The Ashes 2023

[Jimishorts]

I said the pitch looked favourable - check

I said the Australian batsmen are no worse than ours so no reason they can’t make the same total we did - check

I said Australia were in the driving seat - check

No one here listened - check !

Rodent chats wham - check

 

[Wat Tyler]

Had to be.

Last ball bowled - wicket taken to win match.

Last ball faced - hit a six.

What a guy.

Oops sorry

 

[ToffeeTim]

Great series of cricket.

Possibly the fair result, 2 even teams in the end, despite the massive contrast in styles.

Shame about the 4th test rain, but that's sport.

Obviously Broad will get the headlines but what an effort from Moeen given he's playing injured.

Runs on the board all day long in test cricket

There's a reason 380+ doesn't happen often in the fourth innings. It's really hard to score that many with scoreboard pressure.

Class from Broad. What a player! What a series! Rain costing us in Manchester. Gutted

 

[tommytowne]

Will the records show an asterisk against the result to signify English winning the series except for the Manchester weather?

Brilliant test match, great series. Genuinely when its like this it's the best sport of them all. I thoroughly enjoy it whereas I always feel like I'm further and further detached from football.

Be gutted in 10 days time when there isn't another test.

Man like Mooen!

 

[TommyDavo]

Everyone has shut up now as my correct statements last night on the outlook for this match come to fruition

Did you predict an England win?

 

[Joey66]

Never in doubt lol

 

[ToffeeTim]

All 4 results in the series were by either less than 50 runs, or 3 or fewer wickets

Best series of test cricket since 2005

It wasn't a fair outcome to the series.
But for the weather England win 3-2 and should have been 2-1 up going to Old Trafford.
One team played attacking cricket the other employed ultra negative tactics.

English supporters being called out and shown up for the fat disrespectful gammons they are.

@Kev The Rat absolutely spot on, crowing when they’re on top and (apart from a couple of posters) absolute crickets when they’re having a bad day.

well well well.
