The Ashes.

[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.

[Come On You Irons]

To be honest a country with over 1.3 BILLION people, that is shite at ALL other global sports and that runs and controls world cricket is naturally going to dominate cricket.

Cricket is going to get extremely boring as India gets ever more powerful.

Also, mods can we we name this 'The Cricket Thread' please?

[Come On You Irons]

Fuck knows, but. I do know England ain't chasing this down.

Will probably lose by at least 50 runs.

[Massive Attack]

Could be a 230+ run chase here.

Start the car as Bumble used to say.

What's the highest ever run chase in this format at a World Cup?

[Westham67]

Not for the first time this regime have been call "Sloppy " this time Sir Alistair Cook

[Westham67]

he may or may not actually be gormless, but brook really does look like an archetypal thick yorkshire cսnt (apologies to joe root )

Ditto

Brook owes England a 45 ball century after that drop.

[Come On You Irons]

I just got back from an appointment. We're getting smashed here.

Will probably be a 220 run chase. I doubt they have in them to chase down such a target.

[Westham67]

Brook dropping a sitter

[Come On You Irons]

I actually forgot this was on today. Thanks for the reminder haha.

Buttler keeps his place, and we bowl first

Kiwis saving their choke for another day
Suspect tomorrows winner will take the title

[only1billybonds]

Blimey, once again the Saffa's choke when it matters. Fair play to New Zealand, attacked the target with real GUSTO and intent.

[Westham67]

I love it Sven LOL. . I hope England manage Butler and put him at 5 or 6 he's our white ball talismans and heads drop when he gets out and I feel sorry for him he seems like a sensitive Chappy

England have lost one game so far, to the West Indies.

I'm guessing they're not changing much at all.

That's been the problem all along under this regime they don't learn its too late, Playing Pope at three until we lost the Ashes and then dropped him

Brilliant from the Perth Scorchers Big Bash CHAMPION Finn Allen
Well done to the AUSTRALIA & new zealand bank sponsored team

[Westham67]

de Kock trying to take that catch over his shoulder was a reach literally  he should have left it to fine leg

[violator]

Saffas pulling their fingers out now

[Fauxstralian]

S Africa getting THEIR choke in early
Still time for NZ 

[Westham67]

What Sven said they have choked 

[Come On You Irons]

South Africa choking at the semi final stage as per usual.

Some absolute SORTS supporting SA. Presumably WAGs.

[Westham67]

12-2 that's a shocker
