Ashes-2023 England VS Australia 16 June-31 July

He’d have been another failed “next Botham” despite being a better bowler and batter than anyone else that they’d reasonably have at 8 otherwise

Trying to figure out how he gets into the 1994 Warwickshire side. Maybe in place of Paul Smith.

England would probably have picked Ian Austin or Vince Wells ahead of him.

 

[T.J.Hooker II]

Key Ashes period now, probably. 300 would be 50 short at least but 400+ might be formidable when England must win in a potentially shortened game.

 

[T.J.Hooker II]

England would probably have picked Ian Austin or Vince Wells ahead of him.

Ronnie Irani.

Although I don't want to talk any smack about Ronnie Irani. He was stuck at Lancs, not even getting in the first team a lot of the time. He ended up an Essex legend with terrific FC numbers. He made a lot out of his wobbly medium pace.

Wood - 8 wickets (5 tailenders)

Woakes - 10 wickets (0 tailenders)

Put some respect on Woakes name, you stupid idiots!

 

[Bevab]

How on earth did they not pick this bloke in the second test? He’s been a revelation since coming in.

 

[asprin]

Safe to assume Mo Ali has done his job at #3? Anything that comes now would be a bonus.

 

[T.J.Hooker II]

Starc's ball to Duckett looks like it did a lot from that last replay. Need good eyes to nick those.

 

[wasteyouryouth]

Moeen looks better than Pope

 

[T.J.Hooker II]

Well he's a very sweet ball striker. Lovely timing. And he's a leftie so he gets the angle across. More balls to hit, more balls to nick.

 

[T.J.Hooker II]

I was going to say "don't fall for the sucker punch and try and pull your first ball with three guys out".

 

[T.J.Hooker II]

Consolidate after a wicket? Perish the thought.

Crawley nearly into bonus mode. 80 odd not out.

 

[T.J.Hooker II]

I don't see why Aussie wouldn't persist with the short ploy if they've going to play the shot really, as long as the bowlers have the energy. There's a lot of pull shots required to get England level and they're not all going to miss fielders.

Zak Crawley loves playing teams in green (Pakistan, Australia and South Africa)

 

[T.J.Hooker II]

This is what Crawley's in the side for. If he hangs around for another hour things could get interesting.

 

[wasteyouryouth]

Australia have been appalling. Fair play to Greg the Egg.
