1st ASHES TEST: @ Edgbaston, Birmingham June 16-20, 2023

[simmo1]

Three gift wickets for England. Same story for the past 20 years when we tour there. Of course, they'll credit it to stupid declarations and Stokes captaincy though.

Who cares. They turned up and batted well, now they're in the box seat controlling this test.

Lyon getting the bulk of the wickets on day 1 suggests our pacemen aren't as good as they think they are either.

If i came home and Root was hanging out the back of my Mrs i'd tuck him in, what a man.

Fully expecting to wake up tomorrow to 7-220 or some shit

 

[JokerEel]

Well Done Uzi on the 50.

Head needs to leave the bloody leg side shit

Good to see Broad bowling no balls hopefully we make them work hard over the next few days. HOPEFULLY

 

[mozza91]

What are Uzi and Head doing? It’s almost as if trying to build a partnership and playing each ball on its merits is a more sustainable option than trying to score at 6 an over.

 

[JamesRustle]

Worst review ever. If bowler can't see that hit head on the elbow he's been guzzling too much from Baz' balls.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Marnus is the happiest person to score a golden duck I have seen

 

[Ruby Roundhouse]

we need to get to 200 without losing any more wickets

 

[yobbo84]

Khawaja is such a nice batsman to watch, all class.

 

[BunniesMan]

Who scores more tonight: Melbourne Storm or David Warner?

The Storm, like Warner, are past their glory years but even they were still able to beat him

 

[gUt]

why would you try and hit Moen out of the attack? Bazbald thinking there aye.

 

[Fangs]

Australia well on top.

England hoping that Devon Malcolm has a lethal yoker left in him.

 

[yobbo84]

Travball is back

 

[BunniesMan]

Robinson and Ali are so bloody average. It is extraordinary that Broad and Anderson are still carrying them after all these years.

Good on ya Trav. What a bloody brilliant counter attack from him and Uzzie. It would have been so easy to go to pieces but they are playing so well. Nothing stupid, not overly defensive. Hit the bad balls, defend the good ones. That is how it is done

 

[Tweed Titan]

Sorry I'm late to the party. Just wanted to note what a useless prick Warner is away from home.

f**k him and Candace off home already.

 

[yobbo84]

Travball indeed...one too many

Well jinxed mate

 

[BunniesMan]

jfc. Just as I praise them for good tempo one of the best batsmen in the world throws his wicket away to that mediocre nuffy
