The Ashes

Last couple of wickets brought it back to evens. England were otherwise winning the day.
Starc isn't right. Pace on him and Cummins is way down. But fuck it, they're 5 for 230-odd and tomorrow is mostly sunny.
If we keep Starc on ice all night, he can rip the tail out and we can get to work. A few green patches on that pitch might help Anderson and Broad. They'll have 1.5 spinners as well

That careless shot by Root last night could well cost England quite dearly.
Nothing in the pitch, a tiring Australian attack and the tailenders looking pretty comfortable - it's hard to think that if Malan and Root had still been together this morning that England wouldn't have been looking at more like 450.
Sydney pitch should have something for the spinners by the 4th innings, so they need to be setting Oz some runs.

@barbarian said in The Ashes:
Yeah Crane and Ali are both looking decent, so I'd think we'd need at least 450 to give ourselves a chance in the game.
Looming as an interesting Day 5 finish on Monday.
Christ on a bike, standards for being a good spinner have taken a massive nose dive since Murali and Warnie called it a day.

Good day to be at the beach if you're English in Sydney. Speaking of which, I'm off to the pool. It's starting to get warm here.

@antipodean 32 here according to the interwebs. Bullshit

Normal service has resumed and England are back to being a pile of rubbish. The Ashes rarely live up to the hype...
Hate to say it but the grumpy @Baron-Silas-Greenback was right, this series has been a dud overall.

The english have given runs to some really ordinary players this summer
