Sign of an even game tbf but Australia can hardly complain after having such an opportunity on Day 2 with ball and bat and losing it not really due to brilliance but just poor undisciplined cricket

Well we did at Lords with the happy hooking half hour after Lyon got injured. Been so much braindead cricket this series from both sides.

Is Warner really going to get the flick though?

No but one can dream

I reckon Mel Jones is unironically the best commentator on the team. The rest of those biased old toffee noses can **** off

 

[CartyDurham]

Mel Jones gets around the country well, I watched her last night at Lords in the woman’s match

bombed up the A1 to get to this game

Not likely, am just saying what I would do rather than what is likely.

Yeah the pattern of the first game has continued unabated - whichever team makes less mistakes, especially ones at critical moments, wins.

As others have said, a day to forget

Yeah, was surprised how ineffectual he was with the ball today.

And tactically he cancelled out Murphy as an option so Australia had three bowlers and an all-rounder all bowling RH pace all day.

I think he just looked tired tbh. He's done an awful lot of bowling in the last month.

 

[CartyDurham]

I’m sure the posts will continue. We can argue about them selection for O.T.
Too much information…

wasnt at all conducive to a spinner. Should've played Neser and Hazlewood as a 4 man pace attack. we couldve won.

Australia lost a test so anything can happen with selection

I wouldn't do it myself

 

[Lefty]

We’ll be back. There are still 2 more test matches for us to win.

A quick hello from Zack Crawley and Bryan Young.

 

[Cricket CoachDB]

Three cheers for a great cricket wicket!

The week break helps us IMO. For all the talk about England's bowlers getting bowled into the ground, they rotated and looked fresher for it - a lot of our blokes looked a bit leggy out there.

Motm is Wood

Haway the lad and Durham does it again

 

[CarlsbergXpress]

Wonderful game of test match cricket, could have gone either way again ffs. Unbelievable series so far - I for one need the 10 days off.

 

[CartyDurham]

Neser getting a game in for Glamorgan may indicate he could possibly be in for Old Trafford ?

 

[Ashes81]

Cracking interview as ever from Woody.

Fingers crossed he's fit for the rest of the series - he's a game winner.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Lol Wood is such a down to earth northern country lad. Love it

 

[subshakerz]

Congrats England. Amazing series. It has basically been one big match that has swayed this way to that based on session.
