3rd ASHES TEST: @ Headingley, Leeds July 6-10, 2023

[Fangs]

As long as Bill Bailey can still tour here..

All options are on the table I'm afraid this is a very serious issue.

Seriously though this is probably their best chance to snag a win. Broad acting like a massive twat seemed to make him more focus and it probably applies to the rest of the team. I'm looking forward to seeing how much the spirit of cricket matters to England over the next three tests.

New video shows how Khawaja was singled out for abuse

Fresh video has emerged to highlight how Usman Khawaja was repeatedly singled out for abuse by some MCC members at Lord’s.

Ugly English

 

[Eelectrica]

The silence from Baz and Stokes over that is deafening

Stuart Broad looks like a sad angry bad Simon le Bon impersonator. Don't mind a lot of the English cricketers but something about Broad has always irked me.

The Lords members will be torn here. The PM agrees with them, but he’s brown, and that just wouldn’t be on for them.
I’d love to win the 3rd test, then they fly home citing threats and danger like they’d do with Zimbabwe or Pakistan.

Nonsense, we go full throttle

All we need to do (after we win 3rd test) is send Cummins, Carey, Warner and Green home

Draft in Maxwell, Big Rig, Bison and The Admiral = Bazball on Roids and 5-0 series win

Chuck in Lance Morris, some of these sooky Poms need their feathers ruffled in a big way.

I think the one Pom who has agreed with the dismissal was Strauss, he's probably their last captain with class.

Nah, he blamed the crowd's behaviour on the fact "they lowered prices to 25 quid" and that "people who don't usually attend Lord's might be here".

Typical upper class English snobbery.

I hope we burn them 5-0.

Wrong thread but whatever.

We're 2 nil up and firing on about 2 cylinders but still got them covered.
Warner - battling like an old moll.
Khawaja - has been delectable.
Labo - see Warner
Smith - top shelf as usual.
Head - got them rattled.
Green - can't bowl, can't bat, can field
Carey - batting is like me in the sack, short, quick, barely satisfying.
Cummins - lion hearted with bat and ball, pea brained as captain.
Starc - his usual tripe or treasure
Hazelwood - not taking a bagful but classy
Lyon - bald, hobbled, see you at the knackery.

 

[Valheru]

If they lose this one they can say it should have been a 6 match series

*7

A drawn series means we retain

 

[gUt]

Aussies who are yet to show their best:

I wouldn't say Warner is due but if he can hang around to launch Khwaja and contribute 30-40 he's going ok for him.
Labs is due
Head is due, he's been great but I think he can and will go bigger
Green is due with both bat and ball
Haze is due
Jury is out on Boland

= at least 1 more victory I think

England win if you take out the voided matches

Piers plays the Warne card. Piers - What kind of wanker name is that anyway?

Draw is a special, looks like last 3 days will be rain effected.

England will have to wait until the 4th test to drive home their advantage.

 

[jargan83]

Tale of the tape at Headingley from Cricinfo (Bored at work today):

Australia: 9 wins
England: 8 wins
Drawn: 8

So wins and draws don't count for England so that's 9 zip to us.

The poms really think that they have been the better team and its only luck and this 1 correct decision that sees them 2 nil down.

And when the hypocrite cult leader tells them they'll win the next 3 tests they believe him.

Its delusuon on a grand scale.

I've never seen one man have the english media wrapped around his thumb like this before.

McCullum must have paid them off or something

 

[some11]

to wrap the ashes up 3-0 after 3 games - would that be the death of Bazball?

 

[yobbo84]

I hope we win the toss, bowl first, Cummins runs in first ball, Mankads the non-striker, and just stands there with a big shit-eating grin on his face.
