Re: The *Official* 2023 Ashes Thread

Bazball with the bat, worked perfectly. Scored fast, scoreboard pressure was applied. The problem is, bazball is predicated on taking 20 wickets every game. If you can’t take wickets in this style you are guaranteed to lose. No easy fix either because our only real threat was broad. It was him or b...

Apparently it’s all just about ‘entertainment’. Does Mr laid back McCullum actually give a fudge? We’ll get steammrolled now. But hey, at least we’ll score quicker than the Aussies.

Prick Stokes just hands the game to Australia. Well done. Declaring at 393! The lack of pace in our bowling is worrying. Where was the Yorker towards the end?

Re: Telegraph: “England would be worst defending 6N champs”

All those players and resources, a coach with more time and access to his players than any previous England coach, and this is what they serve up. There’s no excuses. This bunch of over hyped losers need a rocket up the backside. I’d happily see Gatland take charge and tell a few home truths.
