The Ashes 2023

[vvvslaxman]

England is hoping Australia would give their wicket away to some filthy delivery. So it doesn't seem to be happening.

[vvvslaxman]

Wood on. Final throw of dice

[vvvslaxman]

Australia 100 for no loss.

[vvvslaxman]

Wood finds an edge. Ball just died. It is surprising that Khawaj with no real footwork survives and scores runs.  He just hangs back and dangles the bat.

I remember we were 330/5 chasing 470 or something at the Oval in 2018. Pant and Rahul both were going well until Rashid bowled an absolute beauty to KL.

 

Think we are in for a fitting ending to this series.

At the oval if you don't have quality spinners chasing slightly bigger total is on. Most famous one was Sunil Gavaskar's 221 chasing 438 India ended up with 429/8

[vvvslaxman]

Warner scored a chanceless 50. That is an indication how under-staffed English attack is.

[Tarak9]

Crawley 480>> 586 ball

Khawaja 486*>1287 ball

[vvvslaxman]

Taylor and PUnter taking a dig at why they put them together in the commentary box

[vvvslaxman]

Three fours against Root.

[vvvslaxman]

Khawaja got hit by Wood.

[vvvslaxman]

ouch. That his flush on the back of the helmet. Any lower could have been bad

[vvvslaxman]

DK is trolling Punter and Taylor for Punter's run out in an Ashes Test.  Punter responds "You have retained your contract" :)

[cowboysfan]

This might be one of the best test series in recent times.every game has been awesome and competitive which doesnt happen.

[vvvslaxman]

Bairstow the bazball specialist who started this bazball thing with bat is majorly responsible for Series defeat with his substandard keeping. Going back Smith's missed run out opportunity seems very crucial now.

[putrevus]

Warner has 25 100 run partnerships (most by any opener) which is awesome stat shows how important he has been for Australia.

Aussies get denied a ball change but Poms get one anyway. Poms are bigger cheats.

[cowboysfan]

weather looks terrible,i think this mach might end up in another draw.

[vvvslaxman]

Wood's very delayed introduction is always a point of contention in the commentary box. 

[vvvslaxman]

Do the commies really suggest Anderson deliberately bowled that beamer based on the fact he never bowled a bouncer, conditions were not wet, he was not trying to bowl slower one?
