Test The Ashes Fifth Test January 4-8 1000hrs @ The SCG

[Bedi]

beautiful to watch.

Bethell looks technically very good, can see why there were calls for him to replace Pope for ages

he's going to be an absolute star of the game

 

[MarcMaverick]

Bethell is nice and set.

I did it again.

 

[norway blue]

Beautiful ball Scotty. Three down.

 

[Donakebab]

Yay another 2-3 day test...

 

[cats_09]

I did it again.

Please keep going

 

[peternorth]

Change of angle

 

[Struggle]

What is this bounce and carry

Are we sure this is the SCG?

 

[010203]

Boland changing his angle brings about the 3rd wicket inside the first 15 overs.

 

[moginie]

England's Fraser-McGurk

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

The Victorian!

 

[Stig O'Hara]

That’s a woeful start from the Poms.

 

[Some Idiot]

Great delivery from Boland there

 

[troybe]

Nice bowling from Scotty

 

[western royboy]

Bethell might be the second coming, but he does not have the technique to bat at 3 in Test Cricket. Had Smith been clued in he would have been caught at 3rd man for nothing in the 2nd Innings in Melbourne

 

[two blue tiger]

Third day finish looming......

 

[cats_09]

England's Fraser-McGurk

Imagine the fun of getting to watch both of them in the Gades line up last year

 

[cats_09]

Seriously Fox - do we really need Howard in the commentary box

 

[MarcMaverick]

Root and Brook to tonne up here.

"That's exactly what Scoland Bo... Scott Boland has done" - Kerry O'Keefe 2026.

Cunning Stunt.

 

[Bedi]

This has arguably been the best first session for the Aussies of the series, and that's saying a lot. Very much a batting wicket

 

[peternorth]

John Howard in the box

 

[icyflakes]

Geez Howard looks great for 86

 

[Plugger35]

England might be regretting batting first now, they can't afford to lose any more wickets before lunch.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Two Howies

 

[moginie]

Imagine the fun of getting to watch both of them in the Gades line up last year

For the twenty balls that both would have faced in total.
