Re: Ashes 2023

if Lyon is out for the rest of the game it will make it hard to take the remaining 16 wickets.
Game evenly poised - we need to come out and bowl well just like England did first session yesterday

Re: Lord Ian v chappell

Clear winner - Botham Botham tried to even say something nice. Chappell couldn't. My missus who doesn't follow cricket, or doesn't take sides in things like this said both seemed to be pig-headed egotists and acted like school yard sooks. Nil all draw for mine. Concensus at work seems to be a win f...

Re: Ashes 2023

Good day for Australia after being sent in to bat.
If they can push on today and get over 450 hopefully the bowlers can perform better than their English counterparts and really drive home the advantage.

Re: Ashes 2023

But do you think it means he's 'dominating' or 'bossing' the game? I think it means he's in control of the game for a small period but not in the way KP was gushing about. Side note GIAE - do you think having so many different plans for each batsman actually affected the way Anderson and Robinson bo...

Re: Ashes 2023

Couple of reflections now the dust has settled. Loved Ponting making KP look a right old numpty when discussing Joe Root. Why the press (both countries) are slamming Stokes and bazball yet in same breath saying how great it is for cricket etc. is mind-boggling. Yes Australia won............this tim...

Re: Ashes 2023

Come on then aussies. Defend those 2 claimed catches. Same old aussie, always cheating. The Marnus one I have no issue with - my belief is he did it to force the umpires to review it. He probably knew he didn't catch it clean but wanted to have it reviewed. Can understand your view of him 'cheating...

Re: Ashes 2023

Honours even after 2 days - first session tonight will be very crucial.
If Aussies can establish a first innings lead that could set them up for the rest of the test.
If England get quick wickets and bowl us out early in the day, then they'll be favourites to win

I do wish they would get the shorter guys to take those pens. Taller ones like Martinelli are easier to read by goalies on which side the forward will aim for. Oh boy, this should be good.

It's Australia's match to lose at this point - and it could very easily happen given how we've batted all series Reckon its almost line ball, but all we need is a few batsmen to make 20-odd and we should get up.
