Ashes 2025

This is the pitch
****jng hell ridiculous

 

Fabulous entertainment. Tuned in to see Crawley out straight away, went to bed at England 75-3, thinking we had weathered the storm. Tuned in again at Australia 1-0, shocked, where are England, all out an hour and more before tea? But magnificent bowling by England, and the Aussies/Smith got away with a caught behind when snicker showed the slightest of nicks, but the third umpire overruled it. Never seen that before.
To knock nine Aussies wickets over with them still 51 runs behind puts Stokes and his team well on top and gives England a tremendous psychological advantage and maybe, just maybe shuts up the ridiculous OTT Aussie press and media. Five nil whitewash my arse.

 

This thread is much like when City go a goal down, then score twice.

 

Cracking day gone from despair to amazement in a few hours !!!

 

Oh ****, made me laugh so much and so accurate.

 

Fell asleep when England were 160-6, couldn’t believe it when I woke up, missed an absolute gem in terns of bowling, not so much on the batting side.

 

Highlights on now on TNT1 channel. Exciting stuff!

 

See. Some clips on Facebook
All the England fans singing
Fine but irritating for me
Then some ****s got a trumpet
I’d just want to kill him if he was near me

What a day of cricket, 19 wickets in the day. Let's hope we can put a good 2nd innings together.

 

Not looking great JEx, just got up here to see Pope, Brook and Root go in 2 overs.

 

collapse. three wickets at 76. five down now. need runs from stokes and smith.

 

in six deliveries.

 

If it's so hard to tell it can't be given out surely?

 

Oh dear, Carse didn't need to do that.

 

If Aus win this ok it won't be the end of the world, 4 more games to come. But Aus have now seen probably our best side and they've still got Cummins and Hazlewood to come back in.

 

You're right, total disaster, I can't see the Aussies capitulating in their 2nd innings.

 

chickens coming home to roost...... stokes needs a bowl.

 

Test match cricket should be exactly that and not over in just over two days.
The England team now have it in their dna that they need to score off almost every ball.
They can't resist going for the shots which is a reflection on the twenty over version of the game.

 

Aus looking very, err, Aussie...
