I still think there's a lot of runs in this wicket if you get in. It was really apparent after about 20 overs the ball softened up a lot, that's when Head & Green put on their 40 in no time at all. England got through because they had Stokes to bring on with something different - Australia don't have the depth of bowling attack in this game to replicate that.

Of course we are but we all know things can flip back round quickly. I remember being in a pub in Prague in 2005 on the opening day of the first test and Australia being 5 down for 80-odd. They ended up 190 all out but I was thinking that was a great start for us....until we got skittled in our innings and went on to lose the test heavily! Turned out ok by the end of the series though ;)

To think they were saying it was a 400 pitch when we were losing all those wickets earlier. Assuming they don't put shit loads on for the last wicket, we can't even muster close to that with both totals added together!

Suppose we could always score 400 in the second innings though ;)
 
I give up on trying to predict the outcome. Anything is possible, from shabby batting to outstanding bowling
It went from 172 all out in 32.5 overs to the ashes being over with the same old same old story, I said in the week leading up to the ashes somebody from england has to get hold of the game and stand up, Ben Stokes just did that and got england back in the game

Tomorrow I am just going to listen and relax and just let it happen, Come on England
