Hurry up, mate. I don't see why I should always start the cricket threads.
Anyway, it's here at last - the Ashes, 2019.
Can't wait. The adrenaline's flowing, the heart's pounding, fingernails are in danger.
Come on! 2 hours, 16 minutes to go.
Let's get started!

Indeed. I see Archer got the call up, he's living the dream at the mo! Uncanny how he predicted a super over and 15 runs more than a year ago for the World Cup final, weird.

Root has tattoos?
Just kidding, mate! I agree, bean stalks will be a big factor in this tussle. He scored a number of 80s in the WC and has that X-Factor. Having said that, only a fool would underestimate the Aussie bowling attack. I rather fancy Chris Woakes to do some damage at his home ground - Edgbaston.

Ben Stokes is same same me.part Maori. He's a Champion.
He's in fine form.
But, disregard that World Cup 50 over game. That is , sure cricket, but, I dunno… not a real indication ..
Cricket does no get any better than a real Test Match 3 innings over 5 days. Old School. The Ashes is the ultimate,, Always drama, thrill and excitement hopefully it continues.,.

17-2 Sandpiper Bancroft has gone. Maybe some doubt about Warner's dismissal - none about this!

Mate, I can only watch the same link I put up before.
I know it drops out from time to time. Nothing I can do about that.
But Khawaja has gone for 13. It's 35-3.
