The Ashes 2021-22

[Neoprod]

Pink ball under lights...openers are going to be sweating.

 

[Dan C]

One gone already...

 

[WaxLyrical]

Can't wish the feeling of dropping this onto your worst enemy:

Undoes the blinder he took to get rid of Harris.

Aus clearly now under the skin of Eng .

Aus clearly now under the skin of Eng .

Yup, this series is over. Only question is whether it'll be a whitewash or not.

Wonder if it's the color of the ball or England's poor fielding ? Anyhow, I think England is out of this already. A first innings of 400 for Aus now.

They dropped in the first test as well. Their catching in test cricket has been an issue for a while. Not the pink ball.

Yup, this series is over. Only question is whether it'll be a whitewash or not.

Most likely - in 2021 they were thrashed by India and almost by Windies on home soil.

Without Root and Stokes their batting is pitiful, and with 2 ageing stars as their only bowling hopefuls, they staring at a whitewash.

They seriously lacking a quality opener like Cook, to set the tone.

 

[3WA]

Root and Malan gone so collapse incoming. 157/4, trail by 316.

Yip, 169/6...

 

[Dan C]

England batting again this evening ?

 

[Creag]

England batting again this evening ?

Just came post this. I suppose it comes down to the size of the deficit and what the pitch is doing. Likely to see the Aussues put runs on the board and give their bowlers a short break.

 

[Dan C]

Well there goes Stokes. Played one too many big shot.

 

[3WA]

People talking about follow-on. I reckon Australia will be lucky to break the Broad-Anderson partnership by dinner tomorrow.

 

[Dan C]

Aussies are going to bat again... Not going to be easy at the start.

 

[Agent_Smith]

Another feeble middle order display from England. Last 8 wickets for 86 runs.

 

[Dan C]

At this rate, Australia can declare by dinner tomorrow.

At this rate, Australia can declare by dinner tomorrow.

So woeful are the poms overnight is good enough, but I reckon they'll take a crack at the openers 10 overs before tea.

 

[Dan C]

Aussies declared.

Australia lead by 467 runs

44 overs left in the day

 

[Dan C]

so many drop catches ....
