The Ashes 2017/18

[Dannymini]

Night session crucial here as England comfortable.
Root not looking foolish now is he? Smith not following England on looks the fool, batting under lights.

Still well against it

 

[ToffeeTim]

Not having that hawk eye there. The ball did not turn square.

 

[deipnosophist]

Cook is a shadow of his former self. Having said that, I thought on first sight, the ball that was going down leg.

...anyway, it's all academic. England are going to lose

And lose heavily.

Mentally so so weak.

 

[Azzurri]

Cook could play at Anfield this Sunday and still be the biggest bottler.

...been listening to TMS, Agnew was certain the Cook appeal would fail. Never mind.

agnew is a chump of the highest order, cook went to the right school, so agnew would tell listeners black is white if it suited cooks argument

 

[McBain]

Oooof I thought they would bed in abit there. Starc corker.

As for the night games, having test cricket to watch after 6pm is ace Ive decided.

...typical Vince dismissal. Geoffrey fuming on the radio.

 

[McBain]

Root survives.

Love listening to Boycott, tells it straight, knows his stuff and then some.

250 to get with 7 wickets remaining. Tall order, but they've got half a chance while Root is still there.

..it helps a little that the Aussies just lost their 2 reviews. Australia still big favourites, England can’t afford to lose more wickets in this final session which is a big ask.

yeah, this is a crucial session. England under the cosh a bit. Just need to dig in and keep fighting. If you're going to lose a wicket make them do something special.

 

[evilwebby]

Root still going. The Aussies are a bit rattled here.
England's playing their way into contention.. win odds now down to 4.5 for 9.0 at the start of the session.

edit, odds just fallen quite a bit in the last couple of balls.. down to 3.85 now. Getting to that crucial phase of the innings
