The ashes 2023

Kept taking that on was going to get him eventually.

England have chucked away 3 wickets ego batting.

 

Should be 200+ for 0 and looking to bat them out of the game.

 

We will end up 350 odd all out. 

[Sunbury Fox]

Just mental from England. In total control and then keep letting their egos get the better of them going for big shots that are unnecessary in the circumstances.

Yep. But it will be entertaining which is the main aim apparently. 

[Super_horns]

Oh no - silly when so close to 3 figures.

[coolhandfox]

This should be England's day, but a couple more quick wickets, and it will be Australia's day!

Bazball isn't being a brainless idiot when nearing a ton. 

[RowlattsFox]

Hard because Duckett has got the score he had by being positive but its going to get you out eventually. 

 

Approaching a 100, recently lost a wicket, Lyon potentially injured and singles to be had everywhere. See it out for a bit. 

[Lako42]

What is he playing at 

[fleshdaddy]

Atrocious. Can we not play the short ball or what?

[StanSP]

Good take by Smith, again. Fair catch.

 

England should have the wherewithal to have seen this period out. Australia well on top. Should just be riding the storm and get the Aussies to tire themselves out with the short-ball tactic.

[trabuch]

Stupid stupid stupid stupid. They'll just keeps bowling short because it gets them wickets. Stop taking them on and they'd pretty soon get tired of it.

[coolhandfox]

Senseless batting.

 

 

[ealingfox]

This is insane, Australia cannot believe their luck.

[RowlattsFox]

Great if it works. Looks ridiculous when they just giving it away. They are brainwashed. 

[fuchsntf]

Root our clever of cleverer batsman,let’s the bouncers con him..

What a Chav..!!

[Lako42]

You just know they're gonna capitulate

[foxfanazer]

Pathetic collapse

[adam]

another wicket chucked away. All 4 wickets given away cheaply today.

[EastAnglianFox]

Just one player with half a brain cell and we could have buried the seamers into the ground over the next 2 days...instead we will be 100 behind going into the 2nd innings

[RowlattsFox]

I could almost understand second innings, pushing it on to try and get it a lead. But in the first innings when you are trying to match a 400 score 

 

 

[coolhandfox]

Aussies are showing their street smarts again.

 

 

[adam]

Brooks gonna do the same.

It's not even that 'clever', so to speak. I'd say it's more England idiocy as opposed to anything special Australia are doing. 

 

England have made this ridiculously easy for Australia.
