Are the Youtubers you watch either of these?

Would love England to win the next one, so there's shit load riding on the Oval test. Not too much difference there. But the big difference is the fielding, namely Bairstow...

If they don't do Bazball, they'll coast it. Literally all they need to do is play sensibly and don't need to be so aggressive. Two days to get a relatively small total. If every player says to themselves they don't need to bat like Stokes (as entertaining as that is), they'll be fine. Especially in a must win game.

They know people will pay...

Bairstow is bad.

Done

Yeah, what to?

Changed it for you

What a day of cricket. Skittled out Aus for under 300 with one of their players getting a century. Then lost 3 wickets in the final session. Maybe both teams know there's rain on the horizon for Saturday and potentially Monday. Get the game done tomorrow

Mark Wood is perfect on this pacy pitch. Excellent pace.

It's the drama of it all though. It's much more than a Liverpool vs Everton...

Would you swap Bairstow out for Foakes? Must have been more than that, surely? Even Khawaja got pissed and he's known as a calm guy. There must have been verbals towards them? Given they were suspended, had to have been more than boos and hisses.

Slight difference there is that De Grandhomme is off balance and in momentum of the shot still, and Pope was just that quick in the mind for the run out. So don't have any surprise there was little uproar.

For the romance of the game I so hoped Stokes would do it. But Aus got their heads straight and stuck to an efficient game plan. Yep, took all the control away and started bowling in the right places. But it was some innings from him up to then.

Broad ably supporting him. Getting lucky on a couple of occasions. Starc should have been brought in earlier...

How can anyone not love Ashes cricket.

Stokes. Love it. This is quality.

Exactly. Sky showed the 3 balls before, and he did it every time. England will be mad, but I think it's probably more frustration and misplaced anger. Yeah it's not usual to see it, but it's also not against the rules. Aussies are just more ruthless with that.

Absolutely no issue with the dismissal from me. Quick thinking from Carey to do that, and notice Bairstow did it a few times before. And pure laziness from Bairstow. Stupid.
