Starc putting in a shift - does look sore, still bowling 145.

Hope they have a lot of helmets

I would crowd the bat against Broad. The games slipping away. Catch one off the glove or shoulder of the bat. Stokes will bat today out in this mood, gotta take his partners off him. And if Broad scores well Stokes was going to anyway

 

[boondy]

Broad being a proper toss pot about grounding his bat after a ball This game has theatre, I'll give it that

I like how he walked 3/4 up the pitch and patted wicket to level it

****ing hell. these campaigners dont have a brain cell between them.

 

[UseR2006]

You know, that last 6 he hit wasn't good enough so i'm going to bowl another one and give him another go at it.

 

[DanWCE]

Oh wow. Greens back.

 

[Monocle]

legitimately pisses me off hearing him in situations like this, he could and should be coaching.

Absolutely would be better than the bloke they have coaching them now.





The trouble is Punter will be chasing the cash and CA won't pay him enough, to compete with what he makes coaching in the IPL and commentating.

Punter has a pretty chill life making heaps of coin, not sure he would want the rigours of coaching our National Team ..... shame because I think he would be an outstanding appointment.

Yeah I'm checking out now so I don't have to relive four years ago.

 

[DanWCE]

Good boy Greeny, nice little fight back

 

[ep2018]

Would be hard to recover mentally if we lose this.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Really confused by the lack of spin. Sadly conservative and predictable from Cummins.

 

[darksquare]

You know, we’ll probably lose. But you have to hand it to Ben Stokes. He’s already a legend, and this is another chapter. They’ll be telling his story in 100 years.

Yep when your fast bowlers are getting slogged with an old ball on day five I dunno why you wouldn't give one of your competent part-time spinners a go

 

[Ochre]

Past little bit has been a lot better but it feels like the damage is done.

 

[Bender_]

Nice

 

[UseR2006]

FINALLY. Got him

 

[Ochre]

Fairs fair, incredible innings. Lyonesque

 

[matthew_s]

finally.

really hope the damage hasnt already been done.

Brad's not the bat he was but we aren't out of the woods yet.

Phenomenal by Stokes. I just want one Ashes in England where we aren't tormented by an all-rounder. Just one.

 

[UseR2006]

There we go!! Tail end collapsing now.
Hopefully we can close this out now.

 

[BrotherDodge]

Good thing lunch came when it did. It forced England to stop slogging us, sit down and overthink things for a while

Also allowed us to stop putting green on stokes and getting smashed every ball.

Of course now it doesn't matter how badly Cummins captains, there'll be a tail-ender on strike.

 

[Avalor]

I thought this had got away from us, fair effort from Stokes, but with only 1 more wicket needed now. Surely we go 2 up.
