The Ashes

[don]

England have a shot at avoiding the 0-5, need to bat all day

Awful review by Crawley. That was as out as out gets.

 

[SoundMan]

Loss of 7 overs got England a draw and the Aussies looked absolutely gutted.

Not a 5-0 but still England are well short

Tbf to the English players, they know the importance of the series and that the odd time the content of the urn needs to be updated

Yeah today and day 1 (iirc) the lost overs was all that saved them

 

[RebelBhoy]

Yeah, that

Poor light at the end which stopped the seamers coming in. A bit of bad luck, a bit of poor fielding too.

The aussies can probably to better than Carey with the gloves. England need a bit of credit for hanging in there.

Bigtime - they've folded every other time they've had a job to do at the crease. This is a boost for them. A few of them hung in there too - not just one or two heroes. Aus still by far and away the dominant side but the Poms get a tick in their account this weekend

Imagine Boland having no cap until he was 32.

He's so consistent. Glenn McGrath-esque

Their tail certainly, but not having to face seamers is a big help.

100% but the sight of hundreds of fielders surrounding the bat is a great sight
