Seeing Ricky as a pundit makes me realise he's a much nicer bloke than he seemed as a player. I suppose it was just his competitive edge and my biases.
Who's the aboriginal? And why's she presenting on English TV. Ponting is great, and granted Morgan played for England - but bit odd that Sky have not a single English voice on an English cricket channel.
That goes for a lot of other Australian cricketers. We love to hate them as players, the love to love them as people when they retire. Just look at Warnie, the original pantomime villain, who then became a cherished personality later. I still can't come to terms with his passing, and we will never hear his commentary again.
This is why test cricket in England is so fascinating to watch. 2 days of flat batting conditions and then as soon as it is overcast, the pitch & the ball starts talking 🔥🔥🔥
Yeah but as a neutral, I'd feel like it's even more unfair. Let's be honest, Australia player for player are leagues above England. Warner vs Crawley Khawaja vs Duckett Labuschagne vs Pope On form Green over Stokes Lyon over... no one now. Etc etc etc So to have both teans bat on a relatively flat wicket (it obviously wasn't crazy flat because neither scared above 400 and if England had taken their chances Australia would've been around 315. So.. to then gift that great Australian team insanely bowler friendly conditions just ruins the game for me. At the best of times Ashes cricket is seeing if England can fend off a Great White Shark for a while.
I feel that Pat Cummins does not give Nathan Lyon the attacking field that he deserves(in fact Cummins sets defensive fields way too soon if a batsman even gets 1 or 2 boundaries.Lyon has 480+ test wickets for a reason and he should bowl with as many close fielders as possible and not allow easy singles.
Why isn't Ali's action classified as 'fingergate'. He should be stood down pending a full investigation into who authorized his cheating by spraying liquid sandpaper on his hands????

I’ve never heard any commentator who so accurately explains a game situation than Ponting. He’s as good a commentator as he was a player.
@@samsearle4433 Warne was a brilliant commentator. Used to despise Ponting, actually he’s a good pundit who i enjoy listening to

Ponting is a fantastic pundit been a top player. Even better when he keeps forgetting to say batter and says batsman. Good lad.
Such a good format. Really good stuff. 3 very knowledgeable and likeable hosts/participants.
Ricky is good I like watching him talk about the game.
Great listen. Excellent pundits and Jones corrals things very well.
Amazing bowling by Cummins & Boland i really wanted rain to stay away for another 45mins and results would have been different by the stumps today
Yes.............England would have been 80 for 2 instead.
@@scottfletcherr1457you mean England would have lost 80 wickets to score the next 2 runs.

It’s so easy for a batsman to not give a wicket to Lyon these days. He is a terrific bowler so mainly the on side singles needs to be stopped
Biggest test yet for bazball tomorrow
They will pass with flying colours, 400 lead by tomorrow, so much firepower in the England batting line up.
@@scottfletcherr1457 hope you're right 🙏
2 of my favorites 😎 greatest captains of all time ✌️
I love how all of England's greats aren't actually English....Morgan, Peterson, Greig, list goes on
I wouldn’t want Boland marrying my sister I know that much
😂😂😂😂😂
*would
Did they say it in podcast or it’s just u commenting that?
I don’t get it?
Ponting is the greatest !
Morgan's evil laugh 💀
If “Bazball” is about positive intent, why does England need a made to order pitch?
Exactly, no Bazball here - pitch ruined the game.
Ha Ha ..Eoin Morgan ........baiting a precious Punter....well done
Who is Mel Jones?
