Ashes 2025/6

[Chris B.]

There's a touch of irony requesting 150 on demand. It's around the, "we need a hat trick right now"!

Slightly more likely, perhaps.

Brook is a twit.

Crawley 50 up.

Just needs to add at least 150 to that and he’ll become an Ashes hero and say a big fuck you to the doubters.

If Brook can make 150, England will get close.

I think he's their last remaining hope - with Crawley, Stokes et al to bat around him.

Yeah I think Brook is the Obi Wan.

Massive opportunity for him to make history.

Or not

Super dumb way by Harry Brook to get out.

[Cyclops]

Harry Brook and Travis Head are very similar in that they produce some awe inspiring innings but then a bunch of dross to go with it. The difference between the two sides is basically down to Head being at his best and Brook at his worst. Maybe this is Head figuring it out and Brook being figured out, will be interesting to see how they go.

Is England's next test series us in May or do they have something in between?

Stokes now loses off stump to Lyon. Proverbial Fat Lady is warming up...

[KiwiPie]

That's a beauty from Lyon. England lucky not to have any more left handers to come in?

[sparky]

A beauty from Lyon. England on the edge of defeat.

England's next Test series after this is against the BCs in June 2026. Tests at Lords, the Oval and Trent Bridge.

These Fox Playbooks would have been interesting back in the 1990's when we toured:

• Tends to lose off stump or leg stump early, but usually keeps middle stump intact

[Donsteppa]

Crawley's resistance now ended by Lyon - and very sharp work by Carey.

Lyon after two wickets in his first over of the game, then a long drought, is back on the boil.

[sparky]

That's the big one. Crawley denied a hundred. Lyon on the charge. Vultures are circling above the England dressing room.
