The Ashes 2023

[jazzy]

He is a tremendous cricketer

But he's had as bad a day as a captain in the field as you're ever likely to see. Although Crawley did play a sensational innings too to be fair.

Out 1st ball today and 0 for 86 . Looks lost as a captain with only negativity to fall back on. He's had a mare as Dave might say. But yeah ok that's one bad day.

However yes he is a good player but not in the class of a McGrath or Anderson .

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

That's what I was thinking. Probably come out all guns blazing and put them in around lunch

Yeh, if we can stand tall till the end of today and yeh, let loose in the morning.

 

[roydo]

Do think we need to score a bit quicker.

We might not get a full day tomorrow.

350 from 60 overs aint too shabby. Let Brook play himself in.

Oh. Root out.

 

[ToffeeTim]

That was unplayable

 

[Connor]

Stayed loooooow, that

Get a move on, get this lead going. They won't want to see more of that with no spinner.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

ffs

 

[ToffeeTim]

But extremely good signs with a lead, as the game progresses

 

[jazzy]

That went along the floor.
Bad news for Root but our bowlers will love to see that variable bounce.

Another 150 and get them in

Stayed loooooow, that

Moeen to put them to the sword tomorrow?

 

[ToffeeTim]

Moeen to put them to the sword tomorrow?

Seamers need to hit back of a length and hope one stays down like that one

 

[Rita_Poon]

Throw the bat at a few, lets see some heavy hitting.

 

[jazzy]

You don't want to be batting last on this pitch

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

Seamers need to hit back of a length and hope one stays down like that one

Makes sense. Going to be a hell of day

 

[Connor]

Moeen to put them to the sword tomorrow?

More for the seamers tomorrow, but they won't want to have no spinner on this deck on day 5

 

[ToffeeTim]

Throw the bat at a few, lets see some heavy hitting.

Don't want to be too reckless yet. Only 36 ahead. Want another hundred ideally
