The Ashes 2023

What is  Green thinking. He is playing a bizarre knock.

[vvvslaxman]

This is Anti bazball snooze fest. I would rather prefer England approach. Intolerably boring approach from Australia.

Khawaja looks good for 200

Bumrah was more entertaining against Broad than these guys. He scored 29 runs in one over

this lot of ozzies are scared of Pommies, their overlords, and Bazball

[vvvslaxman]

Every run Green scores will be a thron in the flesh for Bairstow.

They are very far from safe. India took a lead and still lost

But the difference is : we lost the match.   Aus won't be losing this it seems.  Draw is the likely outcome here.

Engalnd will go after win for sure. 4th innings pitch might help spinners more. And also they have better strategies against each batsmen.

Aus 188/4 so like 2 sessions behind Eng with just a handful of good batsmen in the hut. A lot depends on Khwaja. 
 

Eng a couple of quick wickets away from getting a hold on the game.

no, it will be an Eng victory. Aus will fold for about 330. Eng will Bazball their way to 340 or so, give a target of 400, and Oz will make 340-350

Australia is timid looking. So far on evidence they play not to lose rather than win. How times have changed

they have over-the-hill players like warner, grinders & tuk-tukers like smith and labu and khawaja; only travball can play counterattacking knocks

[vvvslaxman]

Nobody backs spinners better than Stokes. Nasser is spot on.

Those tuk tukers are still better than our maharsthis who are older and more finished.yet still drag on and play.
