da blaze casino： Time for Joe Root’s men to set aside their baggage and take on the old enemy once again
da bet7： Andrew Miller06-Dec-2021Until Covid struck, it was a long-standing tradition for British TV executives to dispatch a team of personalities down to Australia for the festive build-up, to perform daft tasks for the delectation of their armchair viewers, under the permanent gaze of the all-seeing TV eye.It soon transpired that English cricketers – well used to the strange combination of terror and boredom on their more conventional visits to Australia – were unusually well disposed to the dynamics of I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here. In its second season, way back in 2003, Phil Tufnell romped to victory through a combination of sardonic wit, enthusiastic bug-eating, and an ability to sleep his troubles away.Nearly 20 years later, it is as if England’s cricketers have been transported en masse back to that Queensland rainforest, given the extraordinarily soggy build-up to Wednesday’s first Test at the Gabba. But the conditions for this contest – for Joe Root’s men as well as their equally disorientated opponents – may have rather more in common with the plot from fumble too…All of these and more will be packaging up their memories – good, bad and distinctly ugly – and launching them into the maelstrom come Wednesday morning. The sport has been through the mill for all manner of reasons in recent months. But it would not be a newsworthy endeavour were it not for occasions such as these. The Ashes are back, but not as we know them. Settle into that armchair, and load up on the bushtucker. Because who knows where this one is headed.
