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?

    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
