[Cricket] Ashes 2021-22

[GT49er]

Green pitch. Overcast conditions.

Have a bat then

Get it over with quick?

Have we lost yet?

Won't be long

I’m really tired. I have 2 children under 4, and got strep throat - feeling really run down and rough for about a week or so now (not covid).

I desperately need to catch up on some sleep, as my eldest will likely wake me up around 6am tomorrow morning demanding I play with him.

Why the **** am I still going to watch the first session tonight? What’s wrong with me?

Its the Hope that Kills You...

You're optimistic!

 

[dazzer6666]

You're optimistic!

I factored in a shorter session due to the late start, and 27 extras

Overcast, damp conditions, batting first on the greenest wicket ever prepared in Ashes history. What could possibly go wrong?

 

[PeterT]

3-0 it is then.

Is that 3 runs for no wickets, or the Aussie way of putting it so 3 wickets without a run?

 

[Beach Hut]

What could possibly go wrong?

Everything

Hameed gone for 0

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Great ball. Not really sure what Hameed could have done.

But, yes, FFS and all that.

This on a day when Ray Illingworth passed away.

 

[Eeyore]

Great ball. Not really sure what Hameed could have done.

But, yes, FFS and all that.

Perhaps played, or not played it, from the crease. It's been noticeable how he hangs the bat out in Australia. He just cannot adapt. You can see why they had the short square (taken out now).

England have left the ball well. The worry is the one that seams back. But if they are judging their lengths they should be fine. Well, should.

I so wish they'd won the toss. Lots of seam, but not much swing mind.

13-4-2

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Both openers gone within 35 mins,when Boycott/Edrich/Tavere would still be in at the Close.

Not sure you can have three batsman in at once
