Ironically I think todays rain was the catalyst to the result.If it hadn't been for the lovely Mancunian weather......
:-(
Great entertainment, but I don't think the cricket was as good as the entertainment, there's been some poor batting at times from both sides.What an unbelievable series!
Can’t imagine too many players have retired having got a wicket with their last ball bowled and hit a 6 with their last ball faced.
Agreed. Very little between the sides and both will leave the Oval rueful.A Desmond just about the right result. We settled into a decent groove when 2-0 down.
If my Auntie etc that declaration first test, Bairstow Butter gloves and the non availability of Wood and Woakes are the glaring differences between drawn series and retaining the Ashes.
