The Ashes 2023

[vvvslaxman]

some serious axe cutting by Bairstow.

[vvvslaxman]

Magnificent six lol Entertaining innings by Bairstow

[vvvslaxman]

This is absolute carnage. Treating them like associate sides.

[cricspirit]

Got to give it to England. Playing their way despite losing the first two games. Whatever the score line reads after the series, ENG have done well.

 

They will most likely win this Test.

Inflicting psychological scars. Australia is done for the series i must say. Smith as produce one of those vintage innings for Australia to get away

 

The amount short balls bowled is stupidly high, if they cannot swing the ball in the air like Broad/Woakes they should have stuck to their original bowling style - good length in the corridor outside off-stump, yes runs may come with bazball but that also increases the chances of edge/caught behind.

 

Bas bouncer per bouncer daal rahe hain, including Scott Boland and Hazlewood, totally lost it mentally.

Cummins is cooked. Give the captaincy to someone else.

You need a leg spinner against Bazball. 

[vvvslaxman]

This is freaking one-dimensional stuff.  Starc provided some variations mixing yorkers and short stuff. But as usual in between bowled some crap deliveries

[vvvslaxman]

Close to 200 runs in 1.5 sessions

You think good legspinners can produced just like that? It would help if teams have four  Marshalls and Garners too to counteract Bazball.

Even without a leg-spinner some disciplined line and length bowling in the corridor works. Runs will come quick but wickets will fall rapidly too which may make the batting side cautious.

Eng wants to bat only once

That is your best option regardless. On flat decks they can literally thrash any type of bowler. You get only wickets by fluke.

No it won't work, what England has done to attack like Australia has not be done  by any team.  Ponting whose teams scored  faster than many teams in history is also amazed by this batting.

Never seen Cummins treated like this in any test 23 overs 125 runs plus 8 byes that should have been against him

But you cannot produce those options from thin air.
