Channel seven and the ACB will take a massive financial hit with this test only going two days

Yes and WA cricket and Fox Sports….
Imagine being a pommie supporter and coming over for just this first test….
Disgraceful Test Cricket from them both at times.
Mitch Starc MOM by a country mile.

Channel seven and the ACB will take a massive financial hit with this test only going two days

Its been very difficult to get tickets this year. Ive a theory that CA have sold more tickets/packages than normal at a hugely inflated price to the English to cover the losses from the short tests due to their useless cricket team.

WHAT A WIN !
STARC & HEAD WOW
Ps Stuart Broad our worst team in 15 years just beat your team by 8 wickets in
2 days
No Cummins No Hazo
Uzzie and Lyon were basically passengers
Heads innings one of the greatest innings EVER

Poms might have done well actually bowling at the stumps to Head lol

It’s a shame Fox saw a future for Warner as a commentator.

Some absolutely horrible shots played from both teams...one armed baseball slogs, nil footwork, both feet in the air
I think the commentary is blowing a lotta smoke re Heads century....it was crucial in the context of the game but its no surprise he was caught skying one
Good win for the Aussies when it looked pretty dire at certain stages...quite a rollercoster this one

You’re a dinosaur like me old fella (although I’m sure I’m much younger). It ain’t test cricket like we knew it. I don’t think the game will ever be what we knew it as again. Still you can only win what you play, and we did.
I always hark back to Waugh’s, Ponting, Mcgraths and the King. Day 5 and the King spinning ( and sledging) for the win. Something those of my era were blessed to see. It was great while it lasted, but it’s just a memory now.

So sad what’s happened to Test cricket, T20 has bred an entire generation who only care about hitting boundaries for their highlight reels. Look at Sam Konstas. Playing ramp shots in the first over on Boxing Day. I feel like the disrespect for Test cricket is only going to grow more and more. The art form is dying.

I can't remember us ever winning a test against the Poms at home in 2 days!

Shortest ashes match since 1888, idk how old some people are in here but doubt anyone watched that game
