2023 Ashes Series

[Meclazine for Israel]

Lucky to get Ben Stokes out for 155.

If we did not get him out, we would have lost the match, no question.

Australia look set to win. The English players and fans got quite hostile which is rare at Lords, the home of cricket.

Australia win.

Controversy as Johnny Bairstow is stumped sparking a furore in the Long Room with the MCC members.

The Stumping

The English fans were furious with this dismissal. And the Lord's in the Long Room of the MCC were not having it. They gave Australia a serve as they walked to their dressing rooms at the lunch break.

There is a Twitter video in that link of the Lord's members arguing with the Australian players.

What's the deal with the Long Room? Why is it so special?

The 2nd test ended with England having a sook. Luke only the English can.

Mescaline, what is the kind of demographic in Australia that plays and likes cricket Vs say Rugby Union? Both are pretty posh I imagine but is there regional variation?

What's the deal with the Long Room? Why is it so special?

It’s on the ground floor of the Pavilion and the players have to walk through it to go onto and leave the pitch - hence the altercation on Sunday (members of the MCC are also allowed to access the room).

Brendan McCullum doesn't have a leg to stand on

[Meclazine for Israel]

Yes.

Leeds is going to be very tense. Even the Australian commentators have slayed the English commentators 🤣, Kevin Pietersen in particular.

3rd Test - Leeds

Carlton United Breweries have come on board as a sponsor of the series.



That first delivery tonight is going to crack the ice on a very tense situation between the two teams.

[Meclazine for Israel]

Alright. Here we go.

I don't think Australian's could do another late night 5 day "comes down to the last session" test result three games in a row.

Some of the people calling me at 2am in the morning on Day 5 are having nervous breakdowns about the potential outcome of these tests. I have asked them to have plenty of Tremodol on hand for Day 5 of this test.

I would actually prefer just to thrash the English by Day 4 like we normally do in Australia. But the English team in England just find a way.

You have to give the English captain credit. Ben Stokes lays claim to the greatest ever comeback in Ashes history. We ran out of reviews and the last over had a wicket given not out by the umpire. But take nothing away from Ben Stokes.

If we lose this test match, it will be because of Marnus and Steve hitting stupid catches off Ali.

That was ridiculous. And Warner needs to be dropped. Just bring in a young guy to replace him.

As someone who's been trying to learn more about cricket lately, I've enjoyed Jomboy's recent videos on it. His latest addressed the controversy. I of course am not yet qualified to have an opinion, but I suspect I would oppose any "unwritten rule" like I do in baseball.

[Meclazine for Israel]

England too good and win inside 4 days.

This series just tightened up.

AUSTRALIA 2
ENGLAND 1

Two tests remaining. England have to win both to retain The Ashes.
