Ah the home Ashes series is almost upon us, my personal favourite sporting event (not down under, that's just generally depressing.) I need something big sporting wise to focus on and quit my worrying about QPR for a while.
Anyone going?
I was at the first day of the World Test Championship at the Oval yesterday. The Aussies looked in depressingly good nick with the bat and their pace attack appears as terrifying as ever.
I think it's going to be an exciting, tough, tense series that'll go down to the wire. I only managed to get tickets to the very final day of the Ashes on 31st July at the Oval, you never know.
I predict...
Crawley to average less than 20 with Duckett getting closer to mid 30s
Brook to really secure his position as an outstanding talent and mainstay of the team
Pope to struggle again~
Root, in what could be his last home Ashes, proving his worth again
Bairstow - haven't a clue which version turns up post broken foot
Broad - an Ashes too far? You'd be mad to write him or Jimmy off.
Robinson to nab Smith at least four times..

What a shame if the weather spoils our chance of squaring the series. |  | | |

What do ya reckon is on Stokes mind atm?
With Saturday and Sunday looking a wash-out, do you think he'll put the Aussies in for 30 minutes or so this evening? |  |

Just know that now the wheels are coming off for Aus that they will get a weather saving draw out of this | | | |

Try and get a 200 lead as quick as possible and hit them hard early | | | |

At the current rate; get 300 ahead by lunch and put them in. Hopefully they will be so demoralised, they will fold like a house of cards. |  |

Zac...my doubts about your test cricket ability has been blown out of the water. I'm so pleased. That was as good an innings as i've seen in many many years.
Congrats lad. |  |

Cummins captaincy erratic, not helped by Piggy Smith still thinking he's in the hot seat. Lovely stuff. | |

The overthrows just before Crawley got out seemed to generate a bit of anger between Cummins and Smith. Shame the wicket happened to stop it boiling over, they were a shambles at that point. | | | |
