The Ashes 2023

You can see why the dingoes want to eat all the Aussie children. They’re trying to save test cricket.

Given the forecast it would be amazing to see something other than a draw.

You’d keck your pants if a stick insect looked at you funny.

And what have the convicts added to the entertainment?
Most negative team in test cricket.
They don't even take the new ball because they are afraid of conceding even more runs even more quickly.

Pretty sure we aren’t the ones trying to turn test cricket into T20 ‘bazball’.

Being the sportsman that I am I'd like to be the first to offer my congratulations to the Aussie skipper on reaching his century.
Yes, it's been very entertaining.

Why is your captain so negative?

 

[Old Blue 2]

Looks like you’ve won the Ashes in one day. Well done, congratulations I’m sure you will be gracious in victory and won’t resort to being absolute bunch of bellends. Spirit of the game and all that.

Unlike your lot over the years...

England doing well to try and push the game on, Aus gambling on England giving wickets away. I don't think there's a need to go gung ho at this point, take the singles and the odd boundary and were still at 4 an over. Try and get to an hour or so after lunch would be my plan. Oops I've just seen the drizzle!

Its a very low bar but McGrath is actually the best thing on the awful TMS, he's stuck up for Baz and Stokes more than the english pudits

Kept nibbling though about that Cummins catch. Was he steamed.

New ball

Will be wickets and runs I reckon

 

[ToffeeTim]

Time to try and up the scoring rate. If you get out it doesn't matter

 

[Charro]

I think they think we’re getting some play on Sunday which is risky looking at the forecast.

I’d be looking to get quick runs now and have them in after lunch.

 

[ToffeeTim]

They might just declare during the break to avoid losing 10 mins for an innings break

 

[ToffeeTim]

500 up

 

[Charro]

That's my thinking.

Declare during lunch to save time.
