I'm old enough to remember when Alec Stewart held the ball in his gloves for a few seconds before stumping Brian Lara. Weird that so many English fans seem to think the ball is dead once it's in there. #Ashes23 #ENGvsAUS facebook.com/watch/?v=26135…

I love the whole Bazball approach, but at a certain point you just start sounding like you're on drugs.

#Ashes23 #ENGvsAUS Former England skipper Andrew Strauss: I'm fine with it, dozy stuff from Bairstow. Former England skipper Mike Atherton: All good, poor cricket from Bairstow. Former England skipper Eion Morgan: Yeah same, fair play. England supporters: Obvious cheating!

Johnny Bairstow weirdly very pleased with himself (and Joe Root loving every minute of it) after holding the ball in order to stump a batsman who got lazy and thought the delivery was finished... #hypocrite #stayinyourcrease #Ashes23 #ENGvsAUS youtu.be/fVmiw2O_vsY?t=…

Bit of Shane Watson about the way Mitch Marsh plants that front foot...must be a chance of LBW if England can produce the right ball. #EngvAus #Ashes2023

You won't see a better century than that, coming in at 4/85 on the first day. Hats off to Mitch Marsh. Joe Root would be feeling a bit sick I'd imagine. #Ashes2023 #ENGvAUS

Great start to the morning for Australia, but think they need to get two more fairly quickly before this pitch dries out any more...already looking flatter. 263 not a lot of runs to play with, a couple of partnerships will still get England close. #ENGvAUS #Ashes2023

Did we not learn from the Stokes/Broad partnership last time? Set a proper field, just get them out the standard way with good length balls.

Australia obviously learnt from nearly losing the last test from an unlosable position...wait no they didn't, they're just bowling the same mid-pitch pies with no fielders in attacking positions. Brainless stuff, just bowl good length balls ffs. #ENGvAUS #Ashes2023

Val Holmes a moral to take an intercept from that NSW shift in the second half.

Memo to all Englishmen. #ENGvsAUS 👇

Glorious stuff. 😂 #ENGvAUS

Embarrassing stuff from Andrew Voss . Lot of people online today really trying to excuse a fairly clear cut send-off.

Insane amount of keyboard warriors on here saying Reece Walsh is 'a cat' after Wednesday night. Guy is just recently back from a facial fracture, and is still willing to put his body on the line in attacking plays where he knows he's going to be smashed. Has some ticker.

The amount of people on here today trying to say the Riki tackle was worse than the Suaalii tackle confirms to me that it's not in fact the refs that are the problem with this game... it's the fans. 😂

Can we talk about how the ref finally made Penrith play it on the mark *an hour in*, saying at that point "I've been telling you all game". Why didn't he *enforce it* earlier? Drinkwater spent 10 in the bin because he stood his ground at marker. #NRLPanthersCowboys
