Ashes-2023 England VS Australia 16 June-31 July

You gotta be ticked off if you're an Aussie fan as that new ball was definitely not similar to the one it replaced.

I think India had the ball changed about ten times in 90 overs against the West Indies last week.

It's funny how the much newer ball is swinging more. Totally unexpected plot twist!

Some great bowling with a 50 over old ball this morning. Amazing movement...

England's best chance of winning this is if Woakes can bowl all day from both ends.

Or keep getting new balls... as they dont have balls to play without rain or balls?

Bairstow et al already dropped them weeks ago.

How the f**k is it possible that despite having a whole ass rules committee based in a stupid club in London there’s always a stupid rule on the books that inevitably results in controversy

Is there anything controversial about this one? He wasn't in control of the catch at all, this seemed far more concrete than the Starc one.

Some say the ball was possessed by the Spirit of Cricket

It wasn't out. It was great 'catch' but you could tell from Stokes reaction he immediately thinks 'I've messed this up' when he tried to celebrate whilst still off his feet and smacked it into his knee.

If he'd just landed, then thrown it up.

Once the fielder catches it with his hands, it should be the end of it.

I took a catch in the deep in a club game and accidentally let go on the backswing of my celebratory toss up, chucked the ball miles away behind me instead of stright up.

I styled it out by carrying on running towards the wickets and high fiving people.
