Well that was a fizzer! England would have been better off having a player testing +ve for Covid and not fronting up on Sunday.

Re: Cricket 2021
It's like watching basketball. In 1 out of 100 games the last 2 minutes might be mildly interesting. Every other game is crap.
Don't see too many test matches these days where the ball dominates the bat like it did in this one. I think that if Hazlewood had have been fit the poms would have been rolled for 60 in both innings and we wouldn't have needed day 3.
Poms must be praying for Omicron to intervene. They'll be licking hand rails and door handles once they get to sin city.

Re: Cricket 2021
Only suggested it because most of the innings in the BB last longer, and score a lot more runs, than the Poms 2nd dig.

Australia thrash feeble England to retain Ashes at Melbourne.

Re: Cricket 2021
Well the 2 teams are confirmed.
Can the Aussies go 4 blot or can the poms make a game of it?
I think the weather may decide any result.

Re: Cricket 2021
Faark no - we're only playing the Poms.
Save the tricks for real competition.
Re: Cricket 2021
In 4 years time there will probably be a similar result. At least Everton is up and down. It's usually all down for cricketers touring Australia.

Re: Cricket 2021
Unfortunately the usual Sydney rain will persist and the stop start nature will continue.
But at least the rain may cause the test to go for 5 days. Something unusual with a match with this Pom outfit.

Australia First Innings:416 for 8 declared (134.0 overs)
England First Innings:67 for 4 (31.3 overs)
Or, in simpler terms.
