[Cricket] The Ashes- England v Australia- 1st Test, Birmingham, June 16 - 20, 2023

[jcdenton08]

217-5 is not bad at all against one of the best attacks in the world - if Root can see the day out and others potter along steadily, we will be in a great position.

Can they put Warner where Labuschange is?

Really good partnership this, and it’s put us right back in it. I was a bit worried with those two quick wickets.

Could have been very different had there not been the review system in place (or had Root not got a glove to it) when that LBW was initially given about 10 minutes after those two wickets.

YJB dropped…….seems to be going full Bazball now.

Is the (not very) Barmy Army made up entirely of Spurs and Southampton fans?

'hey fellow Barmyists let's sing 'shit Moeen Ali', again?'


Fluckin tiresome.

300 up...

I think 400 is a par score batting first on this lawn.
