WTC and Ashes 2023

Credit where it's due, the tail stayed in the fight where we could have just folded. We are still in this, but as WOB says we need the bowlers (again) to roll England cheaply. The track is clearly doing enough to make batting challenging.

Another nerve shredding day in this series.

 

[Derpus]

Murphy and Cummins to pull our misfiring batters out of the fire again. Marnus with 9 of 82 balls is surely a Bazball troll.

Another nerve shredding day in this series.

Being somewhat biased but strictly-speaking neutral has its advantages...

Head and Carey were just stupid dismissals. Labiashame also a tentative prod rather than using his feet.

The shine has come off some of these blokes.

Carey just fell right into the trap Root set for him. Can't believe he played such a dumb shot

He fell in after asking "Is this the trap? The one with the big sign saying 'THIS IS A TRAP' right next to the one that says 'SHIT GETS WICKETS', yeah?"

It was a rank pie tossed up well away from anything dangerous.

[Derpus]

Gunna need a few wickets and quick to stay in this.

 

[John S]

Well, they're coming slowly. Not quick enough with a lead of 200, England have it unless our batsmen really turn things around

 

[Derpus]

We won't be able to chase down anything beyond 300 I'd say.

 

[Derpus]

Well we are fucked. Sport can eat a dick.

 

[Sword of Justice]

I'd suggest some more rain dancing folks. And Labba will likely need to not play so exuberantly in this second innings...

 

[John S]

Well the Poms have left themselves four sessions too many to get us out. It's all done by tea tonight

Labuschagne can easily make an 800 ball 37 run stand. The other 10 batters should be able to keep out 300 balls between them.

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

It's looking pretty grim and honestly the boys look exhausted. I hope we don't see a repeat of that kind of gruelling schedule.

 

[Dctarget]

Fuck me you’d think this weekend can’t get any better but wait, then your girlfriend crashes your car. AhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHAHAHAHHAH

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

Oh no.... hopefully the damage isn't too great!

 

[Dctarget]

Oh no.... hopefully the damage isn't too great!

I think they’re fucked tbh, 377 runs seems insurmountable.

the car will survive another day though, most just one panel in a carpark, managed to confuse the accelerator and the brake somehow

 

[Agent]

I can’t watch this - it’s too nerve racking!!

 

[John S]

I keep thinking that Warner's going to go know he's got 20
