Ashes 2023

Bat until lunch and then scuttle the Aussies out before the rain

Declare ffs

Bazball rocks !!!
But for Cummins and Lyon scratching out 60 runs, England would be lauded to the rafters.
Also, if Aus lose (and even if they don't) Langer's mates have really got it in for Cummins. he's not a great captain, but the aussie toxicity is ridiculous
-
If England go on to win this series there will be a blood letting back home
There are still more than a few people unhappy with how Langer got rissolled. Every success since then will be forgotten as scapegoats are sought
-
Any poor fluffybunnies on the fern who actually live in Manchester ? Can they confirm the weather report ?
Australia are really all sorts of fucked if the rain doesn’t save them. Their big batting guns just haven’t quite fired. Simple as that.( bus change is still in to be fair )
Going in with two batting all rounders hasn’t helped the bowling either.

It is not looking good for England at 9:45 am

There might be some play this afternoon. Morning session will be washed away.
England need enough play for 60 overs to win I think

I thought England were carrying on like a pack of piston wristed gibbons when they went on about moral victories etc in the first two tests.
…..but if the Weather or an extraordinary rearguard effort from Australia means they don’t actually win here they they’re probably justified in going on about it. They’ve been incredible this match.
Bad luck Bairstow, sux to end up unbeaten on 99 ( good for the average though )
At least he did it in 81 balls. Geoffrey Boycott did it in 285 back in the day !
