Ashes-2023 England VS Australia 16 June-31 July

Going to Dawson feels a bit like them admitting they made a mistake.

It sucks if this is a factor they will consider. These types of things really shouldn't matter when it comes to selection, just select the team you think has the best chance of winning you the match.

I assume Jimmy will be out given how bland he has been today for Wood. Bigger question is who comes in for Mo if he can’t play? Going to Dawson feels a bit like them admitting they made a mistake.

I think they'd pick Jacks or Rehan before Dawson to be honest.

Moeen Ali injury is hurting Australia more than England :/

Just wait until they bring Brook on and he bowls five maidens in a row.

Can't work out if that was a slower ball or it slipped out his hand

Man’s fuelled by raw X-factor. THE big game player of this generation, only Smudge can have a claim to be anywhere near him.

Can’t compare lords to mere mortals, it’s why Jadeja wasn’t in contention either.

Big drop by Root, i feel Carey’s curse will hurt England.

 

[Bevab]

FFS Carey, did he realise I praised him and start playing like this again?

 

[wasteyouryouth]

Root's figures in the match so far: 18 - 5 - 31 - 0

Can't help but feel like if Australia lose it'll because of things like this. Australia's bowlers managed 8 maidens between them.

 

[CerealKiller]

Should have appealed for hit the ball twice

I don’t think they can chase it down anymore, I know people will commend his efforts but Khawaja maybe could have done slightly better in the last ten to twenty overs. Green was extremely culpable of gifting away his wicket too.

It’s almost like they’re playing whatever is the opposite of Bazball for some reason. Strike rotation was poor (a bit understandable given Khawaja’s fatigue) but they’ve made Root look like Ashwin when he’s been bowling one poor ball in nearly every over alongside a good one.
