Switched on to see England get these last 30 odd runs and was treated to that. Wow. Test cricket is the best.

Gutsy effort from Chris Woakes. A great series

I’d rather flog the campaigners in every test
DO NOT give them a road they are useless if it’s not.
Root will still score runs though

I still can't believe that braindead shot by Bethell in the second innings.
That should be pack your bags and never come back stuff.

Yep
It was a tough, gritty, gripping battle where courage was a must. And Bethell wanted none of it
Don't get me wrong, personally for me it's **** England and I hope we smash them 5-0 again but a competitive Ashes is good for Test cricket and it can do with whatever help it gets. Compare this game to the Windies being bowled out for 27.

It was immature. But he's young. Like Sam Konstas, it's a "go away, learn your trade, come back when you're ready" situation.

This series right up there with the Ashes 2005 in terms of suspense.
England will do well to pinch 1 test in Australia this summer.

Assuming this is sarcasm:
You realise what it’s taken for the two teams to draw those series yeah?
Australia had to win a test 8-down, got away with a draw through the rain in another and in general people walked away from that series going ‘wow that was awesome to watch I can finally get some sleep.’
Most of the people posting in this forum are neutral fans and are the same. That took an incredible sequence of fight backs from India to do the same (and some from England as well - notably the first test to chase down the target that they did).
I’m yet to see anybody say England is a dynasty, not even England themselves: I’ve heard England say they WANT to be a great side and that they think the way they play can or will save the game which is probably nonsense depending on your feelings, but they aren’t a great side. They’re a good team, not a great one. They have a win percentage almost identical to Australia’s under its current regime, with a much higher losing one. But so far this version of their team is unbeaten at home and the two teams that have earned a draw have had to put in some huge performances to do it

What a finish.
Whilst I was going for India cos I can't stand Stokes or McCullum, I couldn't help but feel that if Woakes ended up facing with a few runs needed I would have been barracking for him to bring it home.
Test is best.
2-2. Deserves a decider, but deserve has got nothing to do with it.

Agree with 2005....however reckon we are a fair bit behind England as a team. I don't see us winning at home.
Never got a hundred in Australia. I really hope we can keep it that way.
Think with the players atm, wouldn’t be surprised either.
But who knows, Starc Hazlewood Boland and Cummins are still the best in the world.

We will crush them and it won't even be close.
Even with our dysfunctional top three, their bowling attack will be lucky to take 20 wickets in a test.

Would have been blockbuster had their been a 6th or deciding test - for sure. (An alive rubber especially)
I reckon organizers of the Hundred (which starts in a couple of days) , ECB and BCCI would have loved a decider to determine who is the better side in English conditions at the cost of maybe reducing the white ball stuff for a week or so.
Comms saying these kind of matches great endorsement for test cricket but a need to share the love to other nations outside : Aus, India and England.

He’s 21 and has hit half centuries in his first 3 tests before this one. I think he will get a mulligan.
We do. Maybe the two tier system would actually work, I don't know.
With all the white ball stuff it is hard getting series of five though. But I think it takes that number of tests to truly build the narrative.
Damien Martyn got banished for years for a much less worse shot.
But yeah that was kind of exceptional
