3rd Ashes Test: Australia v England @ Adelaide Oval Dec 17-21, 2025

[yobbo84]

Game drawn because we are cowards

I wouldn't put it past our top order sans Smith capitulating in the second innings and England having to chase sub 200 to win

 

[Fangs]

I think he has less ability but way more between his ears than thier other batsmen.

He is a good cricketer.

Look forward to watching him without Baz in his ear who will likely be fired.

And maybe Stokes relieved of the captaincy? Its the English way to do that.

 

[Chins]

Let's win the Ashes first.

And win or draw it ends Bazball. A higher cause is present here.

Cowardly weak thought process

Haha no its called winning. We won the last Ashes series on a drawn 4th test as well. Thats cricket and its been that way for over a century now.

Don't tell me you've caught the bazball disease.

Cummins and Starc not starting with the ball today was surrendering

50 to Jofra? That’s a paddlin’.

 

[85 Baby]

A boundary and we would’ve let Jofra score more than he conceded

 

[yobbo84]

It's such a different sport to even just 10 years ago

Imagine letting a no.10 walk down the wicket to you against a new ball, and NOT immediately bouncing the bloke next ball

 

[Chins]

Finally

 

[Twizzle]

About f**king time Starcy

[yobbo84]

Thank goodness for the GOAT left armer

 

[Eelectrica]

Needed that. Needed it a while ago, but still good ball Starc.

 

[Fangs]

Good innings from Stokes. But it had to end sooner or later.

198 deliveries faced. Lowest strike rate of his career for a 50?

 

[85 Baby]

Hmmm the short balls haven’t worked…. I know…. they haven’t been short enough!

 

[85 Baby]

Could’ve used that wicket 100 deliveries ago

 

[Fangs]

Alright England. Let's see some real bazball.

97 lead is simply too much. They need to whittle it down below 50.

It was when he reached 50 (Kayo put a stat on the screen earlier)

Crashing into leg

New ground for Stokesy.

Now he has to bowl his arse off pursuing wickets. And if they want to have a real dig then Pope swaps with Stokes for the last innings.
