Sir Ben Stokes, Lord Stokesy of Bazball - I need a drink, maybe even more than one! Honestly, I think this about the most likeable England team in a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UsedToGoToCentralPark Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 This series could easily have been any combination you can get from 3 tests, excellent stuff with 2 very equal teams giving it all 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming you missed out is and while I kinda agree with you it's the fans with typewriters (or whatever the current term should be) who churn out headlines like Quote Stuart Broad reveals the down under cricket legends who inspired him to torture Australia in the Ashes that will be impossible to avoid that I dread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 England could select eleven Fred Wests, and they'd still be infinitely preferable to any team of Australians. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Australia's batters ought to be ashamed of themselves watching England notching up a scores like this. Just as well they didn't pick a team full of them, that would be embarrassing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s too posh to be a hard man. 21 minutes ago, rowsdower said: He's the most English person, just ahead of Harry Kane. A dinner party from hell that. Just throw in Danny Dyer for the hat trick. 18 minutes ago, btb said: I'm assuming you missed out is and while I kinda agree with you it's the fans with typewriters (or whatever the current term should be) who churn out headlines like that will be impossible to avoid that I dread. Indeed. Cricket journalism used to be fantastic. 4 minutes ago, Michael W said: Australia's batters ought to be ashamed of themselves watching England notching up a scores like this. Just as well they didn't pick a team full of them, that would be embarrassing. They’ve been playing for the draw and hoping the weather helps. Put it this way, England wouldn’t have done it. At least this England wouldn’t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Nasser discussing whether or not you try to bat Australia out of the game entirely, when this team could easily still be 320 all out from here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlandmagar Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 If the weather holds up( doubtful) and England take this test, I believe they will take the 5th and win the Ashes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Australia look a lot like Strauss's England teams, where they'd trot in all day in Plan A mode, and if Plan A didn't work, they'd revert to even more Plan A. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daft thing is, they had Crawley sussed and were doing the right thing by bowling a yard outside off. He kept throwing the bat and nicking it, only Aus kept ball chasing and setting a field for the previous delivery. Just poor, unconvincing captaincy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Yeah, Murphy is a strange one. Why bother taking him on tour if you select him but barely bowl him on a seamer's pitch, but then don't bother selecting him on the one English Test pitch that is known to be spinner-friendly? This is the sort of nonsense thinking that plagued English teams for years. It's really un-Australian. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
