Ashes 2023

Is there a grumpier man in cricket than Ian Chappell ?

'Bugger off': Chappell fires up at England request

'It should be left to the curator'

[Donsteppa]

Barmy Army social media seems excited about cloud around Edgbaston this morning...

Edit: but the covers are on...

[Duluth]

More happening this morning. Broad on a hat trick

[Donsteppa]

Marnus lazily hangs out the bat against a swinging ball and gets punished accordingly.

[Donsteppa]

Might be a good morning for Smith's over exaggerated footwork. Concrete shoes haven't worked so far this morning.

[NTA]

Called it

[Catogrande]

@MN5 Chappell is not wrong IMO. However such tactics are hardly confined to Stokes and England.

Good effort from head

You have to catch that surely.

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

What the hell ???? Shouldn’t that be the most natural thing a person can do ?

Intriguing test.

Warner to get 200, Australia all out for just under 600.

Bold prediction...

[Donsteppa]

By his facial expressions, Smith is a terrible judge of whether LBW shouts against him are even remotely valid

[Catogrande]

Great celebration by Khawaja for his ton. That one really meant something to him.

All I came here to say is, how is that fluffybunny out there in a thick knit vest?

Yeah he is a bit of a passenger these days aside from that 200 he got against SA.There on reputation alone.

Great for team moral though, popular bloke.

Probably still felt like a spring day in Australia to a cold blooded fellow like himself

[MN5]

Interesting to see how much of a lead Australia can get, if any. Depends on how much support the ‘Waj” gets.

Massive hats off to Anderson and Broad for continuing to slog away. Two very good bowlers with absolutely incredible longevity.

Didn’t see much of day 2. Looks like a bit of spin on the highlights? Might be a big factor in the 4th innings?

[sparky]

Dropped catches, a missed stumping and lots of no balls. England missed their chances on the afternoon of Dsy 2 and have squandered whatever advantage they had in this Test. It's still going to be hard-fought but Australia in the ascendancy heading into Day 3.

[Catogrande]

@sparky

From what I saw, Stokes over-bowled himself. He seemed to have no rhythm at all.
