The Ashes are back and it's gonna be a wild ride! 
I'm stoked to see the BBC covering it all - can't wait for those daily highlights on iPlayer 
. And who doesn't love TMS? Those legends, Phil and Alex, will bring the expertise 
. Let's get ready for some serious cricket action! 
. Always love how the BBC covers it so comprehensively - I mean, who needs anything else when you've got ball-by-ball commentary? 
. And with all the extra content like podcasts and highlight reels, I'm sure there's something for everyone. Can't wait to see how England stacks up against Australia this time around 
.
Oh man, just saw that there's going to be a ton of stress for cricket fans with all these updates and podcasts 
They're gonna need strong coffee and comfy seats for the whole series 
And don't even get me started on how expensive it is gonna be to watch the live commentary and highlights 
It's like a whole new world out there... but I'm not complaining! 
Still love the excitement of watching those cricketers battle it out on the pitch though 
. The BBC always does a great job with their coverage, so fingers crossed for an epic series this year 
!
man I'm so hyped for the 2025 Ashes series! 
it's gonna be epic with all those live updates and commentary options - can't wait to catch every ball-by-ball highlight reel 
on iPlayer, BBC Sounds, and the app. but at the same time, gotta say, cricket just ain't what it used to be... 
like, remember when Test matches were this super long drawn out affair that'd keep you on the edge of your seat for days? 
and im so stoked to watch all the action unfold! i mean, who doesn't love a good cricket match? 
it sounds like there's loads of coverage lined up, from live commentary to highlights and podcasts... can't wait for phil tufnell and alex hartley to dish out their analysis after each test 
. Think about it, we're all glued to our screens waiting for that perfect Ashes match commentary, and meanwhile, the government's trying to convince us their latest tax cuts will magically solve our economic problems 
. It's like they think we're not paying attention! The truth is, while we're watching cricketers run around on the pitch, the real game of politics is being played out behind closed doors 
. We need to wake up and demand more transparency from our leaders – that's the only way we'll ever see meaningful change 
It's like they're trying to out-do each other with their fancy brand partnerships. Meanwhile, our public servants are struggling to keep up with the latest tech advancements. When will we see some real innovation in sports broadcasting? Maybe that's what this Ashes series really needs – a bit of transparency around those sponsorship deals and how they affect the game itself 
. Like, who gets excited about a bunch of guys hitting a ball with a stick? The fact that they're playing for like 5 days straight sounds super grueling too... poor bums! Perth to Sydney, huh? What's the point of going all the way from one end of Australia to the other just to play some cricket? Not buying it 
. And don't even get me started on the commentary team... Chief cricket commentator Jonathan Agnew? Sounds like a real thrilling name 
. Anyway, guess I'll be stuck watching these highlights and updates on iPlayer, what a snooze-fest 
Ashes 2025 is coming & I cant wait to watch the matches! 
Perth is gonna be crazy for the first Test but Sydney will be fire for the last one 
But at the same time, with so many options available, do we lose that sense of community and shared experience? Like, are people still going to gather around the TV or radio to watch the match together? Or is everyone too busy scrolling through their phones to care? 
. I'm thinking of catching some of the TMS podcast episodes, heard Phil Tufnell and Alex Hartley are always good for a laugh 
! im so hyped to watch the cricket matches in perth and sydney 
. also, phil tufnell and alex hartley are gonna be discussing all the key moments after each match 
james anderson's podcast tho is def gonna b a must listen lol
