O/T:- The Ashes 2023

Dark and cloudy, nigh on unfit to play, kept on the field lost 2 wickets. We've not had a lot of luck this test.

Been out all day and just watching the highlights. Just seen Robinson bowl Kawaja. I’ve never seen a field like that in years of watching cricket. 4 close on the on and 3 on the off. Unbelievable! The play books are all being ripped up. Right - pressing play again to see how we got the next 4 out.

A truly remarkable field, and must have been playing on Kawajas mind, and seemed to draw a false shot from him. England were very unlucky with the weather, losing those two quick wickets, in very difficult batting conditions, lets hope that is not the difference between winning and losing.

I feel the game has been affected by the umpires getting two wickets before the game was halted by the weather ten minutes after it should have been.

If England were bowling, we'd probably have said the umpires were right to keep them out playing...

True. We'd have taken it, had it fallen in our favour, but it didn't. That's the way it goes.............

Meh, 100 runs short, Engerland twere. Bat on in the 1st inning instead of a declaration and bat a bit better in the 2nd and you've got em. With the time that would have taken out of the game it would have meant Aussie needing 350+ on the last day and given us a real good chance at victory. Watching Jodi playing for Malta at the mo, Optus Sports 3 for all you firestick freaks.

Win or lose its just a great watch, a great listen, great to get updates on. Far too entertaining for test cricket. If these 4 days are a sample and indicative of what's to come over the whole series we are in for another cracker in this country.

Dry day with plenty of cloud cover could help us no end tomoz. Bout time we had a bit of luck in this test.

Very entertaining from England.
I'd rather be Australia - predictable & winning.
