Ashes 2021-22

[Crucial]

Come on Straya!

I was a little sick in the mouth typing that but they might just distract the cricket world from the BlackCraps if they get England out for a pathetic total.

[MN5]

Englands top order struggling. Shit I never saw that coming.

[Donsteppa]

At 11/3 already, this series could make Mumbai look like an even contest.

[Tim]

Don't you normally bowl first at the Gabba if you win the toss?

[Tim]

It's like listening to a random bunch of drunk Aussie blokes watching the cricket.

It’s cos that’s what they are. These guys just used to play pretty well too.

Always bat first at the Gabba is the tradition. Nassar Hussein infamously got that one wrong in 2002 and saw Australia finish the first day 364/2...

Though when I head about the pitch being green I did wonder if it was going to be an unusually difficult decision - the ghosts of 02 vs the actual state of the pitch...

We will see what happens when Australia bats. The pitch isn't going to dry out much in these conditions.

"I could bowl out Glenn Turner with a soggy tomato."

What a cock.

Channel 7 here started with Beefy and Ponting. Now Hayden and Damien Fleming.

I assume you're getting Warne et al

[Tim]

@nta Right now it's Mark Howard, Mike Hussey, and some absolute fuckwit called Kerry O’Keeffe. Come across as three smug dickheads. Really unprofessional.

Yep, we have Kerry O'Keefe already trying to relive his non-glory days of the 70's, and it hadn't even reached the first drinks session...

Kerry O'Keefe

53 wickets at 38.07, Glenn Turner never stood a chance!

[sparky]

England 24/3 at drinks after 12 over. Root out for a duck. Nightmare start for England. Australia bossing it.

[NTA]

Oooh fuck yeah

[Donsteppa]

29/4. England will struggle to make it to triple figures.

It's weird because O'Keeffe was great on radio. Is it Fox or the company in the box?
