Gleadless Owl Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 (edited) Only the 3rd test and it's already on a par with 2005 for drama. Still enjoyable to watch even though our chances of getting anything out of the series are slim. I always think modern players in any sport have it a little bit easier and get a bit more attention than any of their predecessors ever had. But fuck me Stokes has got to be up there with the all time greats Edited July 7, 2023 by Gleadless Owl 1 Quote

owl4ever1867 Posted July 9, 2023 Author Posted July 9, 2023 Bit late......intact very late.....but..... ENGLAND WIN!!! England beat Australia in the 3rd Ashes Test at Headingley by 3 wickets, a superb knock of 75 by Brook & vital contributions by Crawley 44 & Woakes 32no led England to victory. The 4th Ashes Test begins on Wednesday 19th July at Old Trafford. What will be intresting is, if Jimmy Anderson gets a recall at his home ground or if England will go with the same attack that helped England skittle Australia out in the 1st innings for 263 & the 2nd innings for 224.
