Re: Official Ashes Thread

He played and missed a few times there, but definitely middled some aswell.

I thought Sam Curran could have played the conditions better rather that backing away.

Pope out of series. They should bring in Foakes but more likely Dan Lawrence will play.

I like your way of thinking regarding Foakes.

Brave of Pope as well

Re: Official Ashes Thread

Can't see them bringing in Foakes as it won't do Bairstows confidence any good. They'll probably play Dan Lawrence but I wonder if Joe Root might move back up to 3, even though it's not his preferred position.

Brook will bat 3. Mo, Wood and Woakes in for Jimmy and Tongue.

Big, big call

Re: Official Ashes Thread

I’d have kept Tongue and binned motormouth Robinson

Looking at the forecast, I like the look of the draw at 7/2

Re: Official Ashes Thread

They had to bring Foakes in. He's the best keeper we have by a country mile and I reckon his batting is up there with most of our batsmen.

The reason I posted the above was I was really looking to get behind England in this test.
Then in the space of 3 minutes my mood completely changed.

Edit: Eng win toss, Aus currently 6 for 1, Broad gets Warner.

Ridiculous- she died about 10 months ago.

Mark Wood’s first over was the fastest at Headingley since records began (fastest 96.5 mph)

Re: Official Ashes Thread

Bairstow is shocking behind the stumps!
Should be five down at lunch.

Wood is like lightening

Edit: he's just taken Smith caught behind
85-4

Re: Official Ashes Thread

Joe Root puts a simple slip catch down now!

Woeful Fielding!
