Australia vs England - The Ashes 2021/22

[Richie]

He can practice playing like an aussie opener when he's playing at sheffield shield level.

Seems he does not have the technique or concentration to play at Test level. Some can pile on state runs but hit a brick wall when it comes to coverting national runs.

What is this charity or something?

Yes CA kindness to duds week. Well this is no big surprise as Langer and Bailey said before the series that Harris was to be given a fair run this time. So expect him to play all five matches.

He's more of a T20 player. Opens for Renegades when he's not playing for Australia.

England are far too shy in the field. That doesn't help the bowlers.

Richardson is also out Boland in on his home track.

One hour before play at the Melbourne Colosseum as I like to call the MCG.

 

[Richie]

Rain delay. Expected 11am start now. Drat.

You missed Adelaide. Figured you may have left us Sharkman84

Ricky Ponting makes an interesting point about the wet outfield having an adverse affect on the new ball. May make the skippers think hard about bowling first.

Someone on cricinfo says Root will bowl first. Says he can read his lips. Yeh sure.

 

[Richie]

Mute point about Root as Cummins has won the toss and doing the same. Well this move has worked for us so far in this series.

Nah, I started a new job the week of the Adelaide Test and work had the game on in the background.

Been a busy couple of weeks.

England 3/62

Australia in a good spot at lunch first day even without Hazlewood and Richardson.. thanks to an inspired first session from the skipper. Seems captaincy does not hinder his bowling potency.

England 4/82
Joe Root out just after a half century

 

[Richie]

Poor shot Joe Root after looking in no trouble.
