Ashes 2023

This should be in the sh!ts thread and I should've posted it a couple of years ago when I saw a F***tard wearing one in the crowd at the Adelaide oval

But surely there is a special place in hell reserved for the low-lifes who buy a "baggy green" on Ebay and wear it to test matches.

There's only 466 people who have earned the right to wear that cap.

Seen a couple of crowd shots over the last few days and have dry-retched.

Citizenship should be revoked.

Every other sport in the world supporters wear the team gear, but not with the baggy green for shame
Who TF cares. It's not a real one.

Paired with a lace up guernsey and sneans is the way to go…………..

WTF is there a lunch break when there has been no play? Just have a start time.

Stupid England, supposed to be summer there

Stupid England, supposed to be summer there

No real difference to Sydney in summer really.

[DOC]

52 overs (we'll see) plus 15 in the last hour.

[DOC]

I would have thought England would have bowled short to Boland with a couple of close in catchers like the first innings.

Instead they are bowling to him like a batsman and he is playing them like one, defending when required, leaving mostly those out to tempt and scoring along the ground where possible.

[DOC]

On cue they bring in two catchers, bowl short then pitch one up which he was leaving and is caught behind for 20.

C'mon Trav!

[Jim05]

Next hour decides this one. These two have to see it out

[DOC]

Totally agree.

Usi not looking to score which will just put pressure on the other end.

[am Bays]

England bowling well though, especially Broad.

Agree the next hour is critical.

Warner nicking off to Robinson a sign of how he’s losing that critical reaction time as a test opener.

[RustyCage]

A poor innings by Head comes to a disappointing end

[Dutchy]

In trouble now

[DOC]

Usi gets to 50 and I think will be MOTM.

I think this is still an each way bet. Get to 190/200 5 down and we are favorites. Any wicket inside that puts England in front.

Need 117 with 44 remaining.

[Dutchy]

Green the key here, he has really worked hard on getting himself set

[DOC]

And that shot says it all.

101 to get. C'mon Aussies.

[DOC]

No Moen Ali after tea.

Root bowling and bowling well.

[DOC]

Green plays on after trying to steer it down to third man.

6/192. England a nostril in front.

Alex and Usi get us home!

[Senor Moto Gadili]

Khawaja has done well anchoring the innings, but he's missed a lot of scoring opportunities. He's hit a lot of half volleys straight to fielders and his running between wickets has been poor at times. Has to see it through.

[DOC]

Yep. Hitting the ball hard but straight to fielders including three full tosses.

I think Carey needs to play his shots. I don't fancy our chances unless we look to score a bit more freely.

On cue he dispatches Moen to the fence to bring up the 200. Not sure how long he was back on before bowling ( Iam tired).

[Senor Moto Gadili]

Broad and Anderson will be back on with the new ball soon.
