The Ashes 2023

[James Cutting]

All out for a dismal 237. At least the lead is a lot lower.

But Stokes and Robinson looking quite injured.

[slogen51]

Stokes Century in both innings fingers tightly crossed

Is does happen, Bairstow did it against India

[slogen51]

Oh!

[colp]

Oh!

[slogen51]

It's a one innings shoot out

C'mon England we must win this one

[slogen51]

Oh!

I used to be a big beefy fan - whenever I put the radio on he got out so will check back later!

[colp]

If they get a lead of over 300 we're done for! Let's hope it's more around 200 at the most!

[James Cutting]

Let's hope we remember to catch...

[slogen51]

Wood will be chomping at the bit

Scoreboard pressure might stifle Australia - one can hope

Great thing about live sport not a single person knows what will happen

[James Cutting]

Broad gets Warner - AGAIN!

[slogen51]

For the 16th time according to TMS

I would rather be England in this position

[colp]

I wouldn't, they could bat us out of it here.

[slogen51]

Australia 57-1

Wood back to try and make something happen

England should really be batting on this sunny afternoon

[colp]

If they had applied themselves better and played more to a test match way of thinking we may well have still been batting. To many one day dismissal type shots. But I get that's the way we've decided to play test cricket now.

[slogen51]

Labuschagne gave his wicket away carelessly again - best in the world?

Here is the genuine best in the world ( after Root?) :-

Smith next in 94:runs ahead

[colp]

Needed that one. Hopefully Smith will fail again!

[Gary]

Smith gone for 2 72 for 3

[slogen51]

It's only day 2

Definitely prefer England's position now !

[colp]

It's going to boil down to how we apply ourselves with the run chase. Still hoping it's less than 200!

[James Cutting]

You'd be gutted on day 5 tickets, maybe even day 4!
