Absolutely pointless T20 World Cup final again, normal Indian monopoly ruling over the world of cricket, one challenging pitch and the USA give them the scare of their life to its flat pitches and boring cricket for the rest of the tournament, boring and pointless 👍

Brendon McCullum, Rob Key and anyone else who was involved in the decision to force Jimmy Anderson into early retirement just to serve up this tripe should be removed the second this series is done.

Doesn’t sound like a guy who is being put under pressure by the “way we want to play” does he?
Scott Boland on England... "England always play their shots and I felt if we put the balls in the right areas we would get chances." Simple really. England so soft.

They’ve learnt nothing from Perth. Driving on the up again. What’s the coach doing? Ah, I forgot, he’s not a technique coach. #Ashes2025 #AUSvsENG

I’m old enough to remember when Josh Tongue kept bowling out India’s lower order. #Ashes2025

Feels like now is the perfect time for Smith to try a few ramps and put some pressure back on the bowlers

England said before the game they'd get better at identifying the key moments. Back comes Mitchell Starc, with the floodlights on, and Brook has a wild drive at his second ball. England 176 for 4.

Australians have to be some of the softest whinging folk on earth

The frustrating thing about England is that the talent is there. But they refuse to learn any lessons or adapt their method when required. And they continue to piss away strong positions.

Australia 14 England 4 Can’t fault England’s effort … They brought plenty of energy, physicality and passion to the contest … They just lack the finesse … Short on creativity and a genuine attacking plan to trouble the Australian defensive line … Australia weren’t
