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..

In fairness, he could have played on twice and slashed over the slips which could have easily gone into one of their bucket handed players.
Just not many test openers that can play an innings like that. Guess there's always going to be an element of luck with his approach, great when it comes off and effin annoying when it doesn't. | | | |

Interesting see the change in pressure through the series. England ran their bowlers into the ground in the first couple of tests, where they bowled 23 and 18 no balls. That's fallen to 3 in the last two tests and Australia have already bowled seven this innings. There's a chance of Starc and Cummins being burned out for the decider, let's hope the Ashes are still up for grabs. |  | | |

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? |  |

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. |  |
