The Cricket

[OneBrianIrvine.]

“Morning everyone”

Can’t see a thread…

Ashes almost upon us. Probably listening only for this one due to a mate dumping their TNT sport for a fire-stick. I’ve been sponging off their log in for years, it’s so selfish of them 

Still hugely looking forward to it though.

Simply marvellous

Love cricket. Being in NZ, there's plenty of it and England really didn't look great in their warm up games here. I think it's going to be a whitewash in all honesty.  Hopefully they can dig deep and find a few performances though, would be a shame to be a complete waste of a spectacle. 

[OneBrianIrvine.]

Well jealous of you being in NZ, only been the once but determined to get back there one day. Absolutely favourite place I’ve been. 
 

I root for England when it comes to the Ashes but foresee a whitewash as well. There’s been a strange late positivity in the England reporting but don’t see it.

Good first session from Oz. Starc is on fire.

Hopefully it's decided day 3 so I witness it.

Don't think there has been a specific cricket thread ever on here as you said OBI but can't be arsed looking 

To be honest if there had been it would probably only have involved Manc talking to himself.

He'll be delighted to have company now

I love the cricket but the convicts keep very unsociable hours. I’ll catch all the highlights.

I don't really have a preference but when you meet the 'Barmy Army'

Look evwybody we're a bit potty

Wasn’t sledging just joking about not seeing a day 3

I hear you about the barmy army - not sure why I’ve ended up supporting England in the cricket TBH. Probably influence of tv as a kid.

what an opening day - managed to watch some

Brilliant you are going

No worries

Sellotapegate swung me the other way but now Warner is out of the picture I am largely back to neutral.

I'm lucky enough to have got into the members enclosure so should be a Nigel free zone

No doubt Jerusalem and Sweet Chariot will carry so I'll have earbuds in for the radio commentary.

Weather is looking iffy though.

Well, that was quite the unexpected first day! I expected them to get out quick, and Australia to just go about thier business efficiently and easily, thought they would end the day about 150/160-4. 

Interesting to see how the poms approach tomorrow when they get in. They have the bowling attack to take care of this. Just need to keep their heeds when batting.

I also find myself backing England in the cricket, not sure why. I guess it's only really football (in the world of sport) where I f****n detest them.
