Re: Ashes
He really bowled a mid-leg googly over the maiden on a soft wicket, didn’t he?

Re: Ashes
Test match cricket is fucking awesome! Archer is terrifying by the way . Effortless speed and his bouncers are frightening. Would I go down the other end??? I'd rather go through the SD youtube back catalogue

I've not been glued, but I've been keeping an eye on it.
Smith has pretty much single-handedly carried the Aussies so far, and without him they'll really struggle. He's unbelievably lucky to even be walking, and an idiot not to be wearing a neck guard after what happened to Hughes.

Re: Ashes
How much I follow cricket - when I saw "Ashes" my first thought was cremations.
Is this not following the normal pattern of England going in as firm favourites then getting pasted then? I am sure they always won at the first ground (Edgbaston?) and still lost.

Re: Ashes
I remember being in Boston on business in 1998 when the World Cup was on. Although I wasn't interested, a colleague I was travelling with was. We managed to get away early one day to catch a game, and I was dragged to a Sports Bar. There were something like 76 TV screens, but none had the World Cup on them.
My mate asked the bar-man if he could find the appropriate channel, and made a flipant comment about the fact they seemed to be showing at least 3 baseball games. Bloke beside us at the bar grumped quite aggressively at us both "at least Baseball is better than Cricket". I turned to him and advised "Cricket is for fucking wankers mate". He didn't speak again. I then half-watched most of a kick-ball game. It was underwhelming.
