Remember all those games in his career Brendan McCullum dominated Australia? Or was it the other way round 🤔 just trying to remember. #Ashes

Stick a fork in ‘em, they’re done. 3-0, potentially 5-0 fuck off #Ashes

Are the barmy army out there still? Haven’t heard who they are, or where they come from… #Ashes

Love me some Head. #Ashes

Goddam, any danger of just putting them away? #Ashes

Same old Aussies, always sporting #Ashes

Fair play to Weatherald not reviewing to make things even for all that Snicko nonsense yesterday. #Ashes #AUSvENG

Crazy from weatherald but I thought this might happen after the snicko-Carey incident: Umpires gonna give England everything. Not giving Tongue out to Starc was the first sign #Ashes

Would throw Khawaja up top just for this innings, I think we need Head at 5 after the new ball is soft #Ashes

This test definitely has an all out for 130 vibe to it for the Aus second innings #Ashes

What’s stupid about that last wicket is England feel aggrieved but essentially got a free review #Ashes

This #Ashes getting null and voided for sure.

One of the biggest differences between the two sides is whilst both have a strike bowler the other team fears (Starc, Archer), Aus have Cummins, Boland & Lyon to back him up while England have 2s and 3s bowlers as support #Ashes

371 not looking too bad now huh? #Ashes

Albanese has I think showed very strong leadership in the wake of the Bondi massacre. Has not attempted to self aggrandise as others have, has stayed out of the gutter politicking by Ley and Frydenberg. Got on with tightening gun laws.

Any danger of fielding a settled side for once? #Ashes

Genuinely so far - Albo has met the monent. 94 seats (+ 10 teals/Greens) is why we get to ignore the shock jocks and Facebook memers in Australia. Always preference the lesser of two evils. #Auspol

One of the narratives I’ve enjoyed over the past few weeks is how any potentially good batting conditions can only favour England instead of Australia’s batters. Smith, Head, Marnus - famously awful when the pitch isn’t doing much #Ashes

The global party once Trump finally dies must last at least 3 weeks.

Australia had the ‘gold standard’ on gun control. The Bondi beach terror attack may force it to confront its surging number of weapons www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

What an ally. #Auspol

Horrific, disgusting, inexcusable, antisemitic

Puts a lot of pressure on Archer who essentially now needs to play all 5 tests #Ashes

Random day-after thoughts: I’m surprised there hasn’t been much chat on how this is the first Ashes series since 2005 that either Broad or Anderson haven’t played. I’m suuuper noticing them *not* there #Ashes

My new favourite genre of England pundit is the one that keeps repeating ‘this is not a strong Australian team’ in ever-increasing frustration. #Ashes 🏏

That’s 3 successive MOTM awards of Starc. Wonder what the record is? #Ashes

I know Neser got a 5for, but POTM is Carey for me #Ashes

Would’ve send Inglis out there just to see if he can nab a not out. Probably the only question mark over our batting lineup atm so could’ve answered another question #Ashes

All the years with the song on painful repeat during each Ashes test, and I still have no idea what lyrics come after “we are the arrrmy…” #Ashes

He doesn’t get spoken about as much but I’ve always thought Michael Neser belonged more in the Brad Hodge/Martin Love category than Scotty B. We’ve just never had any room for him #Ashes

Maybe an #Ashes winning catch that

I was old enough to remember when England fans picked Jamie Smith over Alex Carey #Ashes

This is obvious talk but Starc getting Player of the series yeah? #Ashes

Stormtroopers > Barmy Army. Sorry, don’t make the rules. #Ashes

Is the FIFA thing in part because he kept stealing teams’ trophies and they wanted to stop that from happening again?

The “gotta play a spinner” theory is taking a hit atm just quietly #Ashes

England might wanna throw this ball at the umpire soon too #Ashes

Probably say at this point batting on last night was the wrong call for England. Desperately needed us 2 down overnight #Ashes

The Archer v Smith battle will have more legs if he can finally get him out #Ashes

Same old England, never respecting the umpire enough to appeal directly Does the tune work with this? #Ashes

Not a bad pitch huh? #Ashes

Fair to say we’ve found our opener (1/2 at least) #Ashes

Smith should absolutely burn a review here #Ashes

Fair to say so far: Not playing Pat ❌ Not playing Lyon ❌ #Ashes

Strangely those 2 quick wickets seemed to have sorted England out - pretty much normal cricket being played ever since #Ashes

Get Trav on! #Ashes

The real question was should we have played 10 batters and Starc? #Ashes

6th ball? Sheez, had me worried there for a second Mitch. #Ashes

You know how long ago it was since the last #Ashes test? John Howard was still prime minister. Well, not really but goddam it’s felt long. But we back! Just in time for beer o’clock too 🍻🏏

Legend of a bloke, but times up. Tbh I think he’s gonna be (already is) super effective as an outside voice both in Cricket Aus & #Auspol #ashes
