When Siddle opened I had an online tête-à-tête with a mate last night, my mate claiming this is where not picking Starc bites us on the ar5e. But I pointed out, Starc might get 2 for 10 off 3 overs, but he could also be 0 for 30 at stumps and leave The Poms with only 320 runs to get tomorrow. 385 in a day versus 350 is a world of difference on a degraded pitch!

Get in there Aussies
Well played.
Margin flattered the poms.
We had a large number of those terrible decisions go against us.
The opener was lbw on 11.
Warner not out
Pattinson not out
Still prevailed comfortably
Bring on lords

Roy, Denly, Butler...not sure the English have figured out its test cricket and these one day players dont belong. How Ali keeps getting a game is beyond me.
Full credit to Smith, kept us the game and given the pressure he was under it was a wonderful batting display, also was the defacto captain.
Matthew Wade was the surprise batting at 6, didnt expect that and Travis Head has become a very reliable player.
Onto Lords, cant see us making many changes...Poms need to make about 5...
Re: Ashes 2019 - Mantis - 08-05-2019
Our players that get paid to make runs with the bat in the higher order need to be more composed and score more consistently. That can’t have Smith, Siddle and Wade carry the side making most of the runs. Not saying it was a huge problem in this test, but our upper order don’t set a good platform for a decent score often enough.

What a turnaround from 8 for 122!
We’ll played ????????

That'll shut up the booing from the Poms.

You're winding me up are you! :o
What's the equivalent of booing at Lords, nasty tennis claps?
Re: Ashes 2019 - flyboy77 - 08-05-2019
Steve Smith -what a bat.
And let's not forget the balding GOAT....

Never been one to count my chickens (test cricket in particular) but one up in the series, it was some karma after their rag newspapers suggested life bans for Warner and Smith but did nothing about Atherton.
Anyway, great to see Lyon making Moeen Ali look like an idiot. On HIS pitch

Imagine if they actually selected some extra in form players around them, instead of carrying half the squad they would be boosting it?
