Windsor Wool Jun 2023 1:23pm, 15 Jun 2023 5,959 posts	Quote Pin Windsor Wool If there's a day 5 at Edgbaston, I'll be there. If there's a day 4 I'll be there, LOL! Are we actually wishing for rain to prolong the matches?! I also have very pricey Oval day 4/5 tickets. I don't hold that much hope of getting to use them, hahahahaha!!
SPR Jun 2023 1:29pm, 15 Jun 2023 40,823 posts	Quote Pin SPR I'm hoping hoping each team bats for an average of 1.25 days which in theory means day 5 will be epic 🤣 I haven't actually got a ticket as expected day 5 to be available later. I better check that's actually the case!

This is precisely the point I was making a few weeks ago. Surrey have the cash to splash on bringing in whomever they want. They've recognised he's unlikely to play test cricket for the foreseeable future, but will make runs in CC, so they've offered him a bunch of cash that noone else can match. Same as they did with Stoneman. And others.

Slurrey 😂 Honestly it's an utter disgrace, Slurrey are the equivalent to Man City in the 2nd division, it's absolutely unfair, not too bothered about Lawrence leaving but to them? I am gutted
Ocelot Spleens Jun 2023 4:50pm, 15 Jun 2023 37,464 posts	Quote Pin Ocelot Spleens I still think Eng will get beaten comfortably. Posdibly very dodgy openers v pace, possibly dodgy number 3 given openers, 4 to 6 fine, 7 out of the position from where he scores runs. Spin looks iffy, 2 bowlers coming back from injury, 1 OK. Second best keeper, no proper all-rounder. Aus have the best attack, best spinner, best middle order, better all rounder.

rf_fozzy Jun 2023 5:00pm, 15 Jun 2023 20,228 posts	Quote Pin rf_fozzy I've changed my mind, I thought England in England with Broad, Anderson and Robinson would nick the series, but a bit like 2019 it'd be Australia as the stronger team overall. Now with Stokes unable to bowl, Moeen instead of Leach and persisting with Crawley, I think Australia will nick it. Probably 2 tight tests which could go either way, but Australia nick one and England the other, 2 tests where England get blown away and the Aussies smash them and a bore draw somewhere, likely due to weather. 3-1 Australia.
