You've come across these BBC votes before, right? :lolol: It's like people on here all voting for the Brighton candidate for goal of the month regardless of how good any of the others are.

It could be English exceptionalism. But I suspect it has just as much to do with the BBC opening the vote before today's play had even started. Which is a different level of stupid but I guess they think it helps engagement or whatever it's called. I don't doubt that an Australian or Indian...

If we win from here, Ecclestone will be confirmed in her position as my favourite person from Cheshire.

10 wickets for Ecclestone :clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2: :clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2:

Yeah this sort of thing is more what I was expecting. Goes with the vibe of having a McGrath and a Healy in the Australian team.

Well the bowling's not great. Not in a "they can't bowl as quickly as a man" way, just in the sense that there seem to be too many loose balls. The commentators yesterday were saying this is probably down to the bowlers playing far more one day cricket and not getting enough practice in bowling...

Well the players in that series felt the need to say they didn't want to call it the ashes or be compared the the men. Which suggests that's exactly what people were doing. It's also worth remembering that the first mens test matches weren't considered tests at the time, nobody involved in the...

It goes back the the 1930s. Is that long enough? :shrug:

Well things haven't been totally catastrophic with the bat. He says. Holding tightly onto his wooden desk.

Quality ball on a first day pitch to get rid of McGrath.

Both teams probably fairly happy, Australia to still be batting and over 300 while it could have been a lot worse given they were 200/2 at one point.

35/1 Cracking ball that. Albeit, terrible decision. Shame. :lolol:

It's actually quite relaxing to follow an ashes test where the aussies are the overwhelming favourites. I'm used to this feeling, I can deal with it.

First match in the series, toss in a few minutes. England highly likely to get hammered.
