The Ashes 2021/2022

[slogen51]

Australia declared on 416 for 8. That is a big total from the overnight 126-3

It ain't going to be easy.

Could do with some more rain!

[plmc135]

How sad that we are hoping to rely on some rain to prevent us losing a Test Match. That would hardly be a way of regaining some pride!

[slogen51]

Actually I am just fooling around

Obviously I would much rather we won or batted a draw

Perhaps you have to hold your hand up to show you are joking?

Australia are better than us - that is sport.

[Gary]

Day 3 should be about to start, but yet another rain delay. Let's hope England don't make stupid mistakes early once they get going

[Gary]

Hameed gone for 6. England 22 for 1. Here we go again

[Gary]

England 36 for 3, Root gone for 0. Swinging wildly again

[Gary]

England all.out for 294, trailing by 122

[plmc135]

England 388 to win, 30-0 at close of play. More chance of seeing an Aurora at Boscombe Down than winning this

[slogen51]

Notwithstanding miracles a win is off the cards but can we force a draw? What's the weather forecast?!

[Gary]

England 74 for 2, England's inability to play spin, strikes again

[Gary]

181 for 4 into the last session. Let's hope there is no epic collapse

[slogen51]

Three overs to go with Broad and Leach at the wicket in fading light.

[slogen51]

Oops 9 down. Jimmy walking out to the crease with 12 balls left

Too dark for Australia to be able to bowl the quicks

Broad and Anderson at the wicket

C'mon Jimmy!

[slogen51]

One over left with Anderson facing Steve Smith

( In the last hour - Australia could have bowled more overs )

[slogen51]

England save the match and avoid the white wash

Easy!

[plmc135]

Think the Ashes scoreboard should be Australia 3.99 England 0.01

[Gary]

5th Test has just started, day/ night game. England won the toss and are bowling

[Gary]

England finally showing some spirit. Australia 7 for 2

[Gary]

Smith gone for 0, Aussies now 12 for 3

[iainpeden]

241-6.
