Austin 3:!6 Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) This is the 1st non India series that I am eagerly waiting as not a big follower of cricket if India not playing. I think this Ashes has the potential to be the best since 2005 or best ever. Bazball vs WTC winners...will be great viewing My prediction - England will win 3-2 Edited June 15, 2023 by Austin 3:!6 zen 1 Link to comment
Stan AF Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I hope and pray to the cricketing gods for the folllowing. 1) For the sake of test cricket that Australia will win atleast 3 if not 4 test matches and regain their superiority over the POMS. 3-0 or 4-0 will be mighty pleasing. 2) Smith hitting atleast a 1000 runs and showing glimpses of Sir Don Bradman like he did in the last ashes. 3) Send a couple of inglis players into early retirement if not depression like how steve waugh's men used to routinely humiliate them in the 90s and early 2000s. 4) Ruin any chances of english prep running into the WC. 5) The term bazball dying after this series and mocked for future references.

goose Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I want bazball to win, but more than that I want records to be broken, the impossible to be made to look easy assuming Eng actually stick to it. It will force India to adopt the same style. Link to comment
Nikhil_cric Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Looks like the 4 seam attack will be Hazlewood/Boland/Cummins/Green. Bazball vs a strong seam attack backed by Khwaja, Marnus, Smith, Head. If Warner fires and Cummins is back to his best , Bazball will be seriously tested . Link to comment
Austin 3:!6 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Whats up with these CSK boys coming back to test cricket? First Rahane and now Moeen Ali. Credit goes to Thala Dhoni for re igniting the fire in them Link to comment

Had Hazelwood played instead of Starcy, we would have lost even poorly. Link to comment
Sandz Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Go Australia! Going to get bazballed Anybody got any cheap tickets Link to comment
Austin 3:!6 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 1st ball...smacked Bazball Link to comment
LordPrabhzy Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Great passion for Test cricket by England fans- they always pack their stadiums for home tests ( but not India ODIs) esp Ashes Link to comment
Nikola Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 (edited) Australian attack looks one dimensional on this pitch. Think England will score 450+ easily here in first innings. Edited June 16, 2023 by Nikola Link to comment
Austin 3:!6 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Flat pitch. Since England batting first, safe to say they can't loose from here. Either a Eng win or a draw. Link to comment
Sandeep99 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I've switched on the TV and waited for 15 min in anticipation for the first ball. I haven't watched a single ball of the farce that is WTC final. Good cricket attracts viewers. Link to comment

Smith is the key and will determine how Australia will go in this series. Link to comment

Sandeep99 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 India would have already gone into the shell and look like scared kittens even on this pitch. Link to comment
