The Ashes 2025

How utterly bonkers was that! Aussies must have been cock-a-hoop at England first innings and now devastated at theirs.

Cricket is a wonderful game.

What I hope will happen tomorrow

Get the last wicket quickly so the lead is 30 or more

Bat out the rest of the day for a lead of almost 300

3rd innings is so important in these tight matches so need the top order to bat much better.

What a day's cricket that was.
Nothing even gets close to The Ashes for drama does it.

Day 1 done.
24 more to go.

I'm not sure any match will go to day 5 in this series unless there is bad weather!

Has there ever been a two day finish in a test?

Fit in with the locals by sinking some cold ones and shagging a roo.

Do any modern batsmen know how to bat on a quick wicket?

Only Green looked like he had a plan and then got bored.

Boycott will be effing and jeffing about it somewhere. Wouldn't want to be his wife tonight. Or any night, for that matter.

Snaffle the wicket early and then amass a lead of 300-350. Apparently the wickets in WA flatten out from end of day 2 to day 3. Can see Aus chasing anything around 250 with relative ease

Would absolutely love to get out there for the ashes, just go and take in the whole experience. take anything Everton out of the equation, and their is nothing more i look forward too.

Best rivalry out there.

Reckon the aussies might be looking for some flat pitches after facing that barrage today?

I wonder if Smith and Labuschagne might have some issues from today. I can't imagine being whacked on the elbow at that pace is going to be pleasant.

England fan energy this morning

Yarrgh · Friday at 11:50 AM

It didn't even click that England had already batted when I saw the Australians were 7 wickets down. Will tune in tomorrow for that. Hopefully it'll be still going when I wake up...

Their clear advantage is spin bowling so you'd think they'd want to bring Lyon more into it. Adelaide and Sydney will turn you'd expect. Not sure about under lights in Brisbane.
