Root gets the lowest bouncing ball of the series. Wow

[sparky]

Root gone. England in trouble now. 5 down. 170 needed.

[NTA]

Billings second guesses himself and holes out. Should just swing hard, mate.

[sparky]

Billings out. Australia can smell another Test win.

[sparky]

Boland has been amazing in this series. Ridiculous figures. Be interesting to see if he can maintain this form.

[NTA]

That was just shit from Pope

[booboo]

Pope Marnuses himself, without the full comedy act.

The flight home must be booked for the morning.

A shame after one of the better opening partnerships for England in the Ashes for several years, to just roll over. I imagine the extra half hour will be asked for tonight...

[NTA]

@donsteppa best opening partnership of the series for either side

[NTA]

Great catch.

England were looking good with 70 in the board.

Led than 50 runs later they're in a heap

[NTA]

Wood giving no shits. "Fuck the rest of you weak fluffybunnies", he said, then chopped it.

Samurai as fuck.

Probably not, looks like the flight was brought forward till tonight...

Feeeeeeeble batting resistance.

[NTA]

Wood showed some fight. Robinson was weak as fuck.

[Donsteppa]

Why do the Poms get four to five matches in each Test series?

The one-off Test originally scheduled against Afghanistan could not have been capitulated as fast as England in 4/5 of these matches...

[NTA]

Lyon didn't bowl a ball all test. Let that sink in.

9 wickets in a session. 10 for 56 to end it.

What are the England selectors and coaching team doing?

Aaand they'll get them. That's the true shame of top level Sports coaching these days: it doesn't matter how bad you are proven to be, you're in the door.

[booboo]

@donsteppa there seems to be some deeply reminiscent obsession with the Ashes.

Both teams and the relevant media will now spend the next two years obsessing about building towards the next Ashes. Which will be just aa underwhelming.

[NTA]

99 wickets taken by Australia in the series.

63 by England.

Beggars belief.
