Aussies had no right to get that score.
They will likely win by 100 runs now.
Devastating for Pakistan.

Aus have enough runs now. Amazing fight back.

I suspect that 140 might be enough though.
Cricket can be a game of small margins.
Could be a bit of a positive sliding door moment for Peake this. He is very talented.
Gonna be some random tariffs on Ireland tomorrow

the inability to work out a successful formula for the champo is hopeless.
It is only a matter of time for sure.
23.09.2025 16:36 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Totally agree, I firmly believe he will be a brilliant player for England.
As will his brother...
The Rehan fan club is in dismay on Instagram I see (no idea about other platforms).
What I would say is he is a brilliant talent. But how often has a spinner if his type been successful in Australia? What if he just needs a bit more time. He is incredibly young still.
This looks a really good squad and I am delighted Potts is getting a go. I think he will do really well.
23.09.2025 15:26 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 2 π 0Two thoughts on the England ashes squad.
1. Bethall will be number 3 and Pope the spare batter as shown be Brook as VC.
2. Jacks as the spare spinner is the right call. He is taller and bowls into the pitch more than Rehan. Plus the pitches in Aus will be pace friendly and the spinners redundant.
It's going to rain and rain hard.

12.09.2025 20:54 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Surrey to win. Hampshire to be relegated. Their last two games are the hardest of anyone.
Also Durham are far too good to go down.
County Championship div 1 table. Surrey lead by 1 point over Nots
Even as a relatively partisan Surrey fan, my view is that 5 wins and 6 draws should put you ahead of 4 wins and 8 draws.
Surrey play Notts next week and a rather large game... Also they will be without Dom Sibley I suspect π²π¬
Outrageous suggestion.

If you want Jordan Cox and Sam Curran in the team, who are you dropping?!
This is a decent looking group.
This schedule is nuts, that top 4 have played an insane series against India, then the 100 and a day later they are playing an ODI.

But the women's game, although one sided showed how far the game has come.
