The Ashes

That review this morning was disgraceful, and just reeked of desperation. Not sure you can blame Starc, he didn't look overly convinced. Someone must have been, despite an awful lot of stumps showing. Very poor cricket.
-
Handscomb does more as sub fielder than Mitch Marsh will this entire game.
-
solid collapse, 420 would be overs from here
-
This England team have such a weak lower order.
And a weak top order.
Thus will probably be their highest score of the series.
Bowling round the wicket from ball one at number 11's body is not on though IMO, no matter how much bad blood there is between Anderson and the Aussies.

Winning at all costs is the straya way

Crying crocodile tears over Phil Hughes death, pledging behaviour had to change and then quickly reverting to type is also the Australian way it seems.
I don't really have an issue with the behaviour at all but every so often I sniff a whiff of hypocrisy from all involved

Lol at the sanctimonious shit about short bowling at tailenders.
The only guy to get hit in the head was the opener, who took his eyes off it like a silly bastard.
The bunnies have the sense to duck, and they don't get many body shots that leave them in no man's land.

In some ways we’re lucky that Wagner isn’t 10kmph faster...
(And/or that he hasn’t toured the home of Bodyline with those tactics)

Clearly that would cross the line. And the Aussies know where the line is. They don't ever cross the line. Do you not know this?

Liebke is always worth a laugh.

Fairly evenly poised, though you'd still have England in front given we have to bat 4th and the pitch is already playing a few tricks.
The value of tail-end runs is reinforced time and time again. At 4/360, England should have put the game away and made 450+. Instead they crumbled and left the door open.
Warner looks a bit out of sorts, too. Big pressure on Smith to make runs here, though he looks well up for it.

With all due respect to KW, Kohli and Root the angry lesbo is surely far and away the best batsman on earth right now.

@barbarian Smith is looking pretty set now. Hope Eng change up their bowling. Trying to contain with everyone aside from Anderson . But they are leaking plenty.
