Re: Official Ashes Thread

This really is game on now.

Exciting Test. I can see Lyon into the attack very quickly.

Re: Official Ashes Thread

England need at least a 280 lead.

And **** off Labuschagne.!!!!

Re: Official Ashes Thread

That declaration is looking dodgier by the minute. I could understand it if it had been Robinson and Broad in at the time, but it wasn’t, there was one of England’s greatest ever batsmen with a hundred to his name, not Broad. It’s far from inconceivable that another fifty could have been scored and things would now be looking a lot different.

If we were 8 down with just the tail to bat then I would understand the declaration more, but with your best batsman still at the crease it doesn't appear to be the wisest move.

By declaring Stokes has guaranteed a result , which is good enough for me regardless who wins

Re: Official Ashes Thread

281 to win. Game in the balance. England could have done with one of the batsmen kicking on from a good start.

As I mentioned before in this thread, Stokes declaring a booboo.

Throw the bat about for a few overs with a devil may care attitude, nothing to lose.

Aussies should win this.

Four sessions to bat sensibly.

Re: Official Ashes Thread

Bairstow again.!!!! He shouldn't be behind the stumps. Theyve got this decision badly wrong.

[Harry Paget Flashman]

Re: Official Ashes Thread

Hopefully Aus motor this evening and get a fair chunk of the 280 on the board given the forecast for tomorrow.

If England lose it won't be due to the declaration it'll be the missed opportunities.

Re: Official Ashes Thread

Labuschagne fails for a second time - even Steven at the moment I’d say.

Re: Official Ashes Thread

Yeah game again back in the balance.
