The Ashes 2021/22

[Lord Camomile]

The really shitty thing about a poor match is I quite like going to sleep to sports, of which TMS is up there at the top, so if matches finish early I miss out on that.

That's the real problem here

Mark Waugh too

Former Australian quick Brett Lee described the selection call as "absolutely crazy".

"Twelve times he's been dismissed, David Warner, by Stuart Broad," Lee said.

"And in the last series, 2019 over in the UK, David Warner out seven times, faced 104 deliveries and only scored 35 runs.

No worries. I've heard Anderson and Broad are certs for the 2nd Test.

They're going to leave out Root and Stokes instead.

You see, we're in their heads! They've no idea what's going on, it's a stroke of genius!

watching this tonight is just going to depress me isn't it

That's why I listen to TMS with the lights off

asleep

 

[Balbi]

Weather is still looking dodgy.

 

[two sheds]

It's started

 

[RileyOBlimey]

So ideal conditions for batting, clear skies, relief of no Broad, scoring runs briskly from the off by the barely dangerous deliveries from nice chap Woakes.

Root must have caused upset within the team, for numerous reasons.

 

[Petcha]

What the actual fuck. Woakes and Robinson opening the bowling while Jimmy and Broad are carrying the drinks. Still can't quite believe it.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Anyone have a decent stream?

 

[RileyOBlimey]

…especially as they say old seamers need overs, not rest to lengthen their career.

[RileyOBlimey]

Hopefully that shit first over has made woakes understand he’s not an enforcer.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Ta.

 

[RileyOBlimey]

Will Wood be any good? Can he do his share of the work?

 

[RileyOBlimey]

Why would you play Woakes in Oz? He’s great in England mind.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Will Wood be any good? Can he do his share of the work?

He'll be fast. He always is. Beyond that, dunno. He does have a magic spell in him.

Wood's fair share is smaller than the others'. Crucial not to over bowl him.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Warner is looking ominously good. Very decisive.

 

[Petcha]

Why would you play Woakes in Oz? He’s great in England mind.

They showed a graphic before showing that he averages 58 in australia. 22 in england. and hes opening the bowling in australia.

 

[RileyOBlimey]

Robinson takes it up the Harris!

 

[littlebabyjesus]

First one!

 

[BristolEcho]

Nice early wicket. Going to try and go asleep to it.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Good catch. Need to hold on to everything today.

 

[RileyOBlimey]

Here’s hoping Steve Smith gets struck by lightning…

 

[two sheds]

Good move playing Robinson we've all said so

 

[RileyOBlimey]

Stokes is looking in good shape, hopefully this translates well in his bowling.
