The Ashes 2021 / 22 (in Aust)

[globaleagle]

I wonder if we're waiting for Khawaja to get 100 before the big ole declaration?

 

[globaleagle]

back to back centuries for Uzzie!

That is an amazing effort, joins Walters and ponting for back to back in tests at the sgc.

2 years out of the team and then 2 centuries. Great effort.

 

[globaleagle]

So I guess we get to see 10 overs + 1 day of eng blocking

 

[globaleagle]

Seems Aust forgot to turn up for the Hobart test. 3-12.

I didn't think it was a good idea to have usman open.

Bad drop of Marnus when he was on 0. Great start to the test overall though!

 

[globaleagle]

Not a bad fight back

8-268.

Seems silly watching the lower order batsmen fall for the ole bouncer - hookshot-caught trap

Lyon hits a second six!

...

2 -6's in a row!!!!

 

[globaleagle]

wow

300 is up! From 3-12

 

[ManEagle]

And 303 is it

Let's see if the poms batters let the bowlers down once more.....

Freaking hope so

 

[globaleagle]

I wonder if Aust should copy eng and asked for the ball to be checked every 5 overs.

 

[ManEagle]

And so it shall be

Steve Smith needs to dig in for day 3. Suns out, Mr Cricket likes the pitch. Looking forward to seeing the Aussie bowlers destroy the pommie batting with the pink ball tonight if they get the chance.

 

[globaleagle]

Wood has given so many bouncers to Boland, I hope every aussie pace bowler rips his head off when he bats.

**** me. I just tuned in to see an aussie wicket

 

[globaleagle]

Is this good bowling or crap impatient batting?

 

[globaleagle]

Eng. We're going to set a field that screams short pitched bowling to trap you guys into dumb ass shots

aust: Oh yeah? ~aust proceed to fall for the trap~

fmd

 

[wombatgc]

Wow.Let off there for Carey. The barest of no balls.

 

[globaleagle]

212 lead and some clouds.

Hopefully not clouds from that volcano - how amazing was that??

 

[wombatgc]

Mark Wood must have sore shoulders. Not just from his great bowling, but having to carry his useless batters.
250+ at the break. If Carey can keep his luck going and come out after the break and go into one day mode, and pick up another 30 runs, it’ll make for some good night cricket. Did I hear Warnie right, the council is allowing the lights to stay on till 11.30 pm. Imagine having to face the Aussie pace attack at 11 at night, with a pink ball darting all over the place.

You might’ve made a good choice there GE. 0/68. Not going the way I thought it would. Maybe it’s got something to do with Rory going 80’s heavy metal drummer look? Still plenty of time. But a wicket wouldn’t go astray right now.

 

[ManEagle]

Good on young Green delivered when needed 3 quick wickets.
They were bloody good balls too
