The ashes 2023

[Finnegan]

Just catching up. That Wood wicket is enough to give you a chubby. What an unbelievably satisfying ball. 

[StanSP]

Bairstow again! Dropped. 

[filbertway]

Why is this useless knob actually anywhere near international cricket

 

[AKCJ]

What the **** are we doing? Twice this morning now.

 

Stop pissing around. Give the gloves to our best keeper. Not rocket science.

[StanSP]

Umpire gave it byes

 

[ealingfox]

Cost us any chance of winning this series.

[Guest Lako42]

He's garbage behind the pegs. 

 

Bet we lose the test on a fine margin

 

[Bobby Hundreds]

Like having Danny Ward behind the stumps.

[StanSP]

Smith gone! Thinnest of inside edges. 

[SickoDicko]

Great catch Jonny

[Guest Lako42]

Hahaha

 

If he'd dropped that they should put him down at lunch 

[Ted Maul]

Bairstow probably cost us the first test in the end. Got away with Smith only adding 18 here. Let's hope shelling that dolly off Head won't cost much either.

[leicsmac]

Damn good session after putting them in, but could have been even better.

[AKCJ]

Mark Wood has been sensational. Seriously on it. Got it swinging about at 95mph.

I look forward to not being able to see the ball on Sunday 

[Voll Blau]

I know we've no choice but to bring him in because of the deficit, but I really hope we can keep Wood fit. He could turn this series.

 

Think/hope they've learned their lessons from over bowling Archer. Seem to have rotated him well so far.

[ealingfox]

Smith must have known he'd nicked that, had to be reviewing more out of hope than expectation the arrogant prat.

Yep.

 

Having his ego get in the way helps us there.

[leicsmac]

Can't keep putting down these catches.

[SickoDicko]

Catches win you the game for me 2 dolly's today gone down should be into the tail

[Bobby Hundreds]

Comms just said that was our 13th drop or missed stumping. That’s rotten against any team, let alone in an Ashes series with such fine margins.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Ted Maul]

All the talk about Bazball and whether we've been too cavalier but we'd probably be 2-0 up if we took all our chances. Got to get the basics right.

[trabuch]

Bairstow will cost us the ashes.

England's catching has been pretty poor thought the series. 

[trabuch]

Great catch by Bairstow (off the thigh pad!)
