The Ashes Tour of Australia 2025/26

What's the old adage again?

Only three things England can't do.

They can't bat, can't bowl and can't field

Let's be honest a 3 day defeat isn't that far out of the question.

^ I’m an optimist by nature so to put it another way that would be a 50% improvement on the 1st Test

Depends if and when it happens mate, now might be a four day defeat lol. I'm wondering now if there are some England fans now emailing the ECB to get their money back and planning to come home early.

Australia 511 all out 177 runs lead
bloody inexcusable performance in the field - we'll be lucky to even match that kind of batting and set a decent run chase.

First wicket down.
Would not surprise me in the least if England lose all ten wickets in a session and lose by an innings. In fact I am almost at such a point where I am resigned to it happening .

Brain dead shot by Ollie Pope gifting his wicket away in the season of goodwill.

Joe Root out for 15. We're fucked without Root.

I think we were fucked anyway tbh
