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

[ColdWetPanther]

The real question is who will use more players in their respective 2023 series; Baz or Freddy…

 

[Fangs]

Is there an odds market on Broad v Warner in this series? Plenty of money will get spent there.

Warner is paying 97c to lose that battle.

Prices on the war unclear

Still cheaper than E10.

He looks so uncomfortable on the off side. Constantly checking his drives. If he stands guard on off he could try hoicking everything legside.

Should review every LBW call Broad gets bowling around the wicket to the left handers

A clear and sunny morning in Blightistan.

[Fangs]

That already sounds much better. Will be happy to hear some voices from the old Channel 9 team. Heals wasn't a favourite though.

 

[hineyrulz]

Who does Dinesh Kartik blow to get a gig, bog average cricketer worse commentator.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Much better, can't wait for:

Tubs: 'There's plenty of schwing today"
Finchy talking about his latest trip to the buffet.
Heals to give a 3 hour medical student level anatomy lecture on a player's broken cuticle.

Atherton: 'Australia are right under the kosh'.
Sangakkara: 'rumble rumble rumble" in his deep voice that is only audible to elephants
Eoin Morgan in his weird half English/half Irish/half klingon accent.


the others who cares, they'll be cheering for England.

but as I said, much better than the 7 drivel.

According to cricinfo Mitch f**king Marsh has marked out his runup.

One Mitch for another.

Anybody currently alive named Mitch should be put down.

[Fangs]

Drop Davey Warner, others moves up a spot and Marsh at 5/6. He probably gets more runs than Davey and we can run with two spinners.

Yes I know, I'm dreaming.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

I still stand by the eradication of all Mitchells comment

 

[jargan83]

Is this on Kayo or just channel 9?

 

[The Mad Hatter]

MMarsh and Wade are big time players. Really should play this Ashes test to boss around England.

 

[King-Gutho94]

How fascinating is the glass on Antiques Roadshow.

Who cares about the cricket when you have this exhilarating show
