Yep, we'd have had maybe an hour's play today if lucky, and certainly nothing from lunchtime onwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 Well done England, won the T20 series, won the ODI series but somehow haven't won the Ashes. Great effort anyway 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do wonder if Aus were not as fussed today but honestly that one over a few days ago gone different they could have been bringing them home. Therefore I propose that we bulldoze the Rose Bowl because nothing good has ever come from that soulless, traffic chaotic shithole of a ground. They were playing for ODI World Cup Qualifying points, it certainly mattered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussies lost their 10 year record of not losing an ODI series, would be surprised if they weren't motivated to keep that going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Hankey Posted July 19, 2023 Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 So the Aussies are going to go with Travis Head as their main spinner, maybe with Marnus pitching in as well? Seems a bit odd that……not sure why Cameron Green has been chucked straight back in, he hasn’t looked very good to me this series, but we’ll take it!

That said, Stokes is talking about going harder and faster with the weekend weather in mind and that could play into their hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
