The Natural Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 (edited) Play has been abandoned for the day without a ball being bowled. The fourth Ashes Test match is drawn. Australia have retained the Ashes. Fuck. Edited July 23, 2023 by The Natural Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Any more anticlimactic way to win/retain a trophy? Maybe being a clubhouse leader in golf when weather washes out the last round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Marnus Labuschagne scored just eight off his first 75 balls. The last time an Australian had fewer in England off 75 balls was in 1909.

The Natural Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Five of England's top six have made 40 or more for the second match in a row. Before then it had not happened in a home Ashes Test since 1926. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Man, the Fifth Test would have been even more dramatic going into it at 2-2 than 2-1 Australia. England would have tried to have made history coming back from 2-0 down. Stupid rain washing away the Fourth Test. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 4 minutes ago, The Natural said: Big breaking news, Stuart Broad has just announced on TV that he is to retire from cricket at the end of this match. Woah. BBC Sport: England bowler Stuart Broad says he will retire after the conclusion of the fifth Ashes Test at The Oval. The 37-year-old has taken 602 wickets in 167 Tests, making him the second most successful paceman in Test history behind team-mate James Anderson. England reached 389-9 on day three of the series finale, leading by 377. If they complete victory over the final two days they will draw the series 2-2, denying Australia a first Ashes win in England since 2001. Broad has taken 20 wickets in the series and has admitted his own surprise at being fit to play in all five Tests which have been played in just six weeks. Broad made his debut against Sri Lanka in December 2007. Last week during the fourth Ashes Test in Manchester, he became just the second pace bowler after Anderson to take 600 Test wickets. He also played 121 one-day internationals and 56 T20s - leading the T20 side between 2011 and 2014 - although has solely played the Test format since 2016. Broad has been one of England's great performers in Ashes cricket, taking a record 151 Test wickets against Australia. He took 8-15 at Trent Bridge against Australia in 2015 - one of a number of superb wicket-taking spells that have defined his career. He also took 5-5 in just 5.1 overs against India at the same ground in 2011, including his first Test match hat-trick as MS Dhoni, Harbhajan Singh and Praveen Kumar fell in successive deliveries. Against South Africa in 2016, he claimed a remarkable 5-1 in 31 balls. More to follow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
