Universal Love Cricket - Ashes 2025

Well that was convincing.Smith just smashing the winning runs . 2-0 .

 

[Young Redleg]

Haven't always warmed to Smith, but it was entertaining watching him roast the shit out of Archer like that

 

[Dory_77]

A couple of collapses undoing the poms. They've got talent imo but played some stupid choices last night cooked their chances at putting a defendable total up.

Good to see someone other than Starc clean up today; Neser very good for the 5fa.

Baz McCullum reminds me a lot of Goody.

Baz McCullum reminds me a lot of Goody.

If he was the cricket equivalent of goody the English would just be stonewalling everything

The whole philosophy of baz ball is to have a positive mindset, if you think it play the shot. It's almost the complete opposite of Goodwin philosophy of slow down the line safe footy. McCullum is more like fly if you want to make a footy equivalent.

The Aus Open golf was so much more entertaining than the second test.

I thought the last half an hour of the test was pretty entertaining.

 

[PerfectFooty]

What can i can compare to old us and the English team is constant deflecting after every loss

I could honestly have seen a Goody throw out 'we overprepared'

 

[Demon Attack]

Baz should invite the media down to their environment at Noosa.

Smith out , Uzzie to bat at 4 . We won a toss and are batting .

 

[jhong]

Khawaja very lucky , put down in slips and they keep bowling on his pads , his strength. Keep going .

 

[jhong]

2 wickets in 3 balls after lunch . Marnus and Green out .

 

[The Dr]

Yes we won the first two tests but man our batting is flaky AF

Yes we won the first two tests but man our batting is flaky AF

Has been the way for a few years tbh. Smith/Head cover over a lot of cracks with some occasional help from Marnus, Khawaja and the tail.

 

[jhong]

England holding their catches today (except for 1) has us struggling . 5 down. its been a very dumb display of batting by us IMO

 

[schmuttt]

England have been good today, going to be a massive test for their batting. This is a 400+ pitch imo and we are likely to end up below par, at this stage I'm almost barracking for England just to extend the series.

 

[jhong]

Well played Alex Carey , a much needed 100 .

 

[jhong]

Greens last 2 dismissals at bat should not be overlooked . He really needs to apply himself batting wise or should face being dropped .

 

[jhong]

Nice 50 Starc .

 

[jhong]

This morning I was thinking surely the poms can’t screw this up . They are doing their best to prove me wrong.

 

[stEdy]

Great spell from ScoBo and Lyno before lunch there

 

[PerfectFooty]

Englol

 

[jhong]

They must not rate Greens bowling , There he is .
