The Ashes 25/26

[RowlattsFox]

Brilliant. 

 

Now come on the tail - get it up to 300 at least to give us a chance. 

[Noahfence]

So so happy for him 

[Aus Fox]

I want a hot spot on that cable…

[trabuch]

Never seen that before!

[Aus Fox]

We’re well short here…

[trabuch]

Brooke's and Stokes' wickets looking very very costly now. 

[Lcfc-1992]

Just stay in, Root is at the other end 

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Another dismal display from the rest of them!

[RowlattsFox]

Pathetic. 

I'm sure the bowlers have been told do this but its they aren't good enough for it to come off. Especially against Starc.

If you want to have a bowl tonight, might as well just declare.

Need another 40 runs to make it a decent first innings doubt the last pair can make it.

[Basingstoke Fox]

It honestly feels like they've been saving their wildest and loosest swings for when Starc is bowling. It's nonsensical.

You would think that they'd just put some sort of a sensor on the cables.

It's a bit like when we had that series where they shit the bed with Mitchel Johnson.

 

Mixture of fantastic bowling at his pace coupled with English batsmen cacking it.

I’m too old school to enjoy watching this team …..

Steve Smith has to be the most unlikable sportsman in World sport.

Stokes wouldn’t be any different

Now at about a par score for this ground in these conditions. 

 

More would be a bonus.

possibly, but the aussies keep saying we cant bowl, bat or field so why not face it then. stick 40 / 50 on for no loss tonight puts a you in a winning position. 

 

 

[foxfanazer]

This is great

[trabuch]

I'm loving this

[Bert]

Really good day. Above the par score. 

[StanSP]

The tail wags! 

[Ted Maul]

Fantastic. 40 runs in 10 minutes after their delaying tactics. 

[Super_horns]

Fantastic finally a century in Australia  for Root.

 

Shame we have collapsed again though to some extent but handy runs from Archer .

Good to see Jofra getting into character before he bowls.
