The Ashes 2023

The tactics are completely correct against a team who don't look to bat time. Its given England new questions to answer. Are they content to rotate strike and take easy singles while remaining patient?

Of course they are. There are many ways to score 5 an over especially when you are gifted singles with no risk

The tactics kept the scoring rate at under 3. Although we will obviously need to see more because the conditions for batting were abysmal earlier

England’s best chance the draw now, but that’s also odds on if they can make it to 250 or so and last most of tomorrow.

Tuesday looks a write off weather wise.

'Bairstow ball' - costly!

England lost the match in that 20 minute spell

We put up with you in the Everton forum this season wanna do us all a favour and jog on from this one comrade?

The scoring rate dropped dramatically in the final session because of the bad light and the fact that the ball started to behave abnormally

I'm not sure why they waited so long to call off the day's play. There was water everywhere, just look at the splash when Green took the catch. It was barely playable for club cricket, never mind a test match.

It was definitely a good thing for England there was no more cricket because those conditions were awful for batting.

Australia's ball will be a mess after being wet though but yes only losing 2 in those conditions is a win for England.

Genuine question about ali getting a fine....
Was the spray a deliberate attempt to influence his bowling, or was it just trying to alleviate the injured finger?
But harsh if it was for a medical issue
