Ashes 2017/18

2nd new ball has been taken Malan out 14,Bairstow at the crease,off the mark with a 3,Cook 132 no.Score249/4wkts.
 
Same old Aussies always cheating, and very poor from the umpires. No way it could be given out 100% the fielder himself said he wasn't sure but Smith brushed away his comments. The umpires should have asked the fielder like the good old days any doubt goes to the batter, go upstairs and if it's proved it's out then ok
 
Moen walking off, was getting dogs abuse from the Aussies ,lol
Dont think they enjoyed him slashing around, dont need to be an expert lip reader to see Hazlewood calling him a "fkin wanker" repeatedly
 
Taking nothing away from the effort in this match but

Ashes up for grabs - Aussies show up
Ashes lost - England show up

Mentality has to change if we intend to take test cricket seriously. If as a body the ECB have decided we don’t want to then we are doing ok

Think that's harsh tbh, very easy to succumb to a 5-0 whitewash once it got to 3-0, took some balls to fight back

Only Cook and Broad showed up the rest were as you were throwing there wickets away.

Aye, but at least some had the balls to stand up and fight back. Given how it went last time we were down there for Cook and Broad in particular, it was good to see from them

It was and as individuals they showed there mental strength to say I’m sticking around for years to come but that pitch was slower pity we didn’t have a pitch like that earlier in the series.
 
why did it take so long and losing the ashes before players show up and give it a go ?????? yes cook played very well but i think its about 5 years to late broad again about 4 years to late is just not good enough to show it now its smells of you should have been doing my way and not roots way of being captain and now look what i can do

the 4th test is still in the balance for me the draw is fav but i would not but it past england to get tonk around on day 4 and they they score quick and big runs and give england a carrot to chase on the last day anything over 170 to 250 england would fancy it and that could be the door opening for them and the wicket is getting slower and flat
