The Ashes 2017/2018

Snicko Marsh back in form FFS, may well be over by tea

New ball due, overcast weather, what could seriously go wrong

[stampy]

hope the slow scoring doesnt come back to bite us on the bum

[amber_fluid]

The earlier discussion on here about Warner and his trademark century celebration (Toyota oh what a feeling) got me thinking.... when did this type of BS creep into the game? For mine it was Slater who started the star jump, kiss the badge on the helmet crap.

Slater was/is a bigger flog than Warner as well!

[DOC]

How many ahead before we declare?

[DOC]

Last 10 overs have produced 12 runs.

Last 10 overs have produced 12 runs.

very poor batting, need to be working singles to get the lead up,

[DOC]

Yep. Bat 30 more overs at 2 an over, and we get bowled out, England need 100/110 off 13 overs. Very gettable.

Having said that, they still need six wickets.

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Dumb shot

nothing unusual, wonder if this will trigger the awaited collapse, nothing to play for all been retained for the next test

There goes my England bet

[The Bedge]

What an absolutely shit house pitch.

[DOC]

Normally, your spinner on the fifth day is a match winner. I think Ali, Moen Ali, bowls like a melon and stings like a pea.

As I type, C9 have got Boycott on. He would be loving this batting. He would captain the world boring eleven. 10 other spots up for grabs.

[locky801]

What an absolutely shit house pitch.

Even you and i would get runs out there Bedge

[Jim05]

What an absolutely shit house pitch.

Yep, deadset disgrace.
Has played almost identical from day 1, has offered nothing for the quicks and we are on day 5 and it hasn’t even offered much for the spinners either. May aswell just play on hard wicket

[DOC]

Anderson on. Anyone think he can nail it?

Wouldn’t go that far

[DOC]

he may have been a boring batsman but his thoughts on where the game, its players and the pitches are at is quite insightful.

Cook, Richards, Cowper, all double hundreds in a test, Sarfraz and Mailey most wickets in a test (think 18 or 19), only a guess here, really got no idea
