The summer of test cricket - Ashes 2023

The potential irony of England not winning the match because they declare too late would be poetic.

I can’t see a declaration. Four wickets left and two days to go. Maybe overnight but even then I doubt it.

Yes they took that decision out of their own hands, was around 230-4 last time I checked, Jimmy Anderson going in for a whack now.

:lol: All this talk of a declaration

They may as well declare overnight now if these two are still together. Not much point sending your two opening bowlers out first thing to scratch a few runs together.

Stuart Broad announces his retirement from cricket after this game. A fitting end hopefully. A legend of English cricket.

His figures speak for themselves.
Fantastic player, will be missed, and Jimmy can’t be far from finishing either, two wonderful bowlers.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Jimmy makes a similar announcement before the start of play tomorrow.

Retire from cricket - and end up behind the bar of your own pub.

What a way to go. :lol:

The way this series has gone it really wouldn't surprise me if Australia go very close...
