The Ashes 2023

This is just stupid now.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Except that one.... which he caught

 

[planetgeli]

On the plus side, talk is Root's golf game has improved massively.

 

[planetgeli]

Jeez he only just held that

 

[Wilf]

Chin music time?

 

[planetgeli]

Bit too quick for Mr Starc

 

[planetgeli]

Far out

 

[Wilf]

Aw, c'mon Aussies, make a contest of it.

 

[Spymaster]

Shame kabbes is missing this

 

[Wilf]

'Same old Aussies, always losing'.

 

[JimW]

Well, that escalated quickly.

 

[kabbes]

Shame kabbes is missing this

Er, yeah. Missing it. That’s right.

 

[kabbes]

Definitely sticking to that line

 

[planetgeli]

That was Archer/Smith territory there. Carey shit himself.

 

[kabbes]

Man of principle, me. Word is bond

 

[Wilf]

Might be a wee bit early to write this match off, but it felt like England's chance to get back into the series went this afternoon. Sorta slipped through their fingers.

I hope you all appreciate my Petcha-esque post there.

 

[brogdale]

Shame to see Carey twatted like that, then out next ball

 

[brogdale]

Brilliant stuff from Wood

 

[Spymaster]

Well that was fun.

 

[Wilf]

This next 90 minutes is going to a challenge so, ideally, don't do the cross bat Bazball ultra thing.

 

[brogdale]

They need to channel the spirit of Chris Tavare

 

[planetgeli]

Why are all the Aus fielders on the fence? Defensive as hell.

 

[planetgeli]

That was a nothing wicket. Dunno what Duckett was doing.

Looks pretty normal to me.

4 slips, deep gully, mid-on, mid-off, mid wicket, fine leg.

 

[planetgeli]

Fuckity fuck

 

[QueenOfGoths]

If only England caught like Australia!!

 

[Elpenor]

If only England caught like Australia!!

Englands catching has given the Aussies a way above par score tbh

That wasn't the field when I typed my post. Eoin Morgan has just addressed the point. Different plans for different batsmen.

 

[brogdale]

Tavare would still be waiting patiently for his 1st single

He always had a very precise moustache.
