The ashes 2023

[Izzy]

That’s really poor from Pope there 

[Bert]

It’s liked he’s tried to catch it and pull it back in to himself. 

[ealingfox]

Unbelievable 

[Aus Fox]

Can’t keep putting down chances like this, it’s ultimately what cost England in the first test and already 2 chances gone down here - the Root one was difficult, but Pope has to hang on there.

[trabuch]

I get the feeling I am watching the Ashes going down the pan.

[leicsmac]

Rather ominous early signs here then.

[leicsmac]

And Aus having a series worth of luck in a Test and a session.

[Lionator]

Aussies will need to set us 400+ in the final innings, as we'll chase anything below that.

Yep.

[David Hankey]

Well done, Tongue, despite that arse, Vaughan, reckoning he shouldn't have been selected.

[Super_horns]

Good ball or bad leave by Khawaja?

[leicsmac]

Well, we fvcking needed a little luck.

How Vaughan is still on a job after everything that happened at Yorkshire I have no idea.

Because nothing will change

 

I can't stand the bloke. Gary Neville of cricket 

[coolhandfox]

Catches win matches.

 

Like the first test, we need to improve in the field and do the basics better. 

[kingkisnorbo]

Agree on Vaughan. Total plum. Definitely goes to see Top Gear Live.

Good ball that. Swung right before it bounced. 

[Lionator]

It was funny how the racists wanted Vaughan instantly reinstated on TMS. I don't want Vaughan not commentating because he has questionable attitudes rather he's just a terrible commentator. But then I suppose those people claim to find Jim Davidson funny so why should I be surprised?

Clearly bazball is far too clever and revolutionary to waste time on the basics.

Agree, it does make you wonder. I'm sure the BBC could turn to others.

Evidently.

 

Let's just go back to winning one Test match in 13 against inferior opposition again.

 

(If we're going for sweeping statements, that is.)

[leicsmac]

How on Earth is Warner still in?

 

Edit: never mind.

Bye Warner 👋

[StanSP]

What a spell from Tongue. Deserved that wicket. Unplayable! 

[Voll Blau]

Pearler that. Great intelligence too from a young, inexperienced Test bowler.

Warner played his shot as the ball hit the stumps. Fantastic.
