I don't want the series to stay alive so my care factor for us winning this match is through the roof! 

To be honest If we don't win this test match I will be filthy.  The cat,  walls & tv aren't safe!

 

Well we are favourites again now.....

    So often 1 wicket brings another wicket ... and the bookies know all that of course.

    Lyon will probably stay on at one end you'd reckon. 

    Run out!

    Yep Stokes call and he called yes after hitting it straight to a fielder.....big mistake.

    I liked the ABC Live Blog description of the run out. "BUTTLER'S RUN OUT!!!! Stokes absolutely barbecued him!!!!!"

    The replay is not flattering. Hope he feels the guilt.

    I really like listening to Warne, he reads the game so well. Often he predicts the strategy, fielding positions, tactics and often knows what happening before the players do. Its also great to hear Micheal Holding really takes you back.

    Clever catch by Head. Knew exactly what to do there. Well done. Archer was getting annoying hitting those fours.

    One to go. Stokes has a haunted look on his face. Did he just let the Ashes slip through his fingers?

    Not sure i would bring Lyon on here....but what do you do?

    Cheating umpire. That was obviously out.

    B grade umpires adjudicating the Ashes. What a disgrace.

    Can't watch it 

     

    Now we'll have to put up with bloody gloating Poms

    That was the most incredible innings and incredible game. Speechless.

    1-1 2 tests to go. Bring it on.

  • Quote

    That was the greatest choke ever.

    How do you lose from that position?  Why review an LBW when the ball is a foot outside off?

    Cummins & Paine panicked.  And Lyon?  Massive Epic fail

    Credit to England and Stokes was sensational. But we gave it to them.

    Stokes bullied us and we had no answers.  Paine's field placings were all over the place.

    Yes but Pain threw the review away, that was crazy. It was miles outside the leg stump. You may as well say well we dont want that review. I just cant understand it.

    Seriously professional umpire should be able to see the bleeding obvious. Yes we choked, we stuffed up royal, but still,  so did the umpire as that was just plum even on the tv. Just awful all round.

    Yep, stupid stupid thing to do. Gave his resolve away.

    Stokes was incredible and determined. Had the luck and the crowd on his side. Leach had no clue, but tried hard as he could. Lyon could have run him out but took his eye off the ball. We definitely lost it.

    Greatest successful run chase in the history of the game.

    It's bad enough watching our football team continually choke in front of goal and now the cricket team follow suit.  Lose from an unloseable position.

    We won't recover from this ... Archer will tear us a new one.  3-1 to the Poms. 

    70+ for the last wicket.  We bowled poorly and we bowled pies.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
