Barmy Army is like we're not going to boo Smith. Smith comes out to bat after Head annihilates the poms and i hear some salty boos

T20 really has impacted test cricket in so many ways. We have higher run rates which are really entertaining, but we also have dumbarse impatient batters doing some bizarre shots. End result is 2 day tests.

Yeah, I'm disappointed it finished so early but what a rollercoaster of a game it was. Both teams had the game in control and in their favour only to squander their chances until the 4th innings.
It was test cricket but not the essence of what test cricket is about.
A lot of missteps also so both teams have a lot to review as individuals and as a team.

With the news that Hazelwood will miss all the Ashes , and Khawaja walking like a 60 yo , have the selectors got the balls to drop Uzzie ? I also wonder if moving Head to permanently open is a good idea or if he should stay in the middle order ?
Issues that should of been resolved before the Ashes started. Off to Brisbane then.

I would do this and bring in Webster. You get a decent batsmen and an extra bowling option. In the last shield game he got a 5 for.

I think they leave Head to open as well . Can't have 2 Rookies opening the batting and both Marnus and Smithy are not openers .

Webster has to play. Travesty that he wasn't in the team to begin with

Not sure what made me laugh more , picking Khawaja , or him commenting on a pitch he only had a brief visit on . Feels like the whole momentum of the Ashes has slightly stalled .
Hope we’re brave enough to drop him. Gotta keep opening with Head now and Webster is a much better middle order option than Uzzie.
Yeah the 2 day test really didn't help. CA must have lost a ton of $$$. Too long between tests when it finishes so early. Talk will ramp up again in the coming days, but yeah the momentum has stalled a bit. The series really need England to come out and put up a good show this next test, or the series could be done and dusted yet again far too early. The memorable Ashes series from the past are the closely fought one's. On paper their team is arguably better than ours. So i expect them to win a test or two.

Yeah I want England to be competitive, if we get another blowout series it'll be so boring. Last year's summer against India was awesome because it was close, more of that please.
Yeah I feel somewhat indifferent to the result. Would rather see good cricket and a close series. I would argue the 05 ashes is the greatest I've seen in my life and Australia lost. Series could have gone either way and literally came to that wicket of Brett Lee.
Yep. Easily one of the more memorable test series from any era that one. We seem to be able to put up a fight over there much more than the Poms do here. Most of the memorable Ashes series are over there.
Usually spend most Aus test summers barracking for the other side to make a series out of it.
England are that entitled and arrogant I hope we ****ing smash them.

Their performance in the 2021/22 ashes was literally Zimbabwe levels of bad. I almost didn't feel anything at the end of the series because every game basically followed the same script.

Say what you will, I still had a heap of fun with the 13/14 whitewash, but then again we where reclaiming those. Also had my Englishman grandfather around still to banter with.
As someone who finds bowling boring and would rather watch a good batsman, was probably the most excited i've been watching us bowl with Johnson in peak form

Didn't care for cricket at all when Binga was playing, but of course saw him all over my wheatbix box

True story: I spent a year in around 2007 or so being Brett Lee. That is, I ghost wrote letters to primary school children as Brett Lee talking about healthy living.
It really is a weird world, but my Brett Lee occupation was one of the weirder bits

I reakon I tried the Brett Lee bowling action just as much if not more than Shane Warne.
