“The pitch for the fourth Ashes Test in Melbourne has ‘done too much’ and has resulted in an ‘unfair’ contest between bat and ball, says former England captain Michael Vaughan.”
Did Australia and England bat on different pitches? Or is he complaining that the Australia bowlers are better? What is he even talking about, the wittering fool?

“England were pushed towards the precipice of the fastest Ashes series defeat in more than 100 years”
[insert the “we’re all trying to find who did this” meme here]

TMS are talking about how Travis Head would be a kindly truck driver who'd offer you a lift even if it was out of his way and would talk just the right amount.
It's better than the banging on about milking the mid-on cow that was shortly before it.

Will the English shut up about bad decisions now they've been given an absolute shocking howler from the umpire for Weatherald's wicket?
No, no, they will not. Of course not.

Ball 3 and Duckett is bamboozled by Starc. Ball 4, wild swing, not far off an edge to the keeper.
First over bodes well for the length of this England innings.

“Third test in balance after day one”
Yeah, I’ll believe that if England a) bat on day two and b) survive day two.

How long before English Cricket says "enough is enough" and changes the leadership? Because it clearly isn't working. This is an embarrassment. A capitulation.
Yes, they've won some bashabout children's games but the Ashes is supposed to be *important*.

Borrowed from Chris Marsden over on the blue butterfly site.
RIP English Cricket, AGAIN.

Well, that was awful. Not just because of the result, but because that was one of the worst test matches I’ve ever seen. Over in two days, four 20-20 type innings and just a dreadful advert for the game. If this is the future of how test cricket is to be played then it simply won’t survive.
Bazball won’t be remembered for the innovative attacking entertainment they think it is, but as the destroyer of the purest form of the game.

Winton's book contains some of those clippings so popular in Australian English: bronzies, deckie, Landy, oldies, vollies, wetty, and others.
Without context it's hard to guess them unless you know AusEng. I've updated my post on the phenomenon:

I took a nap that was supposed to be just the interval but I missed the whole second half and its three goals 😭 #WomensWorldCup #WomensWorldCup2023 #AUSENG #WWC #FIFAWWC #WWC2023 #FIFAWWC2023 #soccer #sports

England besiegt Australien trotz eines Traumtors von Sam Kerr. Wie Englands Matchplan aussah, welche Kritik Gustavsson nach dem Spiel erwarten dürfte und wie das Spiel aus Stadionsicht aussah, klären @GNetzer und @abecker in der neuen Folge: https://rasenfunk.de/nationalteams/174
