WTC and Ashes 2023

[Derpus]

Well they've had a solid start. Youd think at least one of these two will need a century if we are to win this.

It would be peak comedy for Warner to hit a tonne in the final test

Off for rain and apparently it's settling in.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Well fuck me.

What a way to make a dead rubber absolute must watch.

If Warner does this he can just retire when he wants…. Sydney Test 2026.

Unlimited cardoons

If we end up loosing I wonder if the Pommy media will feel sorry for us because the rain halted our momentum just when we were starting to get on top!!

Probably not

Probably not

No I don’t think so either!!

I am surprised by Broad’s retirement decision. As an Aussie definitely not disappointed as he has been a terrific competitor over the years, but I thought he was still playing well enough to stick around for another couple of years. I think he has a lot more to offer at the moment than Anderson.

He definitely has more to offer than Anderson.

Is it all Cricket or just Tests because Broad would still have the ability to get contracts in Tournaments around the world for a couple of years.

 

[Agent]

Fair call. He would look good playing for the Sydney Thunder in the BBL.

Not in a month of Sundays did I think we'd be in this position going into day 5.

How good. I'm trying to work out if being rained out this morning has helped or hindered us.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Well, it's shifted the pressure on England to get 10 wickets IMO. If we can bat a day regardless of light/rain and the game ends in a Draw we win the series 2/1.

Looks like no rain but bit cloudy for tomorrow. Good day for wickets.

Surely it can't happen and Warner will knick off in the first three overs but would love for both openers to ton up.

I couldn't watch last night because I was waiting for Warner to guide one nicely to 2nd slip. One of these 2 have to go on and score a big ton to give us a hope. Fingers crossed!! 3-1 would really upset the Poms and put a smile on all the Aussie faces.

Hopefully really bad light and they can’t bowl their pace bowlers.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Root will be rooted in that case.

 

[John S]

And I'm losing hope again

Anyone know why they replaced the ball last night? The ball according to BBC looks 15 overs old, not 37

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Has to be out of shape or a big tear in it. Was after hitting Khawaja in the Helmet right?

They definitely got some good trade in value looking at the replacement.
