The Ashes 2023

[Rita_Poon]

Massive first hour coming up

huge if true

(sorry, couldn't resist)

If the wickets of Robinson and Anderson cost us the test match there's bigger issues at play.

No the issue was the extra runs we could have had.

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Morning everyone, whenever I watch cricket I am reminded how bad football coverage on tv is. Genuinely enjoyed the build up to today's play.

 

[Connor]

Get Foakes back

 

[The binman chronicles]

Always thought 400 seemed a bit meh, Obviously could have worked if they continued picking up wickets like they had. I could see the reasoning to give them a chance of an early wicket or two, but it appears we are underestimating Australia. To potentially go in to a second innings behind after a declaration will be a tail between the legs moment. Let's hope that doesn't happen and the bowlers do the business this morning.

If Bairstow has to play, and I think most fans want him in the team, then one of Crawley, Duckett or Pope has to be sacrificed unfortunately, because Foakes has to come back in, regardless of the result in this one.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Bairstow's keeping has been substandard in this match. Dropped catches lose test matches.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Yes, 1 down

 

[Obes]

Beautiful ball, Jimmy.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Played all the way around that, what's he using a bat or a boomerang?

 

[ToffeeTim]

Needed that badly

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Beautiful ball, Jimmy.

Just came back on Carey, peach of a delivery.

 

[tommye]

Nice Jimmy.
Very nice

 

[Connor]

Start of a long tail. Keep Khawaja at the other end where possible and strand him.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Need to keep them to basically parity and make it a 1 innings game
