Northern Red Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 I'm not surprised they've gone without a spinner, I am surprised they've picked Tongue over Woakes or Wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d agree with that. Stokes always says he likes to have a front line spinner so when they called up another one I assumed one would be picked. Not surprised there is no Woakes despite his Lords record. Tongue did look good against Ireland and guess he’s impressed in training. Looks a long tail!

Kid in the Riot Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Can see us bring soundly beaten unfortunately, as I see Australia improving. What a ridiculous time for the independent commission report to drop too. The eve before an Ashes Test, Stokes has to go in front of the media and apologise for the state of English cricket?? Bonkers. That's not going to help is it. Fair play to Lyon, 100 consecutive tests is an amazing achievement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Won’t look like that tomorrow I doubt. Stokes didn’t want the ball moving around but even if that gets a cut in the morning I’m sure it will move. Weird to change tactics after one test Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to win it. Draw and Australia would only need to win one of the remaining three tests to retain the Ashes.

And Its Smith Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 Robinson looks pathetic here Robison swept through square leg for four. Must be really wound up as next ball he manages to clock at 79mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
