Can't fault Head for going the tonk on 170 with Australia leading by 396. Class innings. Now, Carey to rack up a ton and then declare. #Ashes

Oh, good. #Ashes hashtag's working for me today. Was on a 5-6hr delay yesterday.
Kudos to the #BarmyArmy singing, but Jerusalem is a weird song and choice for sport. Did a mythical figure visit England 1600 years before #cricket was a thing? 1000 years before England was a thing? Bizarre.

Josh Frydenburg is right now using the mass murder of 15 people to raise his own public profile again, presumably as a precursor to securing his political re-election and thus a potential run at a future Prime Ministership.
He is a total fucking grub.

In the wake of the Bondi tragedy should one have been surprised that Josh Frydenberg would opportunistically slither to the public megaphone - gaslighting the Australian public.
His outburst is offensive, divisive, and disingenuous.

Susssssan Ley and Josh Frydenberg are in a dead heat for political opportunism.
Frydenberg's righteous indignation is symptomatic of nothing more than his latest bid to overcome absolute political and public irrelevance. What a colossal twat. #Auspol

Matthew Hayden in #cricket commentary:
"They [Australian batters] can literally rip England's heart out."
Paging someone with a dictionary to the commentary box. Also, please bookmark the word 'obviously' which is also getting abused and missed as always. #Ashes #AUSvsENG

What started on 16 Dec 2024 as an #alcoholfree week spun out to twelve months.
15 more days then I toast 2026 with a couple of straight double vodkas. 🥳

Hint for Archer: when your team is only 9 runs away from a humiliating loss, that's probably NOT the time to start chirping the opposition. Just sayin's all. #Ashes

Taking a 20 minute break now - when they're unlikely to be out there for longer than that when they return - is utter, utter bullshit. #Ashes

Meanwhile, Warner is like the dorky younger brother who hangs around with the big boys and girls only because Mum and Dad says they have to include him. So he just bobs around in the background and flaps his gums with any old shite just to be seen and heard.

What I like most about Ricky Ponting as a commentator is you get terrific insight & preparation, but not the blokey bullshit that so often accompanies former champions turned media people. The focus is the game, not him, and he talks to, not down to the audience. #ashes

The sound you are now hearing is several million English fans doing their third hairpin bend turn on whether their team are dead set far king legends or miserable, pathetic losers.

I confess to being extremely nervous up until 13:20h AEDT today, and was going to post this GIF, but that was before England decided to self-implode.
