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..... 1 Quote

Dame Gaga 2,453 Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 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. 1 1 Quote
Wadda We Sing 10,685 Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 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. 1 Quote
Wadda We Sing 10,685 Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 Mmmmmm....and que the one day match Quote
Dame Gaga 2,453 Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 Clever catch by Head. Knew exactly what to do there. Well done. Archer was getting annoying hitting those fours. 2 Quote

Dame Gaga 2,453 Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 One to go. Stokes has a haunted look on his face. Did he just let the Ashes slip through his fingers? 1 Quote

Wadda We Sing 10,685 Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 Not sure i would bring Lyon on here....but what do you do? Quote
Dame Gaga 2,453 Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 Cheating umpire. That was obviously out. Quote
Dame Gaga 2,453 Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 B grade umpires adjudicating the Ashes. What a disgrace. Quote
Jara 1,153 Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 Can't watch it Now we'll have to put up with bloody gloating Poms Quote
Diamond_Jim 12,779 Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 well that was a bit of a let down 1 Quote
Wadda We Sing 10,685 Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 That was the most incredible innings and incredible game. Speechless. 1-1 2 tests to go. Bring it on. Quote
Macca 17,132 Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 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. 1 Quote

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. 1 Quote

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. Quote
Macca 17,132 Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) 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.
