The Ashes 2025

When's the next hiding taking place?

 

[Tommy Chong]

Plenty of bad pundits about, TMS and TNT are certainly among them. Generally I think cricket does commentary better than most sports though.

Could listen to these two chat all day

Agee mate. Especially Nasser Hussain. He always comes across as fairly levelheaded and reasonable in his punditry analysis.

Michael Vaughan: Hearing Bondi Beach attacks was terrifying

Former England captain Michael Vaughan has described hearing gunshots during Sunday's attack at Bondi Beach as "terrifying".

www.bbc.co.uk

Goes to show how dangerous and unpredictable this was.

Just over a day away now... Was about to use a well known phrase ('do or die time!') but that seems very out of place considering the last 24 hours. Instead let's go, minutes silence for the killed, and a minutes ovation for the hero of Bondi and all the responders that played their part in limiting the tragedy. Hope England can turn up and show some stiff upper lip, some daring do, and some grit that'd make Beefy proud.

Play ball.

Derring do.

At least when we get battered this time it will be by Cummins, lyon and starc. Humiliating getting pumped by bang average dobbers like boland, neser and doggert

I wonder how long it'll take England to lose the third test this time. I think the toss will be crucial, so we'll be bound to lose it.

The temperature on the first 2 days will be close to 40 degrees. Winning the toss will be massive as 2 days in the field in that heat will probably crush the England team

I reckon I'll be in bed having given up already by about 01:30 if England are batting.

2hrs should be enough for the Aussies to work through them based on recent evidence.

CBA watching this wasted too much emotional energy on this lot

 

[ToffeeTim]

You need to bat time in this match with the heat. 60 or 70 overs is not going to work. Can't be bowling twice quickly in 38 degree heat.

For me it's a win win situation.

We lose and it's goodbye to that utter flute McCullum.

We win!! coming back from 2 down to take the Ashes is on.

 

[Wizard]

Apparently Steve Smith might be out with illness and Khawaja coming in

 

[ToffeeTim]

Might be a very bad toss to lose

Need to bowl very well and be patient. No short ball rubbish.
