Ashes 2023

Duluth

In one of the more ‘what the fuck’ moments of sporting realisation I note that Australia haven’t won and Ashes in England for over 20 years.

Away team has won twice this century

Aus in 2001
Eng in 2010/11

Aus did draw and retain the Ashes in 2019 away

Track looks dry as the proverbial dead dingo's donga

Second delivery might have been worth aiming for a yorker length, just to see if Crawey would try that again.

How does Crawley get a test gig ?

Are England really that bereft of test openers ?

And Hazlewood also bowls a first up pie to Crawley.

Duckett just stepping in front of his stumps and working it. Need to bring it across a little and challenge the 4th stump line

They’re certainly scoring quickly ( still refusing to say “Bazball” )

@MN5 yet you keep saying it

The Hoff. Duckett not comfortable outside off

Haha how's the no footwork approach

Took an over, but once Hazlewood found his rhythm, that one was a sure thing.

Another edge and didn't carry. No footwork from Crawley

I know Head has been excellent but I’m surprised to see him this high.

Lyon on after 9 overs

Is "randomly charge at the bowler" part of BAZBALL?

Nasser Hussain blowing jizz after every shot is irritating

Cracking first hour. England going along at a great rate & Aussie having a few chances but only taking one of them.

Beautiful day in blighty today, picture perfect for opening day of the Ashes.
