Ashes 2023

[MajorRage]

Aussie well on top this morning. 3 wickets for 50 odd runs & Broad has just taken one in the helmet.

England now battling to get close to Oz total.

[MajorRage]

Make that 5 wickets done. Absolute implosion from England. No idea how difficult it is out there.

Head doing a great job of covering for Lyon.

Have been down the pub doing a raffle and walk in to this?

The world has gone mad

[MajorRage]

91 run lead after the first innings. Oz will be stoked with that, matched by England's disappointment.

I fear now that Kawaja & Warner will find this a piece of cake for the next 25 mins til lunch which will kill off the game as a contest.

I'm actually watching cricket for the first time in ages. The Oz commentator (Ponting?) is bloody brilliant.

He's been very good and much more likeable as a comms man than as a player.

Fucking hated him when he played to the point I ignored the majesty of his play

He grows on me every year
He is has an incredible cricket brain
He is pretty funny
He loves putting people in their place

And his pull shot was a thing of absolute beauty. Still thought he went too hard at the ball early in an innings

I hate the wanking over bazball so much I hope they beat England 5-0

You're obviously not reading todays press. They are getting absolutely slated!

I've just seen the dismissals.

What the fuck was Brook thinking?

Umpires call

Nup straighter than that. Terrible review as it turns out.

Tongue gets one to nip back like the first innings

[NTA]

I'm off to bed. Good conditions for England to bowl so interesting to see what it will look like when I wake up

[mariner4life]

Warner is a wasted spot

Ah! The joys of the steadfast UK media.

@Catogrande

Read his book - At the Close of Play - when in came out. Really boring read. Hard to believe it's the same bloke listening to him.

[KiwiMurph]

Marnus dead plum lbw but Stokes doesn't review and Broad is furious.

[KiwiMurph]

Not that it matters - England are stuffed

[Donsteppa]

The game certainly has changed from late in Day Two...

91 runs in a match is a good return.

Will be interesting how long Australia bat for, they’re in a great position. How’s the weather forecast ?

No Lyon could well be a massive factor though.

[Donsteppa]

Not specific to the current series, but very sad news about Allan Border. For a few years in the 80s it seemed like he was THE Australian team. First man to 11,000 test runs.
