Pidge v Pigeon | Toyota Ashes Predictor
Glen Mcgra here. They call me pitch. This is an actual pigeon. He has spent a lot of time in the outfield and knows his cricket well. So he’s qualified to predict the outcome of the Ashes series. My call 5-nil to the Aussies. England to leave with crumbs. The first test in Perth, Australia to win. Now, Pigeon, what do you think? Shocking. I don’t think anyone saw that coming. Right. Second test. Pigeon. A day nighter in Brisbane with a pink ball. Pigeon, your call. Ah, come on, mate. What about the third test in Adelaide pigeon fair dinkham? Things are getting very interesting. 2-1. So fourth test Boxing Day test at the MCG. Well, the plot thickens, doesn’t it? Two all. So, who will take the decider? The fifth and final test, the pink test at the SCG. My favorite. Where did we find this guy? We need a result. Bloody pigeon. Pigeon. At least your 3-2 had more drama than my 5-nil whitewash. The 74th edition of the Ashes is about to get underway. You’ve got our predictions. What are yours? Grab a cuppper and settle in for a great summer of cricket down under.
In the build-up to the Ashes, Glenn ‘Pidge’ McGrath, a six-time Ashes winner, makes his usual emphatic prediction of a 5-0 series win for Australia. That’s now been challenged by the pigeon, introduced as an “outfield specialist”, in its own forecast from Worcestershire County Cricket Ground, McGrath’s former English club.
