OT Ashes 2025-26

It’s alright though, mac. We’ll win the two Test series against NZ and Pakistan next summer, be top of Division 2 of Test playing countries and everyone will be happy.

Sums it up perfectly!

Mark Wood’s tour is over. Probably too late to make much difference to the tour, but hugely disappointing for him. A good man and, on his day, a very fine bowler. Must be heartbreaking to put in so much effort to recover full fitness only to breakdown yet again. Suspect this marks the end of his first class career. Very sad…wish him well.

Agreed

Sad news, fingers crossed he gets another chance to compete at the highest level.

Congrats to Archer on his test 50, are you watching Pope & Co?

Archer showed what even limited skill can achieve with some application, not sure the top batters have that, can we have a return to semi boring batting please? Chris Tavare where are you

Fancy us putting a parks team against professionals, only one outcome!
Another pathetic Ashes performance sees the Urn remain down under.
Forget the last two tests, save us further embarrassment and send the wimps home.... not that we really want them!

Chris Tavare? Same age as me. Test average marginally better than Crawley and much worse than Duckett, but I suppose, in his prime, he might have bored the Aussies to defeat, or at least have made the Ashes outcome last longer than eleven days.

Please stop mac, I’m trying to pretend it’s all just a bad dream. I’m sure heads will roll, the questions are…which ones?

Apparently, lots of eyes already are...
