The Ashes 2017/2018

LOL.

Starc pops one straight up off Anderson, Anderson comes tearing down the pitch and dives for it landing in the footmarks, slides through the footmarks/hardest part of the pitch and rips his strides a apart. Drops the catch and just touched on his right hamstring, must have grazed it.

starc gone 9/128

[stampy]

starc didnt need to do that, we aint 450 in front ffs...

Will Smith's decision not to enforce the follow-on go down as the biggest blunder in Ashes cricket
It is heading that way. We given suckers an even break!!!

If the Poms don't make it, history books will always show 3 ordinary innings after a good 1st innings, so either way there will likely be some baggage for one (or both) of the skippers.

354 for England to win.

[am Bays]

Test is far from over IMO, reckon anything under 350 England will have a fair chance of chasing down. Root and Cook both due and they bat down to 9 as well

Yup

Whilst I'd rather be in our shoes, 354 is very gettable on this pitch (drop ins don't deteriorate and with the rain is still only a day 3 pitch in effect)

Hope I'm wrong, though.

Cook is the key here.
Get him out early and the game is over.

****

[amber_fluid]

They appealed so confidently then don't review it?

WTF

[Senor Moto Gadili]

Does Steve Smith get a share of the Day 5 gate. Didn't enforce the follow on, not using DRS. I thought Joe Root erred when he dobbed in the Aussies, but Smith is not having a good time of it either.

[Grenville]

Hehehe show us ya DRS Smithy.

[amber_fluid]

Why wouldn't he review it?
It's what it was brought in for.
If he **** up he has another chance

[locky801]

Swing, what swing, huge start here by England

[Senor Moto Gadili]

Poms trying to get them before it gets dark

Good move, if they can score 150 this session the brown stains will get thicker in the Aussie camp. Starc already arguing out there

WTF Has he backed the poms. Making plenty of dumb decisions. Stop giving suckers an even break FGS

[Jim05]

Good review. Cook LBW to Lyon

[locky801]

Pretty tame right now, Root is a big wicket they need quickly

Geoffrey Boycott has just launched Vince.

Looked an impulsive review - Smith gives the impression of being pretty on edge
