Ashes 2023

A pretty good summation on the Starc catch from Ponting and Strauss. Not sure if it clears it up but some good reasoning all round.

Better get two wickets quickly or we're fucked

Hazlewood should just bowl like Hazlewood. Don't worry about this short ball shit. Top of off at pace. Frustrate them out

THE FUCKING HOFF

CONTROVERSY INBOUND!

Wow. That's a big call.

I mean, starc's catch last night was overruled based on the laws. So I guess ... Wow

Shouldn't be controversial at all. As Athens just said, nothing to complain about at all - it was just a dozy bit of play from Bairstow.

[NTA]

Ach. Dropped. Tough chance

[NTA]

This is juicy play tho. Bit of controversy, bit of heat. Bit of chat.

[NTA]

Rubbish from Green

[NTA]

Lol Stokes is going to get them home before drinks next session

[NTA]

Very sporting from the Lords crowd

[NTA]

Off to bed. Well done England - despite the controversy, rubbish bowling from Australia at points instead of going back to basics

Yeah, as Strauss said of the Starc catch, either way it was a sloppy bit of fielding from Starc. Same with Bairstow, a dopey moment.

[MajorRage]

Lunch time pundits all saying Bairstow in the wrong, simple as that.

Top tier play to win at all costs, gotta do the basics.

Crowd reaction would be the same world over. Anybody suggesting SCG / MCG / Eden Park would be better is 100% full of shit snd they know it.

Aussies walking through The Long Room was something else!!

[KiwiMurph]

Cripes what a session of cricket.

Was expecting an adjustment from the Aus bowling at the end but nope they kept dishing it up and Stokes impressively kept punishing them.

Smith catches better with 1 hand than 2 hands. That's a poor drop.
