We're due to win a toss, so batting first at the WACA whilst has its challenges, would be a good one the get on the front foot with.

Has anyone checked on Hawkesy, he has gone very quiet.
Maybe he is just tired from a big week.

Not much to say on the game. We only turned up for 4 sessions but at least we took it to the last day and had a chance to still win it.

I enjoyed my two days in the box, but as much as the day/night pink ball has been a huge success, I still reckon I like the day game format better.

Did you see the 3 Millwall flags in the ground on saturday. One of them even brought out by a bloke in a corporate box.Bomber wrote:I enjoyed my two days in the box, but as much as the day/night pink ball has been a huge success, I still reckon I like the day game format better.

Another English cricketer in trouble Ben Duckett suspended by English Team Officials pending an investigation into incident in Perth Bar . Not a good look with the team down 2-0.

Saw lots of flags but couldn't always read them as people were standing obscuring them, but I figured there'd be a few Millwall ones there.God is an Englishman wrote:Did you see the 3 Millwall flags in the ground on saturday.

Re: The Ashes - 2017/2018
Have been out and about most of the weekend - all I heard was one of the team poured a lager over Anderson's head. If he didn't care, ie it was in jest, what's all the fuss? Sounds like a few young blokes letting off a bit of steam (unless there is more to the story of course)ozzie owl wrote:Curfew in then curfew out and now curfew in again , maybe an RBT at the hotel next.MegaBonus wrote:poms providing more entertainment off the field rather than on it...if their team was a movie, not sure if they'd be a horror or a comedy....

Loved the ginger's celebration and it obviously meant a lot. Made me think the rumours about the disgusting aussie comments may be true.

Re: The Ashes - 2017/2018
England showing in this series that they can match it with the aussies but not over all 5 days. As soon as they have a good day they follow it with a bad one.
We seriously miss Stokes in the bowling line up and fo shorten that tail.
