WTC and Ashes 2023

[Sword of Justice]

Stokes' leg looks fucked. Have to get a good length going to test the footwork. Can't give him any balls where a swing will be enough to get the boundary even if the deep fielders are in play.

 

[CoinboxSoldier]

Fuck we are a charity to their tail

 

[Sword of Justice]

Cummins has kept his spell going for way too long.

The bowling since lunch has been playing right into their grubby soap dodging Hands

Cummins has kept his spell going for way too long.

I was expecting him to get Boland on the over after he got carted

 

[Sword of Justice]

I'm glad Murphy got him in the end. Might have been quite traumatic, hopefully it hasn't been.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

We gave 100 runs away.

At least we got something of a lead but the pressure is on now.

 

[CoinboxSoldier]

Finally we got the kiwi out

 

[John S]

That was an expensive wicket

 

[John S]

Cummins went from 5-66 to 6-91, not sure getting a 6 fer was worth it from Pat

 

[Sword of Justice]

The forecast is looking pretty dreadful. I think we would need a 300 run lead here otherwise given the way they chase and we bowl.

 

[Pfitzy]

Warner is Broad's bitch

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

The shit eating fake grin as he walks off really bothered me.

 

[Sword of Justice]

I'm struggling to see how an argument for retaining Warner could be made at this point. It's just been so many innings since anything actually good.

 

[John S]

I know he was angling to retire in Sydney, but he's really going to have to make runs in the last two tests to be still playing in the summer series.

However it is harder to get out of the test team than into it

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Especially with nobody demanding selection who's a top order player.

 

[John S]

Especially with nobody demanding selection who's a top order player.

That's probably the biggest/only reason he's still in the side

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

Feel we’ve let England off the hook here. When we got Woakes it should have been foot on the throat and put them away.

This really has been a nerve shredding series.

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

FFS Marnus you moron. No need for that and you’ve got yourself out again.

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

Fuck and now Smudge. We are chucking this game away.


Wake up boys!
