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?

I think I spoke too soon. Stokes is playing like a man possessed.

Cheating umpire. That was obviously out.

B grade umpires adjudicating the Ashes. What a disgrace.

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

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

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.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
