The Ashes 2025

[Rita_Poon]

256/20 day one. (inc extras).
so 128/10.
so 12.8 per wicket average.

That is 'kin low!

 

[Connor]

Can’t wait until they rip this England team up

 

[Wizard]

Having gone to bed at 8-3 I’m actually amazed to wake up and see we even made it to 100. Just so bad again.

 

[Rita_Poon]

How little faith do you have to have in yourself and your teammates to be drowning your sorrows before the game?

 

[ToffeeTim]

The wicket was certainly not easy to bat on but to be bowled out in under 30 overs is another pathetic effort. If you don't want to bat time you have no chance in test cricket against good sides

You also can't have inaccurate new ball bowling like we saw from Carse. Because you won't get easy runs like that off the Australian bowlers.

I know he top scored but that first waft from Brook against Starc was one of the worst shots I’ve ever seen - considering all of the background noise.

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Awful wicket to be honest, fast bowling is the reason I watch and played the game, but too much assistance on offer. Not too many bad shots led to dismissals on either side.

 

[Norlye]

So 4 games into the Australia tour the England bowlers are now bowling a better length.

Who would have thought playing cricket, rather than golf and drinking alcohol excessively, was a better preparation.

Hopefully these geniuses are taking notes for the 2029 tour.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Hopefully taking notes?

Try P45 time!

 

[Rita_Poon]

Right, an hour away, if aus dig in and rack up a score then the wicket has calmed and they'll amass a huge score then put the wofters in after lunch tomorrow.

Wofters fc can't bat a day, let alone 2.5 days. Crying off for empathy most likely and wrapped up by tomorrow mid morning. Sooner this leeches towards the inevitable 5-0 the better. Let the cull begin.

Over prepared
Empathy
Out on the razz
It's the pitches fault
To sharp
Not sharp
Sharpish
Hot weather

Like listening to d**** dream up one of his devious contrarian plots.

Ambling through the day having a lovely time and then this thread pops up again.

Ffs



Just bring the useless tossers home

 

[Rita_Poon]

Make them return on that pedalo Fred had a beano on. They can take turns, like at bat...

 

[maccavennie]

Carse better get 5 for 3 runs this spell

 

[Rita_Poon]

Carse better get 5 pints for 3 aus dollars this spell

god damn right!

 

[maccavennie]

Carse better get 5 for 3 runs this spell

Yeah that's not happening already. Fella just cant put 6 balls together with any accuracy at all
