Australia / England Ashes test series 21/22

[Zeb]

Aussies all out for 303, but Poms have lost and early wicket 1-3 Burns gone.

Doesn't bode well....

Wonder if the umps will test them with rings to see if they're out of shape

They don't make rings that small.

It’s a wonder they’re not the size of basket balls with the thumping they’ve taken.

[whitespider - RIP]

Follow on avoided. Partyyyyyyy time 🤣🤣🤣

Yet another innings under 200 for the poms.   
 

Awkward session ahead for our boys.

Whatever the target I doubt England will get there.
Aussies already safe with a 237 lead.

 

[keepitfun]

So much time left, they will bat as long as they can.   No declaration this time.

Unlike his predecessor, the current Australian captain just sends unsolicited duck pics.

Lucky Cummins isn’t a kiwi…..maybe Sam Billing’s is the lucky one.

[gentleenforcer]

I know that they have had a lot of batting collapses this series but at 1 / 68 chasing 271 and two and a bit days to play, I think the Poms may be in with a chance this time. Dud Root and Malim must get reasonable scores however.

[Macawber]

Root's gone for 11.... and he's laughing coz he somehow managed NOT to get smashed in the goolies this time. 

[Macawber]

Pommies should be grateful that there's no relegation rule in test cricket 555

[Eric Le Roi]

Avoided the whitewash.

No further comment.

Miserable performance from England. They look absolutely shot to bits. 
 

New captain and coach neededn

In descending order  , 

Root is an excellent batsman and poor Captain

Silverwood is completely out of his depth as Head Coach

The buck should stop with the ECB who have sold the English first class game down the river .

To take nothing away from Australia , who performed very well  ,  some great individual performances , Green , Head , Kawaja , Boland stand outs .
