Ashes 2021-22

Stokes is bowling well.
Just peppered with Labuschagne with some good hostile bowling in his last over.

[NTA]

Slow session for Australia. That said, only 25 overs bowled which is still coming up short for a day's cricket.

Harris continues to suck. Khawaja for Boxing Day, thanks.

[sparky]

I am not a great fan of Day-Night tests. They tend to make for dull, slow, conservative Cricket. Results tend to be one-sided too.

[MN5]

Jeepers Harris proves what a waste of space he is once again at this level with a Boycott like innings of three.

What a curious mix of utterly brilliant and utterly dogshit that Australian batting line up is….

Fair to say not the most explosive of starts for the hosts. I want to turn it on and watch but as I’ve just got back home after a few days away for work I’d better not disturb the peace by watching “boring cricket that NZ aren’t even playing in”

EDIT: Actually Harris is the only passenger, the rest are pretty worthy….as are the bowlers.

Poms not having much luck

That was utter bullshit with Warner just now

Poms have bowled really well today. They want to get another 9 wickets before tomorrow's 35+ weather.

Labuschagne gets 50 off thrice as many deliveries. Had some luck but mentally tough overall.

[KiwiMurph]

Even Henry Nicholls reckons these batsmen are pushing their luck.

You know it’s bad when the ferns biggest Aussie piston wristed gibbon cricket fan is having a go at his own team.

Warner has finally got his strike rate to 50.

The other guy thinks he’s Trevor Franklin

He tried a reverse sweep - didn't hit anything - the ball hit his lower back and missed the stumps by the whisker.

[ACT Crusader]

Warner gone again in the 90s.

Warner gone again in three 90s.

Threw it away. Worst time to do it as well.

A millisecond later with his wrists and it was 4

1/250 at the end of play was looking good.

Ants in his pants is out there now, under the lights, pink ball and spotlight on him.

Almost few sorry for him….almost
