Is there a way to listen to Ashes via some streaming service for folks in US?

But is he wrong?!


Yes he is, absolutely wrong. We(England) are not great, but neither are the Aussies.Stokes is a massive blow if he does not tour(I think the ECB are about to announce he is not going because the police investigation is taking a long time)

We got world class players, but not many of them, the Aussies have about the same as us.

Australian bowling probably better than ours, our batting has more depth.

Could be close, I think thou to be honest, cook,root,Stoneman, and bairstow are going to have to score very heavy.

And Chris woakes needs a very good tour, he has it in him..... :)

^ Good! This could exonerate him! But please Benji, no more late outings during Ashes.

I feel there is a lot of exaggeration about England's weaknesses! Team Aus hasn't been that hot lately and it is certainly NOT the 2013 Aus team. I say England has a shot, with our w/out Stokes.

This may change things...

It could indeed. They have finally come forward, odd looking pair of blokes!. The Sun has this story and it was the Sun that published the video...I dunno, something  seems a bit odd can't quite put my finger on it.

KP is so supportive!

doesn't hold back does he, I agree with what he said but as a ex-player would not make my opinion public.
As for stokes, as an Aussie/cricket supporter I would love to see him available to play, when we beat you we want to know it's the best team England can put on the park.

I dont know how a pair of grateful gay blokes changes stokes actions. The timing makes it very obvious just how staged and coached the response will be. But again, this is all just part of massaging stokes through to the ashes. Ecb will have everyone from lawyers to pr working on this. See you soon stokes!

I’m not convinced by anything those two blokes have said. The whole bump and grind thing to say hello is ridiculous. The fact they just casually walk off to leave stokes defending their honour to go and get chips, the timing is all very convenient. The fact it happens to be the sun who have the exclusive again. I also refuse to believe that Ben Stokes can be described as “Fit” 😂

standard Gabba deck don't be fool with the slight tingle of green, it's fast with nice carry, if you get yourself in runs will flow.

Also found the article from the sun odd...lacking details about the incident itself yet they can remember Ben asking them where they were going.
Went for chips when they were about to get bottled hmm

If the article is correct it can only help Stokes protecting the innocents and all that as for getting the chips in the guys say themselves fights and fast food is  what they are used to all part of a night out in Bristol.
