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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
