Guys is this a crazy stat the last ashes series Australia won against England in England was 2001

It’s great but I also remember England not winning in Australia from 1986 to 2010

away wins are so difficult these days for some reason

Usman really couldn't have asked for a better deck than this to start the ashes. Basically tailor made for him.

I punched sobers lights out .

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Anderson and Broad were 2 of the guys he shot at the most and they're still there

Yeah, they are all good guys now though.

Lying tit.

Khwaja's pulls are so beautiful. This guy is like David Gower in his languid elegance.

I can see your point but Gower was the most elegant player ever for me

and by the way @thierry henry , Gower punched my lights out

 

[TheJediBrah]

I'm sure he's picked up a few beasts late in the evening, we all have

 

[CartyDurham]

just away wins? England didn't beat Australia anywhere from 1986 to 2005 brah

Correct. and I endured the pain every damn session

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Everyone talk about Root in all social media
but its took him Long long time to hit 100
last time he hits hundred in 2015 vs Aus in Ashes

Well we would win the Oval test after we had been spanked in the series and the press would make out it was an achievement

 

[OverratedSanity]

Could be defending a much lower score if Foakes plays though. He certainly doesn’t play the innings Bairstow did

Hmm, I'm not sure most people are asking for bairstow to be dropped though, he's been insanely good with the bat. Just it'd be better if they found a way to include both in the team. Not sure who they'd drop though. Pope would've been a candidate but he's done OK recently.

Crawley should have been dropped to accommodate bairstow and foakes .

[SillyCowCorner1]

Too many runs given by Ali

It doesn’t matter. They are looking for wickets
