The Ashes 2023

England will go hell for leather batting but I worry that too much time will be lost to the weather and consequently England will push too hard.

I think l we will see a one day style kind of innings.
But, living in Manchester, the weather forecast has been atrocious for the last few weeks. Rain and wind everyday, all day. We haven't seen it. We have had some heavy downpours, but have only lasted a little bit. If that continues, the weather may not be as a big an impact as thought.

 

[jazzy]

Leaked an extra 17 runs all because of a basic error.
Hope that doesn’t bite them in the arse but strap in, this could be a very exciting day ahead now

Just as importantly we lost 30 minutes of batting

Mark Butcher said during one of the last test's rain delays. That Duckett has left 8 balls in his test opening career. That is a disgrace...

Need a strong early partnership. Knew Duckett wouldn't last long..

Crawley using up everyone of his nine lives before lunch, but - I hesitate to say it he’s still there!

A few terrible umpire shouts already

 

[Charro]

Woeful bit of umpiring.

Crawley is so bad though.

Didn't look out in real time, thought it looked high as well as wide.

A travesty that we've had to use a referral on it. As @Bohemian Toffee said, it didn't even look anywhere near out in live play.

Sweeeet from Mooen.

Love a leftie ever since Mr Gower

 

[Connor]

Woeful bit of umpiring.

Would review every single LBW call by Wilson

Even if its plumb, just because it's him

 

[ToffeeTim]

Decent start, but one of these needs to go big now that both are set

you don't lose a referral for that

Didn’t we retain the referral?
