Ashes 2021-22

I reckon they’ll declare with a lead of 300 and go from there. Still ample time to have them two or three down for fuck all at close of play today.

[MN5]

Gilly just said Kawaja looked like Brian Lara with that last four. Hard to argue to be honest. Absolute class.

[NTA]

@mn5 he's got that glorious flashing blade style. Wristy

Easy batting now. No pressure. Green should be making hay here.

Yeah England are no chance now, are they giving Khawaja time to go for a hundie ?

[NTA]

@mn5 and giving green time for a 50.

[MN5]

Getting a hundie in both innings after being recalled would be a sensational effort and he’s looking fucken good to achieve that

Some slog sweep 6s. Not bad.

About time someone fucked up Root's bullshit average.

[NTA]

Green takes a single at the end of the over.

The crowd boo.

[NTA]

Well played that man. Stuck thru some tough shit and showed his poise when others fucked up.

Now go T20 mode

[MN5]

Awesome Waj. I hope this is a really strong second coming in your career. A hundie in each innings is great.

[NTA]

Interesting that Carey is coming out. Ponting mitt happy in comms. Suspect Carey will try T20 mode just to get some runs and time in the middle

If weather fucks up tomorrow... Well . ..

[NTA]

Yeah nothing like giving Leach a couple of freebies...

Finishes with 4-84. Not bad for the worst cricketer @mariner4life has ever seen.

Declaration comes, I’m picking England to be two down at stumps.

[MN5]

The stats nerd in me loves the fact that the Waj has increased his batting average from 40 to 43.

[NTA]

Let's fucking go

[NTA]

Moving East at a rate...

[NTA]

About 15-20 minutes away from serious rain halting play for the day. Maybe less if it picks up speed

Those clouds look threatening.

I don’t think I’ve ever been in a bigger downpour than one I was in back in 2004 in Sydney in January. A hot female co worker and I were walking to a bar to meet everyone else and the rain rendered her skimpy top pretty much useless, more transparent than glass, what a memory.

I think this was round the time Steve Waugh got a hundred in his last innings just to keep things on topic.
