Ashes 2023

Missed it by a mile

[DOC]

Gaffaney is so far out of his depth.

Not even close.

[RB]

Not sure what the noise was but it sounded good from England's point of view.

[MW]

Fair call to give that out on noise

Tongue has done a shoulder and is off.

I like we’ve played good Test Cricket and have from 2 runs an over in the first hour to almost four runs an over in hour four.

I know woakes is on just didn’t think it was for “the wife’s 2nd best friend’s” shoulder

Man do we miss Wood. 3 blokes bowling 80 mile an hour doesn't cut it. This test is another good Aussie hour away from being done.

[Armchair expert]

Use the **** bat ffs

[Armchair expert]

Well left Marn

phew!

[Jim05]

Well left Marn

phew!

Shocking decision by the umpire in the first place. You can’t give that out

[Armchair expert]

Smashed it

hit outside off

[Armchair expert]

Poms are whinging that means we are on top

[DOC]

Just 50 overs in 2 sessions.

Bairstow has let through 13 byes and the bowlers have overstepped 8 times. A very handy 21 extra runs.

Smith looks in very good form. Marnus good as well.

Australia 2/190.

[Corona Man]

Poms win the toss and invite us to bat at Lords.

3/308 with 20 overs to go on day 1.

The Poms are ******!

This would have to be one of Heads greatest innings, singlehandly taking the Ashes away from England in an hour or so. He's had a few recently but this is up there, hopefully he tons up and gets a double.

They used the wrong tactics again, pitched up with slips etc and got smashed through the off side, went to the short pitched stuff when he was about 30-40 and has even looked good playing that, taking them on and hitting boundaries despite the fielders back, even a nice pull shot through mid on for 4.

A chance to break Victor Trumpers record for fastest ton of 95 balls. im assuming its fastest ton at Lords

[daysofourlives]

**** me no sooner had i submitted that post and Root gets Head, stumped, terrible shot, even Bairstow couldnt f it up although he tried
