Test The Ashes Third Test December 17-21 1000hrs @ The Adelaide Oval

[Pakenhamsaint]

In remembrance of Bazball.

Brutally murdered by Australia at Adelaide Oval on the 21st day of December 2025.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Y'all even have time to get your sheets on the line for the afternoon sun

Not in Vic ATM.

 

[Patron]

Get in

Well done

What a series

Worried about retirement announcements now

khawajas last test should be at the SCG. Or on Boxing Day if he is self aware enough to announce his retirement.

 

[TasSixer]

bed dry

 

[Struggle]

Let's not forget how heroic Ben Stokes was in this game

 

[Mr Meow]

A bit of final day tension just to make it sweeter. Well done to the lads. Not an all time dominant or ruthless side, but one that mostly gets the job done. Winning the Ashes after 3 Tests is always a momentous achievement.

 

[aabp1978]

[grumbleguts]

Carse is a better batter then bowler

Did you even watch that innings...

Oh, wait, I've seen him bowl. I get what you mean.

 

[scoman]

Barmy army's "same old Aussies". Yes, we smashed you again lol.

Same old Aussies..... Always winning!!

 

[Bedi]

The fact the Barmy Army are chanting now sums up why i hate them so much

 

[Stottzy]

Bye bye McCullum.

 

[Pistol Night]

Same old Pommys, Always shitting

 

[GreekLunatic]

They will be morale victors for getting as close as they did

 

[kozi]

Got the ashes now time to find 4 new batsmen and a spinner

 

[MarcMaverick]

What excuse this time Baz and Stokesy.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

What are the chances of Murphy coming back into the team? Or are there better young spinners?

I'll leave that to those who have seen more of the Shield. I don't think I've seen Murphy at all this season.

Guessing they will go to Khunemann as the most recent; but Rocchicioli and Swepson also probably in the thinking along with Swepson.
Age probably won't (and should almost never) come into it.

I presume they will play a spinner, not rely on Head and Webster, in Melbourne. Any chance of playing two in Sydney (there was very little to begin with imo) is probably gone.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

So glad Boland got a wicket

And he got the one that will be replayed the most

The Boon sweep shot with AB on the balcony

 

[TigerCraig]

So, do we give Starc a rest now? He wont want one

 

[Roonescape]

Throwing the Poms a rope at the end and giving them hope makes it feel even better.

 

[chickenonachain]

Bye bye McCullum.

Surely

 

[MisterMarcus]

Thoughts and prayers go out to the Debbie Downers

 

[Andrew Mc]

F'wits still singing about themselves...

 

[GrumpyGoron]

You reap what you sow Baz

 

[Joffaboy]

Oh no, somebody stood somewhere for a bit.

You ok love?

 

[Silly Mid On]

From who? Other than Khawaja who should be phased out anyway...

Worried Smith might

Don't want him to - we need him
