Fucking hell Fordy, they have the top 3 batsmen in the world test rankings, they have Stark and Cummins who are world class and they have an excellent cheating **** wicket keeper, they are also the top ranked team in test cricket and just became world test champions. They have had a bad day but “worst aussie side for decades” is a ludicrous comment

I don't think they've looked particularly world class in this series, the batsmen that is. Starc and Cummins are good but wouldn't swap for Broad and Anderson

When a player or team in any sport has a long, 5-10 year plus record of being absolutely world class, the best of the best - you don't say "Oh I guess this lot are actually shit" when someone plays well against them.

But we have bowled well that’s the point. Look at the stats of Smith, Labuschagne and Head for the last year or two - the fact is that we have bowled well at them. Starc and Cummins are class bowlers (as much as I hate the cunts)

Definitely, I think we're looking at an innings victory here weather permitting

I mean throughout the series , there have been so many knee jerk comments , I've been tearing my hair out lol ( what's left of it ) you said those are the only players out of the list that have performed, but rather than them being the worst Australian team ( stats and achievements prove otherwise ) England have planned ans executed their plans fairly well to even be in a shout of winning the ashes still, and could be argued that we already should have won them

I actually think more and more that we've got to be looking at that at this point. We may not get the opportunity to bat again. Hopefully, bat right through tomorrow, get a huge score, and then hope that the weather will allow us to bowl them out again.

I thought we'd win 3-2 after we won the third test. That unsporting behaviour from the aussies has riled England, and we're going for the jugular now
 
Atmosphere is bobbins considering the display. Edgebaston and Headingley were miles better.

The wicket isn't going to get any easier to bat on , for sure make hay whilst we can and then hope for the best
