The Ashes 2023

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 !

Would you like a cuddle?

Problems now for Stokes, runs coming too freely off Root.

Didn't get it right early on and now struggle to stop the momentum

If this pair get to 200 it’s done.

We look a shambles now

Time for some brook wobbles!

Very strange how flat England are. Weather conditions are in their favour (as seems to have been the case throughout the series) and just nothing is happening although pinging Khawaja may just spark something.
If it doesn’t, Australia may we’ll win this … and would thoroughly deserve to do so if that proves to be the case

Your family must be so proud.

Never quite understood the 'look at how great I am' personality. It just screams of insecurity, even if it is just an online persona. In fact that may make it just that little bit weirder.

Back to the game, first time in the series that England have looked a bit clueless in the field. Fair play to Warner & Kawaja, they have played this perfectly.

They haven't won anything yet. But if Aus get the target it would have been a huge effort by them on a 4 day old pitch. Fair dues if they do, it would literally be record breaking though.

The pitch looks fine to me. Playing no major tricks. I said so yesterday.

Still a great effort

What winds me up is how everyone is quick to assault me when something I think will happen doesn’t, but when it does they all crawl back under their rocks

Because this is what children do?!

If you are all billy big bollocks with correct predictions then you should expect some fire back when ones are wrong.

Nobody has a 100% success rate, if you act like you do then people will pull you up on it.
