Ashes 2025/6

[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.

First Ashes Test in 104 years to finish inside two days.

Starc. Fucked England's top order both innings.

If our batting showed any patience whatsoever on Day 1 we win by an innings

Definitely a major mistake to play the first test in Perth

When the weather fucks Brisbane, we'll see if I'm right

At 847 balls bowled, this was the shortest completed Ashes Test since 1888.

Three days left, still time to play another one!

Two one-dayers would have lasted longer.
