The Ashes 2023

Daft review. Duckett wasn't looking convincing tbh, was expecting a top edge to slip though.
 
It takes a special sort of idiot to actually pay (and probably pay a lot) to experience cricket in a foreign country in that way. They don't even seem to cheer or celebrate, they just there like identical drones. Is this a new thing this tour? Can't remember seeing it before.

Nah they always do it. They all turn up in coaches too, must be some package thing.
 
There are two rivals gangs of Australian tourists. One is led by Jason Gillespie and the other by Merv Hughes I think.
 
Why is Moeen blocking and leaving. Surely the reason he's been sent out there is to wallop it.

The bowling is good atm. England have time on their side, they should be looking to tire the bowlers out and wait for the bad balls.

If they wanted someone to do that then just send out Root or Brook. Ali was basically sent out as a designated hitter in baseball parlance. And then blocked it.
 
Australia have set a proper field instead of switching between everyone up or everyone on the boundary. Cover point has probably saved 20 runs already.
 
Crawley is most frustrating not for his stupid scores of 8 or 18 but because of the times he’s the second or third highest scoring batsman in the team. You’d think that’s when he’d be most worthy of praise, but of course the whole nature of cricket is that you have to make hay when your personal sun is shining. And he never seems to.

He's frustrating because he's obviously a very talented batsman. It must be his mental strength they need to work on.
 
At stumps last night the sky win predictor said 75% England

It must be in Australia’s favour now
