No batters and depleted bowling, well looks like McGrath will be calling his customary 5-0 result then.🤣 There's nothing like being optimistic😂....but I haven't got much hope either. Just to underline it the first day of their last warm up game has been washed out. But there is a glimmer of hope....https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/59473412 ....it might only be 4-0😂 Edited November 30, 2021 by coxyhog 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galenkia Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Not all bad news though. Talk is the Perth test might be cancelled due to Covid restrictions, so they would play a second day/night game at Adelaide instead, which would favour our bowler's more. Every little cloud...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that I'm on the last drops of a bottle of red now & there's four hours to go before the first ball is bowled....

Read in today's Times that BT are using Fox Sports commentary, except for the sessions where Michael Vaughn is involved😀 Couldn't stand Vaughn as a commentator even before the latest "events", rent a quote always trying to get himself in the headlines taking cheap shots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coxyhog Posted December 7, 2021 Author Share Posted December 7, 2021 (edited) Root won the toss & England batting. No Anderson or Broad so the bowling looks a bit lightweight. Australia XI: Warner, Harris, Labuschagne, Smith, Head, Green, Carey (wk), Cummins (c), Starc, Lyon, Hazlewood. England XI: Burns, Hameed, Malan, Root (c), Stokes, Pope, Buttler (wk), Woakes, Robinson, Wood, Leach. Edited December 7, 2021 by coxyhog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeb Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 (edited) Joe Root gone for a duck! England are in almighty trouble at the Gabba, with England captain Joe Root now trudging back to the sheds for a duck. Hazlewood celebrates the wicket of Joe Root Josh Hazlewood has his second wicket from three overs and Australia are rife with confidence. Root had to play at a ball that would have hit the top of off stump. The ball catches the outside of his bat and flies to David Warner at first slip, who takes a comfortable catch. Ben Stokes is the new man at the crease and lets his first delivery outside the off stump go through to the keeper. England 3-11 after six overs. Drinks are served at the Gabba with England 3-24 Australia couldn’t have asked for a much better start to the series. Hazlewood has been the pick of the bowlers with 2-2 from four overs, while Starc’s first ball wicket to Rory Burns will go down in Ashes folklore. Starc celebrates removing Rory Burns for a golden duck on the first ball of the Ashes series https://www.smh.com.au/sport/cricket/ashes-2021-22-first-test-live-updates-broad-set-to-be-left-out-of-england-xi-20211207-p59fiu.html Edited December 8, 2021 by Zeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
