The Ashes.

Post only1billybonds »

Just been announced that Josh Hazlewood will miss the first test due to start in Perth next Friday. This is a big blow to the Australians as they will already be without their captain and no.1 pace bowler Pat Cummins.

Englands preparations for the tour has been questioned by many as they have opted to play no warm up games aside from a one off against the English lions. 

Many are saying that its crucial that we get of to a good start in Perth which basically means we cant afford to lose seeing as the 2nd test in Brisbane is a day/night game ( fucking ridiculous) where the Aussies are strongly fancied.

Looking forward to this now but really unsure of how it will play out, I guess I'd still make them slight favourites due to home advantage. Going to be a few all nighters in the coming weeks for me, let's hope it'll be worth it.

It’s t20
No excuses for Australia 
Played poorly and deservedly lost & went out
Not quite like getting smashed by a half strength Ashes team though

That's a stretch of an excuse from the plastic Aussie cսnt for his beloved team losing to ZIMBABWE and bombing out in ROUND ONE.

Meanwhile England are on the verge of qualifying for the Semi Finals.

Dry your tears, Sheila.

T20 is a game of big scores & lots of runs
All tournaments should be in Australia, S Africa or England where they can prepare proper pitches not these shit pitches on ploughed fields

I was out this morning to had to endure listening to the end of the match on TMS in my high spec car. My god Alex Hartley is awful, so so irritating. Poshos Dan Norcross, that Henry toff and that British Asian bloke are all equally annoying too.

What a pathetic innings there from Buttler. I think he needs to be dropped after this. He's bang out of form.

I see the Super 8’s seeding nonsense has meant that every winner of each group is in one group of 4 and all the second place finishers are in the other
Each team plays the other 3 in their group and the top 2 in each go to the semi finals
ICC tieing themselves in knots to suit India

Oman captain pre match … ‘ This could be the best time to crush Australia ‘
The sporting press really should be protecting the Onanist captain from himself if English isn’t his first language
