, you give opportunities to take wickets. The games moves faster when England are batting, either way. 

 

400 as a minimum is essential. 

[RonnieTodger]

These stumpings are just daft

[Corky]

Poor from Moeen. We have to get 400+.

[BigWesMorgan]

Dreadful shot

[Milky]

Brainless 

[ealingfox]

More stupidity

[EastAnglianFox]

We'll be bowling tonight having scored 300+...on day 1 

[RowlattsFox]

Looks great until you get out doesn't it. Not pretty. 

[Milky]

Read the game

[AKCJ]

All for putting the foot down and entertaining.

 

But two stumpings in 30 minutes points to ****ing brain dead cricket.

 

It's day one for **** sake. Its an absolute road and we had the chance to bat Australia out of the game.

 

Aussies will be laughing their arses off.

[kingkisnorbo]

Ostensibly, what I’d categorise as ‘bazball’ has cost us very cheap wickets today. 

[RowlattsFox]

It's going to be hard as a cricket fan to accept these types of wickets. Sometimes it won't work. Can only judge at the end of the series. 

[RonnieTodger]

I’m happy with the aggressive shots, but constantly running down the track is asking for trouble.

 

Ffs I’m meant to be going to Day 4

Australia will score at 4 an over tomorrow with less than half of the stupidity we have seen today. That's why they're World Test champions.

[StanSP]

Root

What a shot. 

[FoxyLeon]

Can't expect anything less from Moeen Ali. English cricket must be dead if you're bringing him back from retirement. Every time I watch him play he looks nervous and levels below every other player out there. Mcgrath's 5-0 looks a decent bet right now.
