Yeah it blows mate when you’re so invested in a series. It stings for sure.I still have nightmares over the basic errors made at Edgbaston,particularly the Bairstow missed stumping,dropped catches and then Broad had to go and take a wicket on no ball.
Can see us being beat 3-1 now Ashes have gone which quite honestly is deserved for the early sloppy performances. Quite honestly I just wish this last test would come and go quickly as possible. The pain is so raw only a few days later.
Oh mate, I’m sorry to say it has free wifi the whole way.A more thorough argument than most of your dirge tbf.

But Australia don't need to win the last test, a rained out draw and Australia win the AshesRe the last test
when was the last time Australia won it to confirm retaining or winning the series in England ?
the one Chris got was a 3-2 England win in 2015
must be the 90s when Australia won the last test as I think England won the last one in 2001
FACT
Yeah it was. 5th was a rain affected drawWe won the last in 97, but series was dead. However wasn’t it the 4th we won in 2001?
Lost to the Bangers and SL in that timeframe didn’t they?Pretty sure Australia has only lost 2 series in last 4 years. Both against India home and away lost 1-2
Both were drawn 1-1 (and Bangers was over 5 years ago)Lost to the Bangers and SL in that timeframe didn’t they?
What annoys me is we gifted two test to a bang average Aussie side but at least we woke up and were on course to put it right. Then the bloody rain intervened and it will go down in the books that we didn't win back the Ashes.
Total embarrasment.
I mean I’m not going through the lineup but imagine thinking Stokes doesn’t walk into that Australia sideAside from Root, Duckett and Broad, none of the English side get into the Aussie best XI.
Would have been more embarrassing for that same "bang average" Aussie side to lose this series.
Haha. I’ve only been on one cruise and once you lost sight of land the wifi went with itOh mate, I’m sorry to say it has free wifi the whole way.
36 test av with the bat, 35 FC av. That's ordinary.I mean I’m not going through the lineup but imagine thinking Stokes doesn’t walk into that Australia side
If you pick Marsh or Green ahead of him you’re a lunatic and that’s that36 test av with the bat, 35 FC av. That's ordinary.
He's a clutch player no doubt but I wouldn't have him in the middle order when there's already Root, Labuschagne, Smith and Head.
Could make a case for him at 7 cause his bowling is quite handy.
Didn't mention either of them. I think you get enough with the bat from Cummins that you don't need an all rounder at 7.If you pick Marsh or Green ahead of him you’re a lunatic and that’s that
Yeah we felt the full pain of it at EdgbastonDidn't mention either of them. I think you get enough with the bat from Cummins that you don't need an all rounder at 7.
He’d be worth more to any team than Head (and that’s not a knock on Head).Didn't mention either of them. I think you get enough with the bat from Cummins that you don't need an all rounder at 7.
Nah maybe look at the fact we arrogantly batted on too long on day 3,then we were also far too careful on that evening session of day 2. England had to win this test so was about giving ourselves as much time as possible which sadly we didn't do.Other than when our openers were made to bat in the pitch black at Edgbaston. They’d have tonned up in any semblance of light and those two wickets cost us much more than the declaration. And then to rub salt in the wounds they go and make us bowl spinners in much lighter conditions yesterday, just as our seamers were about to get their tails up and clean up.
Both matches stolen from us by the umpires. FACT
