Yeah that was a weird one - looked like he either didn't see it, or he expected it to come on harder and was surprised that it didn'tMurphy put down a c&b towards the end too but it didn't cost anything.

I was entertained tbf, so it was, in actuality, saving the game, if not himself.Just watched the replay. It was good of us to give up about 120 runs in dropped catches.
Decent nut by Starc too. Although the dismissal is less about him and more about the journey Stokes went on playing a non-results orientated shot.
Just like my favourite RTB post.I was entertained tbf, so it was, in actuality, saving the game, if not himself.
*Stokes just ****s his pants in the middle of the pitch, diarrhea running down his leg*
"Are you not entertained? We're saving test cricket!"
Not good enough. Should have been 7/45.Eng lost their last 7/99 or something, so cheer up
If Carey not drops yorkshire DynamoNot good enough. Should have been 7/45.
we can only hope. butngoing bybthis series.... root takes a couple of unlikely wickets. smith looks great then cops a miracle ball or throws it away, labu doesnt have his usual few chances dropped, head struggles against slow bouncers, and the rest conspire to collapse around mitch, if mitch manages to notbget out, and suddenly the 1st innings is even stevens and we start again.Australia have the best conditions, England with possible no full time spinner, carrying out of form Anderson, Wood down on speed, with 4 out of the top 10 ICC batting and an inform Marsh, having only lost Warner for his now normal score. One day to grind and bury England....
Best opportunity to win an Ashes away series.
Someone probably already posted the Simpsons meme where Andrew McDonald is scared of Candice Warner.There’s a definite pecking order in both squads that results in both not making changes irrespective of the logic for doing so
Nah I can't agree with this re Jimmy and got no opinion really with Warner.I thought Australia continuing to pick Warner was baffling but picking Anderson after the way he's performed this series is worse.
He still has less wickets this series than Tongue... despite bowling 79 more overs.
I'm fully expecting them to throw it away. It seems too much to expect this line up to fire and get the 150+ lead they should be capable of getting.we can only hope. butngoing bybthis series.... root takes a couple of unlikely wickets. smith looks great then cops a miracle ball or throws it away, labu doesnt have his usual few chances dropped, head struggles against slow bouncers, and the rest conspire to collapse around mitch, if mitch manages to notbget out, and suddenly the 1st innings is even stevens and we start again.
Man I remember Caddick’s first series in 93 and iirc his first Aus wicket was TOTAB caught and bowled too edging a pull shot in the second dig of the first test. He actually bowled pretty well that game but got no reward, then went wicketless in the famous “Waugh Fails” Lord’s test next up.Still a distance to grab the top spot from Caddick for an English series, I have faith in Anderson tho
That’s really good. Is there a website with all these memes?The Simpsons memes have been one of the highlights of the series for those of us who were Simpsons nuts back in the early 90s.

I remember thinking Illott and McCague might have decent test careers.Man I remember Caddick’s first series in 93 and iirc his first Aus wicket was TOTAB caught and bowled too edging a pull shot in the second dig of the first test.

Got to be honest, think I agree with this. Yesterday was pretty poor cricket all round. Aussies dropped loads but England kept on giving them opportunities. But it all looks set up now for the Aussies to get 450. Probably a reverse of last week with no weather coming to the aid of England (not that a draw helps anyway).Australia have the best conditions, England with possible no full time spinner, carrying out of form Anderson, Wood down on speed, with 4 out of the top 10 ICC batting and an inform Marsh, having only lost Warner for his now normal score.
