1st Ashes Test England v Australia June 16-20 1930hrs @ Edgbaston

[Soggy2112]

Didn't take the Poms long to turn to coward tactics.

Body lining a tail ender.

Eh, go for it, Cummins is pretty well equipped to handle Broad’s bouncers.

When the shoes on the other foot though…

 

[Santana]

This is some ADHD Cricket

 

[Altum Volantes]

"the dashes - the double ashes"
"the women's ashes, a multi format series, including t20s"

F me. Can't we have just one nice thing to ourselves?
What bails did they burn?

I’d have gone with The Lashes - the Lady Ashes.

I mean they aren’t ‘Ladies’ anymore but ya know….take it as a compliment love.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Why the Ashes?
Why couldn't it just have been something, anything else and done it's own thing.
Like the vast majority watching this, I have zero interest in the "women's ashes" - and get tired of getting told how it's "just as important" yadayada

Many Will watch both I know I will looking forward to watching Phoebe

 

[Westend]

come on ussie digging a hole atm

 

[Anzacpaul]

Cummins done his job. Just a shame Ussie hasn't scored a run for an hour.

 

[Westend]

good 140

 

[ptrg]

Must have been a rough 4-6 seconds in the coverage.

Don't read the papers do you? Or even watch the full coverage? Plenty of mentions about the importance of the dual ashes etc.

I'm not arguing against women's cricket - just purely the reasoning for calling their series the Ashes, and then trying to hype up the equal importance of the series.

It's clearly not, but don't let that stop the narrative

Kwawaja is batting for a draw.

I wonder how Broad, Anderson & co secretly felt about Stokes requesting flat wickets for the series...I can't imagine they would of been over the moon.

A request to hide the total shitness of their top order and doom the English bowlers to hour upon hour of toil.

I go upstairs and give the missus what for and you campaigners have written 5 pages and there hasn't even been a wicket :O

 

[Foucault1989]

Note the difference between their quicks economy rates and ours. Tells a story.

What's the stats?

If we get 24 more runs it means very little really.

 

[tombomb]

I'm kind of surprised by how lifeless Robinson has been in this innings.

He runs in like he is doing England a favour by being there.

 

[Sir_Loin]

Seriously if usman doesn’t get 1,000 on this deck it’s a waste

 

[Iceman!]

They have a concern over Ali and 2 geriatrics and a fatty. Batting time and slowly getting a lead is smart.

No rush

I'm enjoying the hype - looking forward to watching!

Fitness issues me thinks

Not too surprising from what I have seen from him in the past

 

[deedog2]

Kwawaja is batting for a draw.

Khwaja is playing perfect test cricket

 

[rippersnipper]

I know he's had a sleep and all, but Uz could just genuinely be mentally drained at this point.

 

[Bedi]

Yeah ok

Interpretive skills lacking is how I’d describe you. Jog on mate.

The missus:

 

[Foucault1989]

Good call. This is terrible from England. Embarassing. 125 km body line

 

[ams4crows]

The more time we take up now do you think that will force England to bat even quicker?? Which in turn could be their downfall?

At what point do they say well if we keep going like this we will lose and so need to hold up a bit?
