The summer of test cricket - Ashes 2023

[Niigata Jack]

180 runs needed with no proper batters to come in, just ain't gonna happen is it, I hope Duckett is kicking himself.

Oh dear. Poor that. All round. From everyone involved.

 

[Risc]

Get walking Ed.

 

[Skippyjack]

Australia sh*thousing, poor form

 

[Risc]

“rules are rules” apparently yesterday.

Get him gone

 

[Swanjaxs]

Correct decision regardless of the circumstances unfortunately.

 

[Niigata Jack]

How naïve/stupid was Bairstow then fuk my eyes.

Correct decision regardless of the circumstances unfortunately.

Yup. Out is out. Poor effort all round.

Exactly same happened in a game I played in clydach 25 yrs ago. Was nearly a riot....not in the spirit of the game??
Depends on yer point of view.

 

[Risc]

Giving Broad the treatment aswell now.

Can’t let these off the hook now.

 

[Swanjaxs]

Looks great when it come off, awful when it doesn’t. Pointless praising it when it’s going to the rope then moaning when it gets him out. (Not that you are )

Maybe it's just me but Duckett doesn't execute the pull/ hook shot very well, he doesn't seem to be in control of the shot, more of a swipe
Probably just me aye...

Spot on, that, for me.

Stokes is off. It’ll be fun for however long it lasts.

 

[JackSomething]

Classic Aussies. Would be spitting blood if they were on the receiving end, but all fair when they do it.

Comparisons to the non-catch yesterday are pathetic.

 

[Risc]

I’ll tip my cap to Stokes. What a competitor he is.
