Need to make sure we bat well today and give them any kind of sniff of saving this. Hopefully get to about 450-500

Never mind then 333/8 Just Finn left in the hutch.

Hopefully Ali and Broad get us a few more on the board, but we are still plenty infront

Bit of a damp squib this morning, but the ball is doing stuff, so I think Wood / Finn will enjoy this (soon)

Dropping like flies now!

lewisant · « **Reply #734 on:** August 07, 2015, 03:44:55 PM »

I've missed 3 of the 4 wickets! We could still potentially wrap this up today. Ashes in the bag?

Any chance that you could pop down the road for a paper or something please?

A really long road would be good, in Arizona perhaps?

I completely went out as i had to take my girlfriend to the garage that was in for an MOT. I was a bit miffed as i thought i'd miss us sealing it but it looks i only influence the wickets if switch over to Sky Sports News!

I think the Aussies really need to drop Extras down the order, he's been their most consistent performer this test .

Well done England for regaining the Ashes. A fantastic team effort, Brilliant

Well done England.

Great stuff the England cricket team.

Not just an Ashes victory though, but a humiliating defeat for the Aussies.

Just back from a wine tasting weekend in the Yarra Valley and during the course of the weekend met up with loads of Ozzies and had a bit of good natured banter with them.

All in all, the Ozzies I met took the defeat and loss of th Ashes well and were philosophical about losing. But I suppose there is little option for them.

Well done to all the England boys, you did us proud, particularly those here in the Australian area of the antipodes.

Delighted for Alastair Cook.

After all the abuse, criticism and knives in the back he has received in the last two years, he deserves to enjoy every single minute of this moment

gerry m · « **Reply #746 on:** August 22, 2015, 12:46:44 PM »

England all out for 149. Trailing by 332, Australia enforce the follow on. Looks like the series ending 3-2

Adder · « **Reply #747 on:** August 22, 2015, 02:48:01 PM »

Australia's bowling has been much better with Siddle and Marsh a revelation in this game.

WBAinDEVON · « **Reply #748 on:** August 22, 2015, 03:13:07 PM »

time for Lyth and Bell to go

Adder · « **Reply #749 on:** August 22, 2015, 06:46:20 PM »

Agree on Lyth - overall I think he's come off worse than Compton, Carberry and Robson.

Bell is looking dodgy but he's really had some unplayable balls in this series ...at least 4 I can think of.

It's only Cook, Root and Stokes who should be certain selections of the top 6.
