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.

  • Quote

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
