The Ashes 2021/2022

You must still be suffering from dreams after your hospital visit, Mike. Another innings defeat in the offing.

[Gary]

England need 445 more to win 9 wickets left and one day and one session.

[tm74sqn]

Sounds easily possible . . . . !
PS. Requested Father Christmas and his little helpers last night, so awaiting results . . . .

[slogen51]

England all out for 192 , Australia win the second test to go 2-0 up in the series

Can still win the series 2-3 !

[Gary]

Buttler treading on his on Stumps was the icing on the cake.

How does the football chant go, three two we're going to win three two

Roll on the Boxing day test

[plmc135]

Announced that David "Bumble" Lloyd is leaving Sky TV. Has he been called up to open in the 3rd Test?

Buttler treading on his on Stumps was the icing on the cake.

How does the football chant go, three two we're going to win three two

Roll on the Boxing day test

The other chant is " we are **** and we know we are" repeat ad infinitum

I think it comes from the Chelsea fanzine!

[plmc135]

Think you need to replace the "we" with "you" for the chant.

[slogen51]

Somehow I don't think calling the Aussies **** is all that convincing when you are 0-2 down!

[Gary]

[Gary]

4 for 1 Haseeb Hameed gone for 0

[Gary]

12 for 2, Crawley gone for 12. Too drunk to watch this annihilate.

[plmc135]

Oh dear yet another abysmal performance. And Joe Root thinks he will score a century in the series, maybe if you add several innings together. The team is a national embarrassment

[Gary]

Solid start by England, Australia 84 for 3. The danger man Labuschagne gone for 1. Small glimmer of hope for England

[slogen51]

England 31-4 at the close

51 behind with 6 wickets remaining

Root and Stokes at the crease so a faint glimmer of hope

[plmc135]

Don't think there will be a need to set an alarm clock for play on Wed/Thu

[slogen51]

So far I think I have only heard one session so I am determined to set the alarm for 4am tomorrow morning , hopefully Root will still be batting with a ton in the book or will it be Leach and Anderson hanging on for dear life!

[Mike]

Leach is already out, he was sent on as the nightwatchman!
