The summer of test cricket - Ashes 2023

Absolutely no punt on thus one for me, last one way too close for comfort. Happy to sit back and watch/listen and read how many times people change their minds on the outcome.

The toss is going to be massive today, with that green top and the overhead clouds.

Australia's Ashes record at Lords is pretty impressive.

P 37

Aus won 15

England won 7

Drawn 15

 

[TheLoneRanger]

England win the toss and bowl.

Starc in for Boland.

 

[TheLoneRanger]

Well done Jonny Bairstow.

 

[Muteswan]

Well done Jonny Bairstow.

There’s only one Jonny Bairstow, one Jonny Bairstow…

 

[Risc]

Moment of Ed's career that, well done my son.

Swinging like a 70s disco out here.

 

[BanosSwan]

Well done Jonny Bairstow.

Foakes would've done it better...

 

[Swanjaxs]

Can't help but think that Cummins, Hazelwood and Starc would have used these conditions better that England have so far, Warner and Khawaja looking pretty much well set...

 

[TheLoneRanger]

Foakes would've done it better...

He didn't drop this one. :lol:

What we thinking then, Oz get 400 plus having been put in...massive bollock dropped by Stokes?

 

[Skippyjack]

Steve Smith is some player

I think they would have put England in as well.

Maybe they’ll declare tonight with half an hour to go?

 

[Risc]

Really disappointed Labuschagne didn’t kick on there after getting himself in. Need to capitalise here, game still in the balance as wickets can tumble quickly.

Hoping Starc can do some damage with the ball nipping around as it is.

Worst day’s cricket England have played since Stoles took over. Very poor.

Unless there is a cunning plan at play here then this is catastrophic display.

Plenty of time left though.
