The Ashes 25/26

Bollocks

Brook and Stokes both completely brainless 

[Aus Fox]

We’re as fragile as Leicester when things start going against us.

[StanSP]

Now you just have to hope Root has enough company to at least try and see him through to 100...

[goose2010]

that is a peach of a delivery to be fair, the Stokes wicket is even worse now. 

 

Got to get up to 280 ish to have a chance

[Ted Maul]

Really frustrating, because we've largely applied ourselves well today (Brook aside). Done the hard work and batted through the tough spells. 

[SickoDicko]

Root's gonna be stranded on 90 something not out here 

[Foxdiamond]

Same old

Yes - I'm not blaming Smith for geting out to that early on. The run out was suicidal and pretty unforgivable. We were on top in this passage of play and Stokes has just handed them the initiative.

Captain and white ball captain. Says it all.

absolutely, very frustrating. 

[Aus Fox]

Series defining moment here… A Root century, and the monkey off his back and he could go on and dominate this series. If he goes before the ton, it’s in his head and I don’t think he can kick on.

[Ted Maul]

This does almost feel a bit now or never for Root in Aus- massive psychological burden if he falls short. 

[goose2010]

another stupid wicket. Just leave them! you have 4 days left! 

[StanSP]

Jacks goes. Got suckered in to Starc's wide ball ploy. 

 

Get Root on strike! 

[AKCJ]

Felt like Jacks was too nervous about getting Root to his 100. Played well but then shit it.

[Ted Maul]

Our batsmen just do not heed their own warnings, do they?

[RowlattsFox]

Starc must be laughing. Just bowl wide and wait for them to knick it   So easy for him.

[Tommy Fresh]

Bloody finally, how nervy was that

[Aus Fox]

Get in!!! RoooooooooooooooooT!

[trabuch]

[StanSP]

Finally! ROOOOT! 

 

Legend. So glad he's broken that duck. 

[foxfanazer]

Good lad Root!

[Bert]

The goat. Never doubt him. He’s done it all now. But more importantly what an innings to hold this test together for us. 

[Zear0]

Is a bit like Kane winning a trophy.  More happy that I don't need to hear about it anymore.  GG Root!
