#ashes23 — Public Fediverse posts

Good 🌄 Morning!
I'd like to point out that while the world knew Moeen Ali was retiring yesterday, I predicted the same for Stuart Broad. #Ashes23

#MattGolding Cartoons @goldingcartoons The #Ashes23 series. Today's @theage #cartoon. #alttext

England strengths:
1) Batting
2) Mark Wood, who is the pick of the bowlers
Major Weakness:
1) Need to find a decent wicket keeper.

How on Earth did England only bowl 83 overs on a day with no rain breaks? Time to implement penalty runs. #AUSvENG #Ashes #Ashes23

Even Bairstow seemed shocked that he took that catch - one that would have been regulation for every other test keeper. #AUSvENG #Ashes #Ashes23

English cricket has a MASSIVE problem. The fact that Usman Khawaja was singled out by Lords Members shows the well documented #racism suffered by subcontinental teams is not just hearsay. The #MCC MUST publicly ban these members for life for the international community to not assume they'll just sweep it under the carpet again, as they've done since the 1970s. And don't get the world started on the Spirt of Cricket hypocrisy... Especially Chief Ashes Cheater Broad

Why didn't England open with Wood? Decent pace bowler and yet they open up with the medium pace trundler Robinson? #Ashes #Ashes23 #AUSvENG

Brilliantly written #cricket piece.

Seems time does not always heal

@bradley hmm. I fear Boland will become another Macgill. Good enough to be compulsory for every match *except* for that other bowler who is almost exactly the same age and is *just* that bit better so will get preference each time for the duration of their career. I like Boland over Hazelwood for flat tracks (economy great) but for Leeds I think you'd want H'wood for the movement.

More to the point, who's touring as spin options and who should be given the guernsey instead of Lyon?

Spirit of the game, eh?!
I'll just leave this here.

This is getting silly. #ENGvsAUS #Ashes23

England just chipping away, but essential they keep their head on and not get carried away. Stokes leading from the front, this is Cricket at its very best! #ashes23

@meganchapman it’s actually disgraceful. Such poor sportsmanship. May as well have brought the sandpaper.
…and yes. If anyone brings up the Tony Greig event (checks calendar) 49 years ago that was pretty low too.
This was supposed to be a better, more likeable Australian side. #stillcheatingAussies #ashes #ashes23

I'm old fashioned: the Starc catch shouldn't be a catch because the ball hit the ground, period.

Under the current rules, probably a catch. But the rule should be changed, IMO.

Australia were going well until they got Tongue tied. #Ashes23
