The Ashes 2023

Actually, yeah on second thought get to 600, then think about declaring.

 

[JimW]

Let Anderson get his ton too.

 

[Spymaster]

Now we need that overturned to really piss the Aussies off!

 

[QueenOfGoths]

TMS have christened 9 players on the boundary the "Cummins Field"

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Well that was incredible.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Oh Bairstow

 

[WhyLikeThis]

Anderson did very well there.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Was it three cheeky byes? Carey missed each time.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Australia didn't know what to do with themselves!

 

[QueenOfGoths]

15% left on my phone. That should get me home!

 

[Elpenor]

Aussie communication when fielding has been poor

Plans, execution, communication...

 

[kabbes]

Just amazing stuff. 275 feels much more of a total to bowl at. They’ve learnt their lesson from that first test — make hay while the sun shines

 

[Lord Camomile]

Huh. Just checked back in, honestly kinda figured we'd have declared by now. I suppose time-wise, more than run-wise, though.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Jim Maxwell is not a happy bunny.

 

[steveo87]

OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!!

 

[steveo87]

(as an aside, those listening on Five Live, I went to school with Alex Hartley. Thats my other claim to fame.)

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Jim Maxwell is not a happy bunny.

He's not! I particularly enjoyed his use of the word "daft"

Is Broad wearing a tag on his ankle?

 

[Petcha]

In the history of Test cricket, there have been 3,828 innings lasting 100 overs or more. That was the second fastest, with a run-rate of 5.49 per over. Stokes’s E..ngland are top of the list as well.

This kind of behaviour is normal now, is it?

Let themselves down a bit there then. Second fastest To themselves though I guess.

This is definitely Moeen’s time. Runs do not matter, wickets do.

 

[WhyLikeThis]

Those foot marks look fairly dramatic.

 

[WhyLikeThis]

Wood at t’other end.

 

[Santino]

 

[JimW]

And so it begins...

 

[littlebabyjesus]

I fancy Wood and Woakes to do the damage. Plus Stokes was doing some bowling practice. If the ball is swinging, he's a good bet.

Moeen will probably leave one of the top order batters feeling disappointed with himself.

England have loads of bowling options.

 

[WhyLikeThis]

This is more out than when Smith “caught” one.

 

[WhyLikeThis]

3rd umpire making a decision on an angle that hid the ball

 

[pbsmooth]

He knew it wasn't out.

 

[steveo87]

Has anyone got a dodgy feed I can watch this on?
