Smith and Warner back in the side, Cummins suddenly getting it to swing late when they really need it, nothing suspicious there

Yes is it wrong that is exactly the thought that went through my head too.

Lol yeah especially when the comms were saying"that's the first ball that's swung all game, amazing bowling".

And not wrong, Aus deserve to be mocked for at least 100 years for that.

Jeez we're not getting this unless we bowl at the stumps

[Damo]

England might hold on here.

[NTA]

@damo reckon they will if we keep bowling rubbish

[NTA]

TBH thought we weren't getting this as of an hour ago. Then Bairstow and Buttler fell to give me false hope.

Looks like the light is in play. Smith on

[No Quarter]

Jesus just bowl Boland

[NTA]

WHO LOVES TEST CRICKET?!!!!

Can't - umps have said the light doesn't allow for pace

[voodoo]

Marnus with the pretend throw every single fucking time, so annoying

Well done England, avoided the whitewash ( thanks to the weather, let’s be honest ) and at least showed some real guts at times.

Great finish.

England deserved the draw.

What a fun test.

[NTA]

Fucking great finish. Should have swapped Smith for Marnus because the jammy lesbian used all his luck.

Still. Great fucking game.

Drop Harris for anyone, maybe rest Starc for someone, and roll on Hobart

They were lucky it rained, I don’t reckon they woulda managed it if it didn’t

They were also unlucky that they had multiple injuries during the game so it goes both ways

Lot of maybes here. Could have declared with Khawaja on 70ish instead of waiting. Could have declared straight after he got 100, or when the lead hit 320.

But ultimately they got within a bee's dick, dropped 3 catches, missed a fairly easy runout, and couldn't death bowl well enough.

That's cricket

@nta I would assume Khawaja will open and Head will take his spot back in the middle order?

Nice fight shown by England to survive. Well outclassed on this tour but unlike 2013/14, they've shown that they do have a bit of ticker in their dressing room.

You don’t mess with a guy who has scored a couple of tons…….

BUT then again……series won, lots of time to and opportunity to fuck around and experiment etc.
