The Ashes 2023

[WalterBecker]

Think Root could be bowling a few overs over the next couple of days, looked like it was beginning to turn a bit this afternoon. Pity no Mohin.

Broad retires, felt like he had more in him but he wasn't keen to tour Pakistan so I'm not sure India is for him. legend.

Wonder if Anderson may follow suit?

Wonder if it's just test cricket or all cricket? Seems to be something nice about retiring from test cricket to give a bit back to your county.

Got a young kid. Touring takes its toll. What a career

Broad is a genuine legend of English sport. He sometimes slightly walked in Anderson's shadow, who is also a legend who doesnt get the plaudits outside of the sport he should.

Going out whilst still on top of his game. That 8-15 in one morning.

I think he said cricket so it sounded definitive

No doubt, I'm the same age as him and trying to get into a position were I no longer have to travel for work.

 

[Connor]

Absolutely gutted about that

The pace bowling stocks are dry at the minute too

Broad going out at the top, he's been an outstanding cricketer for England. Absolute legend and tomorrow will be a special day to be at the Oval.

One last virtuoso performance to tear through the Convicts please Stuart.

Best of luck in retirement

Pretty gutted about Broad but fair play to him going out still right at the top

One of the greats

Tongue looks like he can come into the fold. There's a lad from Durham who played a test or two earlier this year I think. If wood and woakes can stay fit I think we'll be okay. Big shoes to fill though, just looking at the wickets the likes of Broad and Anderson have taken.

 

[Walken]

Well done to Stokes, Key and Baz for getting Anderson and Broad not only back involved but revved up again after it looked all over for them in a rather unpleasant fashion.

Sam Curran can play test cricket, Robinson, Tongue and Potts will all have an opportunity. Maybe just maybe Archer might get a bit of luck with his body

Will forever be one of the great bowling displays

Potts is the one I was thinking of. And yes, in certain conditions Curran can come in too.

Anderson seems more stubborn
