*Official* 2nd Test (Brisbane) 4-8 December

[Molehill]

This whole mess started because Green Brook was an absolute numpty.

Number 5's trying to outdo each other.

 

[Burgey]

It’s like they have RFK Jr’s brain worms

Trust me, I've seen how England and South Africa have went last four series

The last four series you played 3 against a poor SA and one were the SA side was on the way down and had just comeback from a massive shock in India. That series was won by one of those broad special spells.

This is a different SA side and different England side.

 

[Gnske]

The most depressing lead ever

Yeah the last four series also had a poor England side and this team is ofc much better. But we'll see in 2026

They did the same thing in the last game going for the series clean sweep in everything against the Windies away from home as well.

Not many runs left,could've polished the rest by just working it around here & there but swung for the fences and lost needless wickets as well before finally winning.

In a tight mid scoring game buying your wickets at nearly 7 an over is criminal. Ridiculous. Bazballian

Ninth consecutive Ashes Test at the Gabba where Australia have taken a first-innings lead.

 

[Coronis]

Apparently Carse reaching his ton is the quickest by an English pacer in terms of ball bowled.

Don't know how reliable that is.

I would say yes.

 

[vicleggie]

Great line by Stokes

 

[Burgey]

Stokes needs the pickle juice

 

[mr_mister]

It’s a bloke splatting a length ball over mid wicket like he’s never played cricket before. Which in a way is sort of the forerunner of all modern cricket, yes.

I knew this man who was the oldest SCG member(there's an article out there about him on google) attended bodyline as a child, he said Gilchrist hit the ball harder than anyone he'd ever seen

 

[manoftommorow]

Stokes is always acting like he’s hurt just to mess with you.

Ninth consecutive Ashes Test at the Gabba where Australia have taken a first-innings lead.

And the last time England took a first-innings lead at the Gabba (90/91), they lost the match in 3 days by 10 wickets!

 

[vicleggie]

I would say yes.

Glad I still hold that record

Just saw a stat saying no wickets have been taken by English born bowlers all series

Closest one is Inglis’ runout

How woke of him
