The Ashes. Fifth Test Australia v England @ Blundstone Arena, Hobart, 14-18 January 2022

[Sphynx]

Because he hit 100 runs at a run a ball with the bat when he came in at 3-12 on day one of the match.

That’s my theory and I’m sticking to it

Green outscores he him for the match, came in in just as bad circumstances.

Won the game with the ball though.

Not a terrible decision but Green edged him imo, England were favorites a few hours ago until the Green triple strike.

Lol what a pathetic replica urn

Ussie doesn't like loud noises?

I reckon it would have somehting to do with his religion and the fact alcohol was going to be sprayed everywhere

 

[philreich]

Can’t see anyone to replace him atm??

Cook......

Imagine if they lose to the Windies - which is definitely on the cards.

So why is Langer getting dumped?

It looks cheap as hell. Can't they get a decent one made up?

Head got motm and series

Match sure series fu** off

2 100s and 1 50s at important stage of the innings out of 8 innings.

Harris looks like a man who knows his career is over

He can take Warner's spot

 

[Santana]

Ussie doesn't like loud noises?

Doesn't want alcohol on him

Head got motm and series

Match sure series fu** off

He averaged 60 when no one made runs

 

[Altum Volantes]

Thought Cam Green with 97 runs and 4 wickets would have been awarded player of match. Head is a fair choice as player of the series.

Thought he might be a chance but oh well.

Basically brought the game back from the brink with those 3 wickets.

He’s an excellent bowler, that’s for sure.

English press is gonna have a field day

Raise your hand if you backed in Head

The Eastern states media and public have never been a fan of him.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Any of Head, Green, Boland, Starc and Cummins would've been a worthy MOTS. Despite the pitiful opposition, it was an all-round team effort with no one really carrying the side in any way. Head is a worthy winner and it's disappointing, but not surprising, that some (a very small minority mind you) have an issue with it.

Harris looks like a man who knows his career is over

Harris is 29, Usman and Warner are 35, Usman didn’t cover himself in glory opening the batting in this test match

 

[MJG14]

Botham extremely blunt on Seven.

 

[western royboy]

English press is gonna have a field day

Gunna have a lot of podcasts to listen to, Botham has just called them gutless, me old teammate Tom “the Pom” Harrison is going to have his work cut out holding his job, let alone fixing the mess that he’s created

 

[Mr Taswegian]

Day three crowd of 8088, definitly disappointing crowds when you consider the first three days sold out within hours at a capacity of 14000,Covid unfortunately had the final say on the attendance. I just hope Cricket Australia looks at the presales for this game and not the desimated crowd numbers due to Covid hitting Tassie in recent weeks.

 

[ams4crows]

Green's development in this series I thought would be the highlight of the series but for me it was Boland, to come in to the side and everyone was saying who? Why this plodder? Dumb selection!! To absolutely tearing England a new one each time he bowled was Epic

 

[Bedi]

I'm guessing with it being sprayed all over the shop he didn't want to take a chance of an inadvertent sip.

fair enough but good luck managing that in the dressing room

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Ussie doesn't like loud noises?

He is Muslim…..

Does not want alcohol on him

 

[Outshined]

Head MOTS is debatable but anyone begrudging him MOTM after that innings is a few snags short of a BBQ.

Boland plays for the Frankston Peninsula Cricket Club

Sold tickets (for three days) remain sold. I expect they will look at the revenue. And then expand the BBL instead.
