The Ashes 2023

Everyone criticised the Aussies tactics and field settings, but why not when you know the opposition aren't prepared to bat time.

Even more baffling for England to do this when Lyon is off the field and probably won’t bowl again this test. Just ride it out.

Zero problems with the aggression, that’s fine.

Just can’t abide by horrid cricket shots, which every shot has been.

 

[Connor]

Like, what is that shot from Brook? Just knock it into the offside and run soft arse

20/20 we need 12 an over

 

[Milk]

Brook playing an ugly innings

Pity, he’s better than this

 

[davids]

Trying their best to lose the Ashes in one session.

 

[neil999]

Stokes is ducking all the short balls... Is the messaging not getting through?

 

[maccavennie]

Brook very lucky

 

[Connor]

England's day but shouldn't be 4 down

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Stokes played very well. Brook settled a bit after a mad start. Still definitely England’s day especially with Lyon injured. We just should be in a much better position.

Wasted opportunity yet again - forgot how to play test match cricket trying to play mental shots almost every ball.

So frustrating - the Aussies will be laughing their heads off.

I dunno. No chance with Lyon out they can bowl like that for a sustained period. Morning session tomorrow is massive for this game.

Super days cricket from England, they've put time back in the game and made a result possible by playing without fear of losing. England teams of the past would have played defensively and lost anyway, not that they will get any credit from the usual 'back in the day' blerts like agnew

I believe they’re getting in @Kev The Rat, to give them a motivational talk over breakfast.
