Ashes 2023

We are discussing this over on the parallel Cricket thread...

 

Maybe we need to merge these two threads ?

 

What, and lose the discussion of county cricket?

 

I don't see an issue with putting everything in one thread but otherwise maybe 2 threads, one for county and one for international ?
Makes no sense to have an Ashes thread and then be posting Ashes stuff on a general cricket thread.....

 

Cricket should be the main thread and Ashes a sub-thread, so to speak.

 

Ok but we will still get the ashes stuff sprinkled between "the main thread" and the "sub thread"....

 

What about the women’s Ashes? Should that be under Ashes, general cricket, or do we need a Washes thread?

 

Tittle-tattle. It's not proper sport.

<ducks for cover>

 

Clearly all future Ashes 2023 posts should be in the….thread bearing that title (note to self……)

 

What era you in ? The same as WG Grace ?

 

Grace ? Was she a cricketer too ?

 

2 good cricket puns in there. Well done.

 

All seam attack (plus Root) with Tongue coming in for Moeen.

Presumably Wood is not fit.

 

Wood is never fit. Which is a shame.

 

The weather looks a bit more "English" over the next few days. Hopefully it's not so English that we lose a lot of time !

 

Let's have them 3 down by lunch.

 

Not really. And they flopped completely. Seem to be getting more inept with every time they do it.

 

Not sure what you mean. I have just stopped using oil.

 

In fairness I also stopped for the duration of the protest.

 

Is it too late to change our minds and bat ?

 

Boring, boring Bazball...

 

Catches win matches and our fielders couldn't catch a cold!

 

Agreed.
56-0 off 19.3 overs.
At least when we bat and are 106-5 off 19.3 we know we can count it as a moral victory.

 

Both!

 

Smith & Labuschagne both overturn out decisions via DRS…looking very ominous as they’re scoring at over 4s without any silly shots.

 

And now we lose a review by reviewing a not out when DRS shows inside edge onto pad, although that wasn’t obvious in real time.

 

100 partnership now. We are being schooled by the Aussies after putting them in.
