    There’s still movement in the air if Oz can get their length right.

    Poms will be nervy until it gets to under 20 runs.

    Bump….

    England win.

    Fitting that Wood and Woakes are there because they did it with the ball.

    Boy did the series need that.

    Eng looked dead and buried at times during that test. Wonderful effort by them.

    England need to bring in Foakes

    I wonder if Aus will make any changes

    Am away at mo but saw what was needed last day and thought pre Ashes England it’s a walk in the park. This current England woujd struggle.

    Glad to see the win, keeps the series alive and gives a staunch middle finger to the 5-nil ers who never gave England cricket any credit despite a year of superb results.

    Oz still strong faves for series but Poms alive!

    Surely Bairstow is done for a bit.

    Three great Tests. The last two have a lot to live up to.

    Yeah, it's funny seeing all this stuff about how bazball is shite, how much better Aus are as a team, how much better they are man for man than England and then how shit England have been playing, how so many guys have thrown their wicket away and yet we have had three very close matches.

    On here? Because I think on here everyone thought it was close
    But one team talked a huge game and for once it wasn't the Aussies. And thus the fern jumped on the Australian bandwagon (super begrudgingly)

    I'm just reveling in the graphic illustration you don't win without Josh hazlewood

    Great series of test cricket

    @mariner4life

    Yeah. On here. Check the next post after yours 😀

    On the subject of talking oneself up, I have found some of the comments a bit cringey, but take out Robinson’s utterings and there’s not that much to get frothy about. He has been embarrassing though.

    I have to say I’m not sold on him at all. His averages seem pretty good so far but he doesn’t make me feel particularly confident as he trundles up to deliver the ball. I wouldn’t play him together with Anderson and Broad and I still wouldn’t pick him over either of them.

    @Catogrande indeed.

    McCullum has been criticized for daring to suggest England could win.

    I tend to enjoy the Ashes banter and England went in the back of some really good results and hence had some confidence.

    Few daft comments here n there but so what?
