    [Cricket] The Ashes- England v Australia- 1st Test, Birmingham, June 16 - 20, 2023

    It's gutting to lose like this and not good now for the rest of the series. In order to reclaim the Ashes we now need to win 2 of the next 4 Tests and close out the other two for draws.. going to be hard as Anderson and Broad are starting to lose their edge, Stokes can't bowl much and our main...

    [Cricket] The Ashes- England v Australia- 1st Test, Birmingham, June 16 - 20, 2023

    Many of us have a " Scooby Doo " because we watch, listen observe and yes, an over or two can completely change the outlook but then the next 10 overs can change it again. But there is a sense of " Mood Music " from the batting side or the fielding side that resonates within those that...

    Yes, not in the Spirit of The Game....there is only one Aussie commentator, Jim Maxwell...who is extremely annoying..it seems worse because of Gillespie as summariser.

    I think that the huge significance of Ashes cricket played a part in the umpires non-decision.. going to be huge pressure to try to get play for the broadcasters and the sell out crowd and so they put off the inevitable abandonment well past the time when they should have just said " thats it...

    I reckon this is called for the day....Could be a tricky first hours play which may decide where this Test is going.

    It was coming. Bit of moisture about and the Convicts had some time to rest and rethink... this has tipped their way now. best thing that can happen now is for us to lose the rest of todays play to rain and give England time to rethink and eat up match time and start to rebuild in the morning.

    Well, this could be interesting on resumption. Will the ball do anything after the rain I wonder ? ...still reckon a draw is more likely.

    We didn't get the two wickets so the pendulum swings South...yes, Smith could utterly destroy us on this strip.

    It's a reasonable gamble, they would only have managed maybe another 20-30 runs if they batted on til all wickets were down.. two wickets tonight would be worth considerably more as the convicts are a tad light in batting depth.

    He has saved Sussex quite a few times with the bat.

    Great to have Moeen back, sad for Leach but great to have such explosive scoring potential in the late order. Edit: Sorry, that's mine.
