Webster 70 not out and 3/37.

Must be about time to drop him.

Yeah but Cam Green is REALLY TALL! Taller than Webster, even!

Is there a reason why they're not extending play to make up the time lost from Sunday/day 1? Or do they not do it anymore?

They have been starting at 10 , 30 min early

Ah, i've been missing that then

I suppose extending it later isn't ideal if 'light' can factor into delays

Probably more to do with finishing in time for the 6 pm news .

Finally, a 5 day test lol

 

[jhong]

very nervy chase atm.

 

[jhong]

can we do the seemingly impossible and lose this ffs ?

 

[jhong]

lol

 

[jhong]

Well done lads . 4-1 it is.

Would've been funny to lose that, but well closed out at the end. On reflection a shambolic series from England given the changes to Australia's lineup throughout. Probably get flogged over there next time as half the side will turnover

 

[PerfectFooty]

Ultimately, I still enjoyed winning

My takes from the Ashes ;
Australia can be thankful the English are stupid.
The English fielding , especially catching was below test standard .
The Poms decided to play test cricket after the series had been decided .
Stokes is a very good player , but as a captain he is an idiot .
The generational change for Australia is going to be painful
Hate to say it but would not be surprised if England win the Ashes when we next tour over there .
We deserved to win this series.
