Ashes 2023

Crawley edged one behind but Cummins did not go for the referral. The BBC ball by ball coverage got a great text in about it:-

"To be fair, it's hard to hear an edge when the whole side is 75 yards away on the boundary."

I think there only one who thought he nicked it was Crawley

@KiwiMurph sure thing mr “competitive series”.

Right I’m off to the golf club for 9 holes and avo session in the sun over beers.

Enjoy!

Looks too good to be true

NTA

Oh right the tip of the thumb. Wow.

Good poker face from Crawley

Those are the 3 wickets everyone expected, but perhaps not at that rate. One wonders what could have been if the deck offered anything at all.

NTA

Brook very agressive but he's finding the right balls to play it against.

Got away with that one tho. Good effort from head

KiwiMurph

Good effort from head

You have to catch that surely.

KiwiMurph

I think Head is a bit more suited to infield than outfield

@NTA said in Ashes 2023:

Yep but according to Tubs Taylor "he's not a natural catcher" 🙄

NTA

That's about as weird a dismissal as you'll get. Unlucky for Brook

KiwiMurph

Haha holy shit.

KiwiMurph

That sucks - gun bat who averages 80+ gets out to that meanwhile Marnus is about the luckiest bloke in cricket history

NTA

Wasted review

NTA

Leg side ish

NTA

And height. That was a better review but not by much

Bairstow to go on and get a ton

KiwiMurph

Bloody impressive return from Bairstow.

KiwiMurph

Another fielding error by the Aussies - Carey drops Bairstow

KiwiMurph

Lyon makes sure the damage isn't too bad. Gets Bairstow.
