Th'Ashes Down Under 12:32 - Nov 13 with 36834 viewsD_Alien

So, the single-game build up to the First Test starts, with an England XI taking on England Lions (shadow squad)

To give a flavour of where we're at (or where Stokes says we're at)...

Jacks' is having a fantastic tournament. That is his fourth man of the match award. From 2 for 2 that is some win.

Hopefully Buttler will find some form soon. We are likely to play India in the semis, assuming they beat the West Indies, which on current form is no forgone conclusion.

South Africa are the stand out team this year, got all bases covered. Team to beat.

Watched Ngidi death bowling and could only dream of our quickies having his skills.

England seem to have found the game to fit their brand of sugar rush cricket.

Finn Allen take a bow. Then take another one. And a third.

33 ball 100no to smash SA into the Antartic, fantastic effort.

I thought NZ were about 20 runs under par. Turns out that they were about 70 runs under!! Amazing effort and the fastest t20 century between 2 test ranked countries.

Looking forward to the England game tomorrow, and hopefully a better performance than the last World Cup semi 2 years ago when India hammered us in Guyana. Buttler and Salt getting in the groove for the first time would help significantly to back up the middle order.

What a game. Lost by 7 runs, with 499 runs in the day. The dropped catch by Brook unfortunately was the critical moment.

Poor Bethell. Great innings which should have been game winning. The drop cost 74 runs in 35 balls.

Brook dropping Samson. He might have a case to answer in the follow up enquiry.
