Who needs the extra half an hour?

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

What a destruction

 

[Greenstar5]

Awsum. This Thread has been a roller coaster of emotions of the past 2 days. never change bigfooty.

 

[Proeagle]

I think I might have to watch that innings again tonight.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Bloody hell! Insane!

 

[aabp1978]

Ok…I have never been more wrong. what on earth did we just watch…that is our Headingly..

 

[moses]

Build Head a statue

 

[The King!]

Moral victory to the Poms

 

[Cleavy]

[Cataholic]

Get Monty Panesar on the phone!

 

[Demonic Ascent]

Unbelievable

Travis Head immense

 

[Buzz Hawk]

Two days lol.
wtf.
Test cricket may never be the same again.

 

[Struggle]

Embarrassing that such a good pitch didn't even get 2 days of cricket

They should divert Baz back to NZ on the way to the next game

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Can't wait for the poms to being up rugby to us solid Aussie Rules lads.

 

[troybe]

What a crazy 2 days of cricket. England snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Great work from Starc and Trav. 1-0 baby

 

[satty]

See what having a dominant opener does, it relives the pressure of the other opener and the no3 batter.

 

[jb04]

That came out of nowhere.

For 1.5 days I was pessimistic af.

Thank you Trav.

 

[Joffaboy]

This is an astonising win, absolutely never seen a test like it.
Both teams appalling 1st innings, England 1 down 100 ahead at lunch 2nd day, defeated before scheduled stumps same day.
WTAF?????

 

[Bungeye]

Lol The Ashes on Australian soil is such a non event. England raised the white flag ages ago

 

[Neese]

That was fun

 

[kenneje]

Not sure why I got laugh reacts for saying Heads century was an all timer.

One of the most anticipated series of all times, and he's won us the test, chasing in the 4th, when the next best score is 50 odd...

32 wickets in 2 days and he's slapped 123 off 83 in a session. He's ****ing incredible.

 

[PhatBoy]

To be fair to Trav, he won Australia a WTC and a WC with centuries overseas..
Get back to me when Root does that.

Well he was England’s leading run scorer at their ‘winning’ World Cup in 2019 and averaged 61 at a strike rate of 90
Like Head here, he’s hit a century with his team in dire need of one in the opening test of an Ashes series albeit his came at 3-40 on the opening morning of the series against Starc, Hazlewood, Johnson and Lyon.
Along with Stuart Broad he famously clinched the deal in the fourth test of the same series with another hundred.


Hit a pretty good one (180) to help them win the second test in 2013 as well against Harris, Pattinson, Siddle.


He might not have the ultra-specific rap sheet that Head does, but I think with his ‘second most test runs in history’ certificate and some of his other exploits to date, he’s managed ok.

 

[kyiv]

Marnus playing a nice hand supporting Trav going ballistic at the other end a la WC final.

 

[Satan]

handy win
