[Cricket] The Ashes - England v Australia - 4th Test, Old Trafford, July 19-23, 2023

[Bodian]

At least 5 wickets by close of play please.

9 or 10....

 

[Badger]

Warner LBW b. Broad 3

Sorry, just getting the post ready.

Weather looks OK for the rest of today (maybe a few sharp showers around 5pm). Saturday horrendous. Sunday - dodgy in the morning, but just showery in the afternoon (and play can continue for an extra hour, if an hour or more is lost). I'm assuming the England team has a VERY detailed weather forecast.

 

[Bodian]

Right - got to go out to the shops, otherwise the domestic management will not be getting her egg & chips tonight. Hopefully when I get back they'll be at least two down.

 

[Arkwright]

Shows what I know, firmly in the Foakes camp and Bairstow plays an innings like that.
Now I also wanted Tongue in for Anderson so maybe Jimmy can make me look a complete arse and get a 5 fer.

Damn you Sky, just popped to the kitchen and came back.to.a picture of Broad celebrating ... a previous wicket.


Bastards

 

[Ali_rrr]

Openers are looking comfortable at the moment...

 

[The Wizard]

The relentless giving Anderson the new ball feels quite frustrating now, should be Woakes based on form.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Ali again bowling far too many bad balls

 

[Bodian]

Here we go...

Stupid waste of a review. What a shame....

 

[A1X]

What a dumb review. Lol.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

I would hate to be asked to field close in when Ali bowls you are never sure what is coming.

 

[Bodian]

Could do a Job

 

[Eeyore]

Yep, apparently:

This is the first time since 1985 that England have made 500 in a home Ashes Test. They have done it six times in Australia since then, last in Sydney in 2011.

And the famous one at Adelaide... where we still managed to lose.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Warner drags on. 54-2

 

[banjo]

Yesssss

 

[A1X]

Bye bye Davey

 

[Bozza]

Come on!
