Geez. The Poms may actually win a game.

Just as I posted that it's now 3/112. Hopefully a collapse is imminent.

Listening on ABC Radio in the car before and they said England has not won a Test match in Australia since 2011.

Last series win too. 3-1. That was Alistair Cook's Ashes.

All over red rover. Losing Labs, Ussie and Alex cheaply this morning hurt us. Then those sneaky Pommies ambushed us with a bazball blitz against our opening attack and we had no answer. Neser and Starc went for about 30 each from their opening spells. Ness the main culprit with a Carse at Perth like short crap spell.

Neser will most likely make way for Cummins for the Sydney Test.

England win the Boxing Day Test inside two days by four wickets, posting 110 and 6/178 in reply to Australia's 152 and 132.

Worst Test of All Time.

Agree that Neser will likely be replaced for the New Year's Test in Sydney, but unfortunately Pat Cummins is playing no further part in the Ashes as he's been ruled out of the last two Tests.

I forgot about that.

I'd imagine there'll be changes aplenty after this farce.

Two day Tests stink. Curator should be sacked for not shaving at least 2mm off the pitch.

Completely agree.

Hopefully the SCG curators aren't as stupid.

Dont see any changes given the difficult batting conditions. With three extra days the longer back to back interval may now mean no quicks are rested. So one will have to make way for Murphy given it is Sydney. Who?

 

[Richie]

Announce your retirement before Sydney Usman. Your time is up old mate.

 

[Richie]

Cam Green was given only one over in the match and took a wicket in it.

 

[grazorblade]

If im not mistaken this rating is worse than pune and the worst rating ive ever seen

 

[grazorblade]

Crikey watched the highlights

Reckon if starc catches that caught and bowled we win, or that catch that touched the grass probably cost a few runs

Oh well, well played england

 

[grazorblade]

Stunning from starc

Best strike bowler ive ever seen for australia. How close is he the best ever?

 

[grazorblade]

To answer my own question starc has the 6th lowest strike rate of bowlers with 200 wickets and the 2nd best afyer steyn if i make the cutoff 400 wickets

 

[Decentric]

Two games DC, one he did not bowl.

No way. One half decent season in three/four. Pushing 30 and averages close to that.

Thanks, Richie.

I was going down a long list and couldn’t see Green’s name.
