The Ashes 2017/18

[StreetEndBlue]

We were right in the game until the 3rd evening then fell apart. This could easily be another 5-0.

And did Jonny Bairstow really headbutt Bancroft? If true, shame it wasn't Smith, Lyon or the odious Warner. Or preferably, all three.

If this was played in New Zealand, or UAE, or even India, this would be a drawn series.

Nothing between the two sides except home advantage, which is a massive deal. If this was in England, Australia would have capitulated. They're both as awful as each other.

Pity he showed no bottle on the field. Shame

Get stokes out there NOW.

And seriously ban these bottlers from alcohol. They are they to beat the aussies not on a lads holiday

We picked a bowling attack suited for English conditions in Australia, remarkably stupid, almost everyone in here called that. We had good positions and took out foot off their throat, Australia do the opposite, that's been a big difference for decades a few tougher players aside, who are often treated as villains by the ECB and certain fans. Cook only gets runs when it's easy and has done for years, typical spineless rich kid. We castigate, suspend and in some cases sack our only players tough enough to face up to the aussies

think that's quite untrue, 10-11 down under? Wasn't easy but made it seem like it.

That was some time ago

Joe Root is his equal, especially at home. Smith relies on flat tracks.

Never saw a ball bowled cos I hate BT sport and just won't pay for it.
I'm gonna miss out but its the price I pay by not paying

Hi Tim.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Hi Tim.

Heya Carlos. You keeping well mate?

 

[carlos21]

Heya Carlos. You keeping well mate?

Yes bro.

 

[PITA]

....and Steve Smith

Boycott made a good point when he said that both teams have two world class batsmen (Cook/Root v Warner/Smith) but ours made 75 runs for four wickets whilst Warner and Smith made 254 for 1 wicket.
