The Cricket Thread

So many questions...

Does Bazball work against a good bowling attack?
Will Moeen influence the series or just give the quicks a rest? How hard will the Aussies go at him?
Can our bowling line up take 20 wickets with very little pace on what looks like an absolute road?

So excited. Let's fucking go!

Attack, attack, attack!
500 on day one or 65 ao!

 

[aussiespursguy]

Good toss to win for you.
Cant help but think that may be the way of the series.
Will be a shit deck by our second dig.
Need to bowl well first.

 

[LeSoupeKitchen]

Who would be an opener. F*** that.

 

[Yiddo100]

2 awful shots

 

[UncleBuck]

Grrrr, nothing shot….

Good to see the Aussies starting so positively

Surprised they didn’t start by sticking 8 or 9 on the fence ffs

Captains play a massive massive part in cricket and clearly Cummins is no Taylor or Waugh. Can his team make up for his lack of ability as a skipper?

 

[LeSoupeKitchen]

Lyon will be on soon IMO

What’s the noise back home on Cummins as a skipper?

Doesn't Smith captain when Cummins is bowling?

 

[thebenjamin]

When did Conte take over Australia?

Disastrous recipe if true. Sounds good for England though…

 

[jazz15c]

In the first hour of an Ashes test series, the Aussies have a sweeper on the Deep Cover boundary...! Never thought I'd see the day.

It looks like Smith is doing a lot of the captaining…

 

[midoshairband]

this is great stuff. yes we'll come unstuck at some point, but at least they're sticking true to their word.

 

[Timbo Tottenham]

Mis-field and the trumpeter plays circus music

 

[southlondonyiddo]

Brilliant first hour of this series for England

Dreadful from the Aussies & their skipper(s)!!!

 

[Dunc2610]

I was just thinking that the ashes should be played on 5 randomly chosen village cricket wickets!

 

[jurgen11]

(not) wonderful opening session from England

 

[PCozzie]

Gah, thought that pitched outside leg. Soft wicket.
