1960maaan Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 The Ashes is great anyway, but it really helps filling the football gap during the summer. I have been watching some of the old tests on Sky, and loving it. 8 hours of Cricket followed by Malta V England . On painkillers (for a toothache ) that make you drowsy, just hope I can stay awake for it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 Stokes has massive strapping on that knee. Has been bowling in training though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has been bowling in training though After seeing him wince fielding against Ireland, I kind of thought he would only bowl when desperate. He has bowled when looking in agony before, but he has to be careful with 5 Tests in about 6 weeks. Hopefully we go well with the main bowlers, and Moheen proves a good replacement so we don't need Stokes in the first couple of Tests.

One of the reasons they chose Edgbaston as the first test, best chance to get off to a good start, certainly a lot better than Lords Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 So glad we are batting so I get to see Anderson bowl tomorrow. We will finish either 340/7 or be bowled out for 220 is my prediction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
