The summer of test cricket - Ashes 2023

[Niigata Jack]

England 325

Australia lead by 91 runs.

England p1ss poor against the short ball.

Been piss poor in every facet of this test, Aussies have out batted them, bowled better and been much better in the field, 46 runs cost 6 wickets this morning, that's worse than pathetic, a new style England be fuked :lol: :lol: :lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Pretty average test Aussies aren't they, what was that you said about the Aussies not being all that :lol:

England would have had a chance if they played a 5 test series against Ireland, just :lol:

 

[Risc]

Solid days work.

need a sizeable lead however.

England losing 6 wickets for 46 runs earlier today, suggests that the Aussies could declare at 250-300 and win comfortably.

Stokes ought to have a quiet word with Cummins and raise the White Flag :lol:

Never works like that with England though they always find some way of jamming it.

So much for Brendon McCullum and Stokes new age England tactics, white wash on the cards, weather may keep it to 3 tests to nil though, if they are lucky.

They've been poor in these two tests, no doubt. But take a look at the test results pre-Bazball and since before writing it off.

Ashes is the only contest that matters, they'll all tell you that.

First it was Cooperball, then Martinball and now in Cricket we got Bazball pathetic nonsense in it, lets be fair :x

 

[Niigata Jack]

Here we go, Anderson in the hot seat again!

 

[Niigata Jack]

Surely they should be bowling around the wicket and into Khawaja instead of across him, ??

 

[sainthelens]

What do we think then ladies? What will the Aussies leave em to chase. I'm going for a 460 lead and declare an hour before end of play.

Once again ex Glammy player Khawaja, showing it's not all wham, bam, thank you ma'am!! - sometimes it's all about getting your head down and accumulating runs.

Bazball has been great and entertaining, but these last 2 Test matches have been more "Kamikazeball"

Without Lyon, I think Australia will try and bat England out of the match - and it will be more England trying to save the match, more than winning it.

 

[Niigata Jack]

Surely another Wicket keeper has to come in for Bairstow and him moved back up the order yet another catch missed because of his poor agility.

 

[TheLoneRanger]

Good tactics by Stokes. Stopped the boundaries and slowed the scoring rate with short pitched bowling - 2 quick Aussie wickets.

Australia. 191/4
