Australia vs England - The Ashes 2021/22

Wouldn't surprise me.

The forum scene died off a lot when Facebook and Twitter was at its zenith.

If I think about it I much prefer the forums than I ever did social media.

He used to be a mod on here.

Many people interacted with him but now he got up and left. Hope he returns knowing that you're back

I remember.

He and a few other Kiwis alongside me were also in a small English cricket group on FB a decade ago but I walked as it got a bit toxic at times.

We want more members to make a small but vibrant cricket community here.. minus any trolls. We were one more but my Kiwi mate also just vanished one day.. not a word since. All is forgiven Pete.

Baggers.

Australia XI: Marcus Harris, David Warner, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Cameron Green, Alex Carey (wk), Pat Cummins (c), Mitch Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood.

England yet to name its playing X1.

Baggers.

Plenty of green grass on the Gabba deck. Hoping for an Aussie toss win and us to bowl first. I can see our quality seamer pair doing some early damage while Starc has excellent swinging conditions with the overcast and humidity..

Predicting that Australia will win the series 4-1.
I suspect the game at the Adelaide oval might be a tricky one for us.
I think the whole series will have games that are close results.

Correct me if I'm wrong but we are yet to lose a pink ball match at Adelaide. Hazlewood was exceptional in the Indian series pinkie.

Fox is suggested Stuart Broad's also in doubt. That's a huge plus for us if true.

I believe you are correct. I've been to a couple of those now.

I have reduced that win/loss margin given the expected match delays on the Eastern Seaboard caused by La Nina. I am expected at least one draw.

So the Poms are going into the first Ashes Test without the veteran pair that have some 1100 wickets between them.

Yep I do. Moved here from Sydney in 2015. The first pink ball Test against NZ that summer was my first stint at Adelaide Oval.

Pat Cummins loses his first Test coin toss. England batting. Not too worried about that as this deck will play some tricks in the first part of the match.

Just hope he doesn't overbowl himself.
