The Ashes 2021/22

Can someone give me context for the same?

Ball went down to 3rd man and Gower said "The balls gone down...well I was going to say 3rd man but you can't say that anymore so fine 3rd". Classic Gower to say it anyway haha! But just shows the state of things.

If Khawaja gets dropped after this than CA better have riot police on standby!

Must be limited to BT Sports cause Howie just mentioned 3rd man on FOX

He's talking rubbish.

So who'll sit for Head then, you surely can't keep him out either. Usman to open with Warner?

Only until Pucovski comes back.

Holy shit can you not actually say 3rd man anymore?....this world is going insane.

No.

But then would it be 3rd person?

I'm not a feminist but the world is changing for the worst.

Boundary hugger?

Lovely batting from Khawaja

He has put the game beyond England, I forecast a collapse.

Yeah, this. Classic 70-year-old Tory behaviour to be all "They won't let me say <thing I've just said without consequence>"

It is generally better to shift out vocabulary to be a bit more gender-neutral (literally just "batter" and "deep third" - things 90% of club cricketers say anyway) but if someone describes batsman Zak Crawley as having edged one down to third man, nobody's going to give a shit

batsman Zak Crawley as having edged one down to third man

Obviously it's fine in terms of political correctness, but you do know that Zak Crawley edges go to third slip, not third man?

My bad, I was imagining English slip fielders

Uzzie is more determined this time. More fearless. I'm sure, he will do well in this aussie middle order.
