Ashes 2023

[stan]

Christ big Johnny is lucky, that would have hurt England plenty.

[tigerpie]

On this pitch, and with Ali with a blister England will need to set Australia at least 350.
This session is going to be a cracker.

[Lightning McQueen]

Lol, that was out when Smith was batting

The editor just needed that extra time to manipulate the ball path

I’ve always thought that, the home side generally get the run of the grain with ball tracking.

Having said that, as plumb as it looked live it doesn’t pick up how far out the crease he is.

[Lightning McQueen]

Lol, that was out when Smith was batting

I wanna see the second one, that had to be closer.

I thought the same, still high though IMO.

[Lightning McQueen]

They’ll try getting 170 this session to set us around the 320-330 mark

Yes, looked high but I thought Smith’s was too

Forecast tomorrow doesn't look good unfortunately. Wonder if stokes will declare earlier due to that.

[tigerpie]

The goat strikes.
Game on!

[Jim05]

Knock this clowns head off and then knock them over quickly

[DOC]

Marnus like Smith need zero input into reviews.

[Dutchy]

thats just bloody Marnus "I heard something"

[DOC]

Only 3 scores over 200 have been chased here.

BUT

This pitch is so much drier and flatter than any other wicket here. Gives us a bit more of a chance.


Still need 3 wickets. Both these 2 can score quickly. Broad as well. Anderson is a genuine ferret.

[DOC]

Ali gone.

Hazelwood bowling short and at them.

[DOC]

Smith drops Broad (difficult) second ball.

[DOC]

Lyon gets Robinson.
263 ahead.

Evenly poised.

[DOC]

Anderson reverse sweep for four first ball.

[Senor Moto Gadili]

281 to win ..... England maybe slight favourites. Need to get off to a good start.

[DOC]

Cummins gets Anderson (great catch by Carey and an impressive display behind the stumps.).

281 for Victory,

Chased 282 in 2005 and we were 2 runs short.

In our favour is Ali possibly not able to bowl at his best, Bairstow behind the stumps, Fourth day pitch (3 and a bit really) instead of fifth day pitch.

Just go the tonk Warner.

[Senor Moto Gadili]

How did Steven O'Keefe get the gig on Ch9? Just let Finch do it.

[DOC]

Weather every chance to play a big part here tomorrow.
