A frustrating afternoon at Old Trafford where we need 8 more wickets to win but perplexingly keep persisting with 2 spinners who are doing fuck all

That might wake the crowd up

Winning The Ashes is bigger than anything else in test cricket for both England and the Aussies
They did the hard yards in the first 2 tests and controlled the series, Look England even under Bazball would do the same in this last test if we were 2.1 up, It's sport and competition and you should never take liberties like England did early doors, Only ourselves to blame sadly

Don't try and kid us mate - you'd be slagging England off for this approach if we were in the same position as Australia are at the moment with the Ashes retained and us 2-1 up in the series!

So happy for Jimmy, I hope he can take a few more in this test and get his 700. A long time before a test in England again after this though and I doubt he'll be part of any travelling squads.

Institutional racism is here to stay. Breaks my heart

Vaughan asked a question on TMS this morning. What is the bigger risk Bazball or Snoozeball?
Even if the Aussies went at their normal scoring rate they'd be approaching 250 by now. Hopefully this negativity bites them on the arse.

What's the point of deducting points from the Blast when it finished 2 weeks ago? Or is the deduction from next season?

No they've deducted it from the final table of this season, that'll show them.

71-5 in this session the convicts. Still 97 runs behind and a tea break for us to refresh with 5 overs before the new ball. Hopefully can bowl them out 50 behind.

Nice to see the Aussies throwing away their wickets for once. Which is not to underestimate our bowling and fielding at this point.
Wary of Cummins. The bugger's capable of digging in, and let Smith carry on scoring.

 

[MCFC1993]

All of this just to be out for 210-220 but the end of day 2. Hardly a solid plan from the Aussies.

This series really was an opportunity missed for England.

Edit: Of course we let the tail get some momentum!

Makes the 1st innings declaration in first test even more senseless:-(

That will be a moment people often come back to, but for me it wasn't why we lost the test. Poor fielding cost us.

 

[domalino]

So much drama around something so basic as if the ball or glove hits the stump first.

 

[domalino]

That'll get Broady all pumped up just before the new ball.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Yet another fuck up from Bairstow. He’s just not a keeper.

Correct decision though
