snowychap Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) In amongst this Grauniad article, 'Ashes disgrace', RIP cricket and a nudie run: how Australia's media reacted : The ABC’s election analyst, Antony Green, was one of several who opted for numbers over words to express the gravity of Australia’s collapse. — Antony Green (@AntonyGreenABC) August 6, 2015 04W24W0W04100000W40000110W020000401000W000000000101000011W0011200010040040000W1W30000000000000400000000000001004W — Antony Green (@AntonyGreenABC) August 6, 2015 The first test innings in history where the ball by ball summary fits in a tweet #Ashes2015 Edit: I don't think he's right (even for the first 'first innings'). Still, I like the first tweet. Edited August 7, 2015 by snowychap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Wood can bat though.Yep, he's played a couple of cracking shots off Johnson this morning - a punch over wide mid off for four and a beautifully timed cover drive just. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) can't keep out a good ball though. I don't rate Buttler. He's a one day batter thats all. Edited August 7, 2015 by PaulC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 To be fair to Starc, he's bowled pretty well this morning/innings.From England's point of view, it's nice to see the ball still moving around a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) If the sun come out it will stop swinging. Starc is very very good. Right now Broad is a better batsman than Buttler Edited August 7, 2015 by PaulC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dAVe80 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 So plan B on Sunday was to got to Scarborough, and watch Yorkshire vs Durham. Plan C is now being formulated, as Yorkshire are 94/7 at lunch. on day 1.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Two wickets just before bad light stops play for the day. Stokes gets a fifer. Australia still trail by 90 runs with three wickets of the second innings remaining. We could win this within three days, couldn't we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 We'll win it tomorrow morning. Worst Aussie team I have ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Hopefully tomorrow will be perfect, we skittle them out by 12:30, then the football season starts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PongRiddims Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 The one thing I don't understand, throughout this whole series, the aussies have been strong favourites with the bookies, they don't normally get it wrong that many times. Not that I'm complaining mind #chingching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
