Game Ashes First Test, Perf. Thongs vs Flip Flops

🥰 Love BigFooty? Join now for free.

So another Ashes series is upon us this Friday in Perf.

As such, the game won't start on the fashionable side of the country until around 1:20pm. No Elmo that doesn't make it a day night game.

Aussies going in without Captain Cummins and Mr. Injury Hazelwood.

Should be a good game nonetheless.

If you dont like cricket then get out!

First test doesn’t start until Friday. Give yourself an uppercut, Dinsdale, and then lock this fred until Friday morning.

It's not a gameday fred cloth ears, that rule you stupidly refer to is for AFL.

This is to discuss everything great about cricket.

How great is it that we have a debut fast bowler in Doggett

Forget about Doggett. You’re a #floggett. :$

This isn't just cricket - it's the Ashes.
 


Love smashing the Poms. Boland boxing day hattrick incoming

I remember this rather fondly, following his 6 for 7 at the MCG:

Knock knock
Who's there?
Boland
Boland who?
Boland de Poms out for bugger all!!

I’m a bit worried about this test, being in Perth and Hazelwood and Cummins out.
Would be more confident if it was Brisbane but then again, it would probably be washed out.
It will be interesting to see how Archer and Wood perform as our top order is a bit flaky.

100%. I knew hoff would get injured ffs. Don’t reckon wood plays but we’ll still be underdone with the bowlers. Need a huge test from starc or Scotty B.

Starc tapers off as a series goes on, but tends to start as absolute 🔥 I reckon he's up for a big one.

Begs the question - why on earth did Hazlewood play in a series of meaningless ODI's, just weeks before the first Test? It was as pointless as mentioning Essendon's premiership odds.

He needs to give the white ball stuff up, outside of World Cups. Ashes and India Tests are the worst possible times to be injured.
 
Archer and Wood are the only threats bowling wise. Maybe Atkinson but I don't remember him bowling in Australia before. I don't think he has.

Archer and Wood are made of glass. Even if they survive a spell you know their pace will drop significantly after that.

They can't overbowl them, otherwise they will be in the Bumrah situation of last season.

If Root gets a ton with no Cummins or Hazlewood does it count?
 
I can't believe the hypocrisy of Pommy fans, continuing to bring up the Bairstow run out at Lords. They conveniently fail to mention the fact that Bairstow himself tried to do exactly the same thing to Labuschagne a couple of days earlier....... but of course it's only poor sportsmanship when the Aussies do it.
