Re: Official Ashes Thread

England rode their luck to not lose a wicket in their five overs, but, famous last words, I fancy them to win this one.

Bloody hell tobw!!!

Re: Official Ashes Thread

This series had had everything whichever way this match ends. There are so many people who don't like cricket particularly the long format. I feel sorry for each and everyone of them! To me no other sport comes close to it. I'm worn out today just watching it. I feel like I've played every ball personally since the second innings started.

Re: Official Ashes Thread

Wickets chucked away again. Bye bye Ashes.

And that's why I no longer bet on sport!

Just great sport.

Re: Official Ashes Thread

Great 4 days of cricket, constantly had me wondering if England were throwing it away at times. Stokes and Bairstow wickets seemed like a turning moment but Woakes and Brook stood firm, with Wood in search of boundaries at the end.

Entertaining stuff, and still something to play for at Old Trafford.

Re: Official Ashes Thread

Don’t know if this should be in this thread, but England’s women’s team have just beaten the Australians again to level their Ashes series at 6-6 with two games to play. It’s three straight wins now for England over what was being described as the world’s greatest team. Australia never lose fifty over games, but they have today.
