Ashes 2021-22

[MN5]

Scott Boland has come a long way after a pretty feral start to his life……

[Tim]

Game over. Root out.

[sparky]

Root gone. England are fucked.

Time for the Aussies to book the booze for a massive party with Urn in a couple of days time.

God damn I hope Root gets a ton today, and makes a game of it.

Curse of the Tim.

[MN5]

Nice six from Stokes. Lovely to see at test level.

[MN5]

Warney just about cumming in his pants on air about Greens potential……and he gets Stokes straight away.

Fuck you Warney ( you legend )

A real “meh” innings overall and England are in deep shit now.

@mn5 total brain fart from the kiwiranga

Absolutely. Was looking ok out there.

[MN5]

Fucken hell, Hussey in on the circle jerk action too. You’d think Gary Sobers had come out of retirement.

[sparky]

128 for 6. Australia getting the job done. England are utterly horrendous.

Crowd not as big as normal for the Boxing Day test.

[Chris B.]

Oz probably got things wrong at the toss - this pitch hasn't done much at all - but, maybe they think it will do even less over the next few days - which is likely.

Maybe Cummins couldn't be arsed thinking about declarations and follow-ons.

It's not going to matter, but it looks like a win toss and bat pitch.

England possibly should have opened with Root and Malan.

You are in deep shit vs Oz if you don't have decent openers. Just prior to lunch Root and Malan had almost retrieved things from disaster, but they're well up the Khyber now, without a paddle.

They effectively are. Every fucking game.

[Chris B.]

@nta Yeah - I know.

They probably should have saved the scorers the effort of writing those other guy's names on the scorecard.

Realistically, they're fucked whatever they did - they've brought Root and a knife to a gunfight.

[NTA]

That was just bizarre from Bairstow. What the actual fuck?

Leach having a crack. Good on him

[sparky]

Leach out. 176 for 9.

[NTA]

Ollie Robinson taking the piss

[Chris B.]

Come on Wood.

I quite like Wood (jokes aside). Gives 100 percent and bowls with a bit of threat. Should have played in the last test.

Has the pace. Just needs support from the other end.

[Machpants]

England all out 185

This is the 13th time (in 28 innings) that England have been out for under 200 for in Test cricket in 2021

Yeah - England selectors living in the past backing Anderson and Broad in the last test.

They've opened the bowling with Anderson and Robinson. Harris may escape this onslaught!
