Title: Ashes Stream
Post by: Mike_F on July 08, 2015, 10:55:30 am
There's no way I'm forking out £25 for Sky Sports (robbing gits). Does anyone know of a video stream to watch the ashes? I can play it through the laptop & connect to the TV with TMS on through my phone so it doesn't have to be Englush commentary. Cheers.

If you use certain browsers and can choose your country of origin then choose Australia and it's free to air.

Just warching the ashes test, why has Nathan Lyon got about three bottles of sun block all over his face? Anyone would think he was fielding on the equator, not Cardiff!

You can't watch it online in australia without paying, Moses. Certainly not on any legal site anyway.

Well in a perverse sort of way, i'd be mighty pi$$ed of if i'd paid good money to sit through that first days play

Preparing a wicket to nulify the pace of Johnson & Starc can backfire Gents......

Yep, watched the afternoon and Evening session and bored to death, this match should end in a draw if we get a decent first innings total

Well, England have certainly reverted to type today, aussie accumulated runs for fun on the flates of pitches, England are 64-7. And on the brink of a humiliation!

103 all out, Aussies win by 405 runs in 4 days, pathetic!

Absolutely pathetic. Demonstrable of a serious lack of mental strength to come out and capitulate like that.

That run out of Stokes was Schoolboy stuff, inexcusable and unacceptable

Alex would have been sacked from his team if he was ever run out like that. Stokes was completely unprofessional. He should be docked his match fee. All of it.

Two very evenly matched sides. Both flaky in batting. The Aussie top order is better, our middle order is superior. Nothing much to choose between the bowlers, but it is clear that ours need some assistance from the pitch.

Unless a match is virtually wiped out by the weather it will be 3-2 one way or the other. For me, England's best chance is at Trent Bridge. Difficult without Anderson though.
