Universal Love Cricket - Ashes 2025

Aus commentary 10 minutes ago, my god england are so dumb for not declaring

Aus commentary now, england are on top in the game

Listen i'm not pro england, but what a carry on for a bit there with Warner about them not declaring. Like they were truly befuddled

 

[PerfectFooty]

Leaked 61 runs off the 10th man lol. All of them deserved for batting this out rather than giving the aussies what they wanted

 

[Crimson Azure]

Australia have a bit of a history of giving up a ton of runs to the tail.

 

[jhong]

We shall see how Aus bats on this deck . I have England on top with runs on the board .

 

[Crusty Demon]

It's a good batting deck. Will be surprised if we aren't in front after the 1st innings. Head, Marnus, Smith, Carey should love batting next day or two.

Few balls already either taking off or staying low, if we don't at least match their 1st innings we are ****ed IMO

Confident we will. 2nd day up there is usually the best day to bat. Just have to see Archer's overs off.

Lyon sounded pissed off . I wonder if he had the ok from team management or just went on his own . Anyway the first session this morning will tell the tale . Early wickets to the poms could set the cat among the pigeons .

He even said that he was filthy being left out. Said that he hadn’t spoken to team management about it yet either.

Also, Australia should get a warning for the slow over rate which won’t improve with no spinner.

 

[jhong]

Dropped.

 

[jhong]

Not a great shot Trav , off to a promising start though .

 

[PerfectFooty]

Been working, but weatherald seemed to go okay which is good

 

[jhong]

Decent knock from Weatherald , helped by some crap bowling from England. Now need these two to go on with it.

 

[PerfectFooty]

Marnus playing Joffra for a six and Joffra being totally bemused by it is good old funny cricket

 

[jhong]

Bit frustrating all have got starts but no one has gone on with it .

 

[PerfectFooty]

England seem to be crumbling at the moment. They've over bowled Archer

 

[jhong]

What the hell Green ? Bit of a crumble now with Smudge gone as well . That was one hell of a catch to get rid of Smith .

 

[Crimson Azure]

Two days, 16 wickets and almost 700 runs so far is about as fun as test cricket can be.

Yes there has been some silly decisions and questionable tactics but I’m fully ready for 3 more days of this.

 

[The Dr]

Very enjoyable test so far. good battle between bat and ball.

We’re ahead but I worry we’ll regret one of our bats not going big.

Gotta be 120+ ahead on the first innings.

Yeah all those starts without a ton a bit frustrating. Still nice to see a good contribution across the board rather than Smith/Head carrying the side.

 

[jhong]

The more i see Greens dismissal , the more ridicules it looks . Lets see if anyone can top it today .

Feel like England have nearly let this one slip, they should be well ahead. Agree we need a big innings lead, this pitch won't be good tomorrow or Monday.

Starc moving his feet only in his head . Fun to watch .

 

[jhong]

Well played 50 Mitchell Starc . Having a ripping summer.
