I went to Day 2 btw, nice day's cricket it was too, Aussies didn't need to put any more foot on the throat so they contented themselves with maintaining a thoroughly winning position. There was a fantastic moment with Boland at the end being chucked about 30 garments to sign and getting through about, ooh, 12 of them?

on a flat pitch with a v uncertain spin bowling option and stokes carrying a niggle it seems foolhardy tbh, but i guess we will see today.

It's one thing to have a drama series on Shane Warne. It's totally another thing, when Ch9 is bringing a show on the feud between Ian Chappell and Ian Botham.In the preview, Ian Chappell called Botham a liar.#Ashes pic.twitter.com/MMQfxCO32j— Vijay A (@VAAChandran) June 19, 2023

Cricket lovely cricketIt's the game with stumps and bails and wicketsIn Birmingham on the fifth day the elementsThreaten to curtail the packed Ashes crowd's enjoymentEngland prospered with their aggressive approach called BazballBut sometimes they give away their wickets for practically nothing at all

... will be a headline in the Daily Star tomorrow.
great test match. be v interesting to see how england respond. they’ve had so many great results over the last 14 or so tests, because they’ve been able to put their foot down on the accelerator, to give themselves runs and time to beat teams in the second innings. stokes and others were v capable of building an innings but they were also capable of accruing runs incredibly quickly. they bat deep, are an experienced team, and they’ve got great, disciplined bowlers capable of taking wickets in all conditions. mccullum himself i believe has banned use of “bazball” in the dressing room. here they had several weak points in the team. spin, and recent injuries to anderson and stokes. bairstow, if you like. that extremely high pressure approach is more fragile to that sort of raggedness at the edges. also, some things never change, you gotta take your chances.
― Fizzles, Tuesday, 20 June 2023 18:40 (ten months ago) link
fwiw didn’t mind the declaration, should have let root hit out or get out tho.
― Fizzles, Tuesday, 20 June 2023 18:41 (ten months ago) link
Fair play to the Aussies - did what they needed to, basically. Always that feeling that we'd never win like that over there (2011 was different altogether).
Agreed the team is a bit ragged around the edges, particularly Bairstow and Moeen. I wonder if they'll go Dawson for the next test, assuming Mo's finger won't heal? Wood for Anderson, who looked like he was struggling throughout?
― Stars of the Lidl (Chinaski), Tuesday, 20 June 2023 18:52 (ten months ago) link
from what anderson said he was just struggling to find his rhythm after a lay off from picking up a niggle, so he will back himself to improve over the series i’d imagine. i back him to have some pivotal moments! more generally it was a fine, competitive test match and there’ll be a lot of crap written, but given the record of stokes, mccullum and team you back them to get to the right place. go again in two weeks’ time!
