The Ashes (Australia tour of England)

[LiveLoveABD]

England's best batsman's highest score (total of 325 runs @ 32.5) is lower than Australia's best batsman's lowest score and the Ashes is happening in England!

Let that sink in!

Is it just me or is the slip catching much worse than in 2015

 

[Ed Smith]

Watching on what I think is an American stream at work, there's a break every over. Just one advert, every 6 balls...

 

[Willoughby63]

Just saw an interesting stat on Sky, Denly averages 15 in the first innings and 41 in the second innings in tests

 

[A.P Haux]

Joe Denly. Redeeming himself in the second innings since 1926.

So a 50 for Bairstow and that will be six of the top seven nailed down for the winter.

 

[Dutch]

This whole series has had more England “ifs” than the whole history of English semifinal penalty shootouts.....

 

[blockerdave]

If Denners gets a ton, how long do you think it'll be before they cut to a pic of that smug idiot Smith in his stupid glasses basking in his "triumph"?

How exciting

 

[Willoughby63]

How exciting

Don’t worry. We’re only playing two tests in New Zealand so no chance to improve our horrific batting lineup , but we get to play 5 T20s, a format where we are perfectly fine.

Reckon England have got this one in the bag. There's high probability that Australia will struggle to score 375+ in the 4th innings. With 2 full days to go, there is a result in store for sure.

As things stand, I would say 65-35 in favour of England.

 

[wasteyouryouth]

Fancy a Steve Smith golden duck in the second innings. But a 100-run partnership for Hazlewood and Lyon to give Australia an unlikely victory.

Yeah with the main ones being what if Jimmy hadn't got injured,what if Leach hadn't overstepped and what if Curran came into the team earlier.

They are all very valid and could well have affected the final outcome in the end

 

[Dutch]

Some amazing catches!

Yeah but all fans of losing teams say this at end of series , isn’t that right @asprin (4-1 etc etc )
