Watching South Africa, that’s how to sensibly amass a big total. Brilliant

New Zealand for me has the best bowlers in the competition! I'll judge South Africa against a decent team!
That’s not true. We won tests 3 and 5. Had we won 4, we would have won the ashes back.
The trouble with the 3rd test was always going to be the weather in Manchester, The weather this summer has been very wet in the north, The way the Aussies played it they just moaned for bad light and slowed the game down, I think they were down to 11 overs an hour and was fined and docked points afterwards,
It was pretty much done and dusted after the first 2 tests for me because the weather was going to play its part
No fcker watching! Apparently sale of tickets only went on sale 6 weeks ago! Don't the World Cup tickets go on sale years before it?
The attendance looks about double the weekday matches combined. This is actually a decent turnout in the context of the competition. Not sure what the earlier Afghanistan Vs Bangladesh game was like.

You keep arguing using wrong information.The trouble with the 3rd test was always going to be the weather in Manchester, The weather this summer has been very wet in the north, The way the Aussies played it they just moaned for bad light and slowed the game down, I think they were down to 11 overs an hour and was fined and docked points afterwards,

The fourth test was at Old Trafford.
You can say it was done and dusted after 2 tests if you like, but it factually wasn’t.

your right about being the 4th test, I just gave up after the first 2 tests
It was over for many ? even pundits on both radio and tv said as much, I think the Aussies were shocking and their batting and bowling were poor for them in all the tests, But England just did not turn up or bottled it, the Aussies took the Bazball on and bounce us out in a afternoon and that change the series

I think you may have just ignored the rest of the series as you’d given up on the side. England should have won the first test too.
Think it’s sums up your support of the team rather than the actual side.

England fucked up in the first 2 tests big time, like it or not or shoulda woulda coulda the results said 2.0
I am a realist and say what I see and the ashes were over as a contest, England was never going to win 3 on the bounce because of the weather, All the Aussies had to do was slow the game down and wait,
The 4th test in Manchester was doomed to the weather and over for England with them retaining the ashes
