The Forumers' Ashes 2023

[AVA]

Should be forced to bat with 10 men.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Happy with 7 wickets in the last match. Hopefully I keep improving and get 7 in an innings in the next one with 2 hat tricks.

I then told it that J. Arquis, Daemon and S. Vicente were all opening batsmen and asked if the team should be revised. To which it agreed and suggested this, which the eagle-eyed amongst you will notice is lacking in one key area.

1. J. Howe
2. D. Worcester-Park
3. S. Mole
4. G. Herregonaes
5. R. Inksquid (wicket-keeper)
6. R. Smythe-Brown
7. H. Davis
8. C. Thrust
9. J. Arquis or S. Vicente
10. Daemon (reserve player)

Maybe chatgpt reckons this England can beat our Australis with 10 men

 

[Daemon]

1. S. Vicente - Vicente's 41 runs and 3 wickets in 4 innings showcase his ability to contribute in both departments. He should be included as an all-rounder.

terrible performance. drop him.

terrible performance. drop him.

ok

Daemon in for an underperforming Vicente and Inksquid drops down the order a place too

 

[the big bambino]

Daemon should play for us and bring a refreshing dose of spirit of the game honesty to change our cheating hearts.

[Howe_zat]

Just simmed the third test. At one point during it a little box popped up to say that an all-time Ashes record had fallen.

see you tomorrow

 

[the big bambino]

Ten men stumped by the keeper standing back?

Third Test, Headingley

Day One

The Australians chose to bat first on the first morning and made an extremely cautious start. After the first hour the score was 28/0 with Anton Jevali on 6* off 45 balls. But the visitors' opening pair eventually got going and established a fifty stand to open up the test. Smyth-Brown got the opening wicket (Duff caught behind for 26) before a brief rain delay either side of lunch with the score on 57/1.

Slim once again looked to change the tempo of things and mostly succeeded, bringing up a confident half century in a stand with Jevali that took Australia into three figures. With England in danger of only taking one wicket before tea, Smyth-Brown again stepped up to remove the obdurate Jevali for 47(124) with the final delivery of the session.

Australia weren't able to make the most of a good position as they lost three more wickets in the evening. Inksquid took a second catch to dismiss Slim, this time off the offspinner Mole. After debutant Keast had put on a stand of 40 with the dangerous Delonge, the England quicks came back to dismiss both with the score hovering around 200. Ruthless and Kasinathan saw out the rest of a shortened but see-sawing day with the score on 226/5.

 

[duffer]

Everyone got a start goddammit

 

[ataraxia]

All set for an easy tail routing, a bit of early batting trouble, and the highest Ashes score by a number #7 I think

 

[weeman27bob]

Can't wait for Thrust to take all 10 wickets in the second innings for figures better than Laker.

 

[weeman27bob]

Decent enough day 1 though, honours still relatively even
