Ashes 2025/6

[sparky]

Head out for 123. But in the context sensational batting.

No one else got past 52 all match.

This arse raping will absolutely destroy England’s confidence for the rest of the series. About to be beaten in two days. Amazing.

[sparky]

And the England mental skills coach is................?

He'll have his work cracked out after this one.

You have to wonder if Baz will be looking for a job in a few weeks

Given his one trick pony approach of the last few years, he'll need to pull something out of the bag fast.

[Young Hamiltons]

Root bowling...white flag

[Donsteppa]

Yep, England's much vaunted 140kmph plus attack can't sustain it.

[Young Hamiltons]

Scores are level.

[Donsteppa]

Heh. Pop gun once they have to bowl more than a few overs, so they get Root to be tonked instead.

[sparky]

Bus change smashes Root for six to bring up his 50.

Scores level.

Just eight wickets needed to tie. Come on England !

[sparky]

Australia win inside two days...........

Australia 1 England 0

[Young Hamiltons]

Stand in captain with the winning run.

[sparky]

What a comeback.

Fight, fight and more fight from Australia. The Baggy Greens should be hugely proud of how they seized the initiative and turned this one around.

1-nil

Have been drinking in Tokyo and seen none of this live. What a fucking bizarre outing.

[Chris B.]

One of the strangest test matches I've ever seen.

[MN5]

Who gets MOM ?

Heads innings was incredible but Starc took a 10fer, gotta give it to the latter I reckon unless the adjudicators are Indian.

[Young Hamiltons]

Starc motm for me...just. Head was brilliant though.

[Young Hamiltons]

Can we have a joint motm???

[sparky]

@MN5 Travis Head for me. No other batsman looked remotely as good as him in that match. He made a mockery of England's bowling.

He woulda been a fine choice but 10 wickets is 10 wickets. Starc got it.
