The Ashes Thread.

[Saint Willy]

The $67 question is,will any of the Poms make it to double figures.
Warner has made up for his duck by some great catches.
21-2

He certainly has been solid in the slips. However, he is supposed to be a batsmen....

[Saint Willy]

Phaaark. My stream has just switched over to the India v WI game... I dont freaking want to watch that.

Anyone got an ashes link?

[Saint Willy]

Cheers. Crictime has come good enough, but nice to have a backup.

At last some Test Cricket batting - boring as fark

[harrybarracuda]

If they score 20 in the morning session for no loss, I'd be happy.

Won't happen though.

England needs 203 runs to win with seven wickets in hand

Suddenly the once-unthinkable no longer seems so impossible.

England has dug in and fought might impressively here, giving itself a chance to pull off something remarkable on day four.

Joe Root has been leading the charge, defying his apparent lack of form to move within touching distance of a potentially famous century.
Alongside Ben Stokes, it feels like the pivotal partnership is in action right here and now.

That means the first hour or so tomorrow is going to be just massive.
There is nothing but history - and maybe the excellence of Josh Hazlewood - to suggest England can't pull this off, but there is still so much cricket to be played.

All things are possible

[Jordon]

Poms will fall 50 to 80 runs short. One more wicket and into the tail.

[Headworx]

All things are possible

Absolutely. I think England fans should start preparing their celebrations of winning this Test right now.

Keeps it interesting, well done Root, fighting for his life and the Ashes!

You still have to at least win 1 more and draw the last, provided you win this one. But I love your optimism

[Headworx]

^You've missed the subtle barb in this, and would need to go back to the last WC soccer thread when some posters from a certain country currently caught up in Brexit thought they were a big chance of winning it. #itscominghome was their catch cry, for a while anyway .

Talk about an emotional roller-coaster, it went something like this:

I was kinda wondering about that, but wasnt sure.

nice one!

I presume anal is a metaphor for Australia?

&, football is never coming home - I hate that song and those two wank 'comedians', can't stand either of them.

The cricket has been dire from our end. This match is perfectly winnable, but as other folks have mentioned, we'll lose an early wicket or two and the match will probably be over before lunch.

Hahahaha. . . the well-known death-spiral advent to an English defeat

Betts, you are an irrepressible optimist. I imagine you are never disappointed.

[harrybarracuda]

What time does play start? I might have to reschedule a meeting or two...

[Saint Willy]

5.00pm BKk time.

Thanks

Like the way you skipped this one



Proper cricket

[Saint Willy]

Proper?

Proper rubbish is what it is.

[Headworx]

This match is perfectly winnable..

Well sure it is. England have never chased down a 2nd Innings score that big before, but let's keep a stiff upper lip and not upset Matron

Proper cricket

It was "a shit game" till a Coalition finally stumbled over the line to break their cherry. Only another 5 to go and there'll be bragging rights available but until such time, git back under the house

[harrybarracuda]

7 overs to a new ball. Testing times indeed.
