The Ashes.

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 flashed up on the screen short while ago that at the same time we tracked 1 run less than India. We definitely have a chance if Bethell stays in.

We're not. Only 12 from that over so the required rate has gone up to over 13.50 from 9 overs.

We are matching them run for run. Every chance, especially if these 2 stay in.

Need Bethells Team mates to hang in there and let him do most of the work with the form he's currently in or we'll run out of wickets.

Well we are ahead of the rate after the first over at least!

In 50 years team the England, Australia and New Zealand teams will all be predominantly comprised of ethics Indians/ South Asians. That will be "fun". I'm sure white and black people will walk away from the sport and just leave it to the South Asians.

Chasing is the choice expecting the dew to arrive and the ball slides onto the bat 
Worked ok for NZ

Not impossible but Buttler needs to turn up along with Brook

Holy Cow!
Just heard from TMS that Harry Brook won the toss and put India in.
Chasing all the time is the bazball way I suppose.
