The Ashes 2023

[PITA]

Warner’s gone.

 

[Charro]

Has the sound gone for anyone else?

 

[PITA]

England collapse, as long as I've followed cricket it has been a standard

All teams collapse but you notice it more with England.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Good catch

It's extraordinary that The Ashes are going to be all over before the end of July.
I remember endless summers in the sixties sitting cross-legged on the boundary and "inspecting the wicket" with me guvnor during lunch etc well into August.
Jumpers, goalposts and happy days.

And just like that, out of the woodwork...

Well,yes that’s true however, no team collapses like we do (of the big teams). It just seems what ever we need to do we make it very hard for our selves. Aus can set a low target and we still balls it for instance

I’m think just frustrated

 

[Rita_Poon]

Shockingly bad. Shambles!

I read somewhere the schedule for the ashes was so tight due to the hundred starting just after. If true, what a shambles

Have never and will never watch ‘The Hundred’. Don’t like T20 either.

It’s not what cricket is supposed to be about.

Shockingly bad is being bowled out for under 150 prodding outside off stump all innings.

How we’ve batted this series is miles better than what we’ve been used to for the last seven years.

Australia are ahead but today was not as bad as you make out.

Mad how much we’ve hampered ourselves with this.

If this was a normal series we’d see stokes bowl, Anderson at a much better level, wood and woakes probably available from the second test.

I don't mind that 'The Hundred' exists. But it should be treated as the cricket equivalent of the snooker shootout. A bit of fun shown on ITV4 or some other obscure channel and an event that certainly doesn't shift around the scheduling of the major tournaments. You wouldn't move the world champs for it, so you shouldn't be moving the ashes for it. IMO they should have given 'The hundred' a rest this year anyway. It's already starting to run it's course.

The hundred is a horrible gimmick.

Will be binned soon.

Good lord kwarja has had some luck in this innings
