Picard Posted 4 July, 2023 Share Posted 4 July, 2023 Reminds me a bit of the last ball of last year's T20 final with Lancs claiming the ball wasn't dead. Could be a bit of needle if we play Lancs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 6 July, 2023 Share Posted 6 July, 2023 Hate to say it but we’ve looked a lot better without Anderson this morning. I don’t see how he gets back in if Broad, Wood, Woakes and Tongue are all fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 7 July, 2023 Share Posted 7 July, 2023 You wonder why the Aussies even bother playing Warner in an Ashes test.

Mixedkebab Posted 9 July, 2023 Share Posted 9 July, 2023 (edited) Without most of the England top order throwing wickets away, combined with daft field settings and short bowling gifting the Aussies plenty of extra runs, this could easily be 3-0 England if they can just tighten up and leave the short and wide balls better they can still take the series (and dropped catches behind, Fowkes for Bairstow would be good) Edited 9 July, 2023 by Mixedkebab 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dman Posted 10 July, 2023 Share Posted 10 July, 2023 16 hours ago, whelk said: Close imo, England have been the better side for the large majority of this series. We've just been rubbish at the big moments and, lets be honest, reckless batting and disgraceful fielding has meant we've never really been able to pull ahead from them. Aus haven't really played all that well, have been without (arguably) their most dangerous bowler and haven't had to work all that hard for their wins. It easily could and maybe even should be 3-0 England. I'm all for being aggressive, playing on the front foot, but sometimes you need to sense when there is danger and when to ride out the storm (Duckett swinging at absolutely everything 30 mins before COP in bowler friendly conditions springs to mind). Someone needs to have a word because the batting has been out right braindead for most of this series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weston Super Saint Posted 19 July, 2023 Share Posted 19 July, 2023 Why do they insist on playing test matches in Manchester? A 'must win' game for England and the match is likely to be influenced massively by the predictably rainy weather they get year round in the area!

Us Northerners, both sides on the Pennines, will miss out next time, nothing further North than Nottingham for the next home Ashes. ( Which according to the bloke from the ECB on the radio yesterday means that there will still be a 'northern' test. Not sure he has a grasp of geography ) And if you are complaining about "shitty northern weather", Leeds is wetter than Manchester, Edited 23 July, 2023 by badgerx16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
