O/T:- The Ashes 2023

[SwalePie]

Is this the breakthrough or a false dawn? 190-4. Head and Green in to bat.

[SwalePie]

Now Head gone for 7. 197-5

Is it just me that is getting really pee'd off with the women's series between England and Australia's women being labelled as an 'Ashes' series, as far as I recall, I don't remember any bails being burnt at the death of English women's cricket.

Think it's just you, mate. I spose they could burn a load of eye liner and call it "The Lashes"? In all fairness, I watched the 1st Ladies test and it was very entertaining.

Lol Gump, I have nothing against women's cricket and find it very watchable, but do get tired of women's sport piggy backing the mens game to grow, more so in football to be fair.

I'm just so pleased BazBall has made cricket so exciting.

Has it not?

Arrogance and stupidity pretty much sums it up.

I actually believe England could have won these ashes 5-0 barring weather. We could still turn around a 2-0.

But not if we continue with this pig headed stupidity. Winning is adapting. The Aussies are, we are not.

Madness is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

5-0 really? Now that sounds like arrogance and a little stupidity to me.

Can’t see England winning this. Australia better in every aspect.

Can’t see England winning this. Australia better in every aspect.

55-4, 3 of the wickets were really good deliveries though. The only thing I can see England getting out of this match is a round of boos when they leave the field.
