The Ashes 25/26

[StanSP]

No wickets in first 4 overs and some solid shots by Duckett. What's happening here?!

I just can't take Boland seriously

It's a bit of practice in Australia. Works wonders. Someone tell Key.

[filbertway]

Is this the best start yet?

 

Duckett nearly got himself in trouble playing a high one, but other than that its seemed like sensible batting

[trabuch]

ugh

 

[StanSP]

Ah there it is. 

[filbertway]

Aghh

 

Going about 5 miles wide, nice haha

[trabuch]

It's so easy to get him out

This is starting to look like test cricket. Hope I wake up to a Crawley 100.

Umpires call on hitting the stumps but he didn't look convinced in reviewing! Luckily you get to keep it...

Ahhh, I didn’t see it was umpires call! At least we get to keep the review then - just assumed it was a foregone conclusion as looked plumb to me!

And Bethell now gone. Same old story isn’t it - losing wickets in clumps.

Screen cap of a recent conversation.

After the madness of the Boxing Day test, this is all rather cosy. Tucked up in bed. Radio on and settling down to listen to the gentle pitter patter of England wickets falling. 

[trabuch]

I absolutely hate this England (and Leicester) team. Sport has gone to absolute **** as far as I am concerned. Mind you I had a lot of fun in the last 20 years or so. Night all.

Of course the toddler decided to get up 2 minutes before they came off... 

[Lcfc-1992]

Another Root 100 would be a nice way to end this poor series

[Super_horns]

Good platform set by Root and Brook after the usual dodgy start .

[The Year Of The Fox]

Nice to wake up to only a partial collapse

[leicsmac]

Good start, would be nice if this team could actually make the most of it tomorrow.

If only Harry Brook could learn to use his exceptional talent this productively on a regular basis. Fabulous player and great to watch him be a little more reserved and not fall into the traps set.

Done it again .

 

Poor shots and finally out .

 

Stokes gone - but was harsh maybe ?

Peach of a delivery from Starc to get Stokes out.

Think it was much clearer than previous ones that caused controversies...
