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

[Machiavelli]

Stokes will get Kawaja....

Stokes has got Kawaja

 

[A1X]

Aussies to play for a draw now ?

They’d be better off slogging, they keep getting out to limp defensive shots right now

 

[Machiavelli]

Botham-esque

Just said the same on a different group

 

[pasty]

Officially excited

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Certainly getting exciting with that wicket. Wasn’t expecting to be up at 1am watching but determined to finish

 

[doogie004]

No matter what it is exciting

 

[Si Gull]

Should be England's game now.

 

[Jeremiah]

Whatever the result England will come out with greater credit than the Aussies.

England going for it throughout the test with a weakened side.

Whatever the result England will come out with greater credit than the Aussies.

England going for it throughout the test with a weakened side.

We also know “Bazball” definitely works against the Aussies, they’ve been rattled from ball 1 of the test

 

[Machiavelli]

Why do that?

The icon might explain things

 

[Bodian]

The icon might explain things

Yes - I did think that!!

 

[The Wizard]

Root to be the new front line spinner?

Fantastic bowling

 

[ManOfSussex]

Oh Root........

 

[The Wizard]

Oh Root........

I see that as more of a save of 4 than a drop, no chance that sticks in anyones hands who doesn’t have absolute mitts

 

[Eeyore]

You lucky bastard

EDIT: You lucky bastard again

 

[The Wizard]

The Aussies are attempting to have a biff now

 

[ManOfSussex]

Which Root does. Very difficult chance, but a chance nonetheless.

 

[dazzer6666]

Got him !

 

[ManOfSussex]

He held on to that one! You beauty!

 

[A1X]

What a grab that is, he’s deserved that wicket
