What a rubbish shot by Head.

It spun a mile.

 

[dirtybird]

Smith gone, now I'm worried.

 

[Mav]

Right Oh Carey. Time to stick it up em.

 

[Mav]

Why the * did I get out of bed?

 

[Mav]

What the * was that Stark?

What a collapse.

 

[Twinkletoes]

Why the * did I get out of bed?

What’s a bed? Squeaky bum time has arrived, in true Ashes tradition.

103 to win. Sun shining. 6 wickets down and rain due in an hour or so. New ball a couple of overs away.

I’d love Carey to see us through here and shut the boo boys up!

 

[Twinkletoes]

It’s going to be tough from here. Losing 5/30 doesn’t help!

8 down and 90 to get.

If a 22 year old 5 test veteran can go with him.
Time to go the tonk.

Yeah that’s what I was hoping Marsh was about to do dammit.

 

[chairo]

It spun a mile.

You are right but he had planted his foot so far down the pitch and flashed at the ball so far from his body, so even a small amount of turn or bounce would bring the edge into play.

 

[Mav]

You’re kidding me.

Stuart ******* Broad changing the bails. What a utensil head.

 

[Twinkletoes]

All over. 50 short in the end. Great effort by the tail.

Ah well, we retain The Ashes.

 

[Nate7]

All out, poms get their win.

 

[Twinkletoes]

That ball change was a bloody disgrace.

That ball change was a bloody disgrace.

Abomination.

What's next for this Aussie team?

• t20s and ODIs in South Africa from late August
• as above in India, then ODI World Cup, finishing with a few t20s in India
• Aus A v NZ A, 4 day games, ODIs, Great Barrier Reef Arena
• 4 day practice match v Pakistan at Manuka Oval
• 1st test v Pakistan in Perth

 

[nicko74]

Weak as piss

 

[Twinkletoes]

A fitting series result in the end anyway.

 

[SonofSamsquanch]

Hmmmmm. Runners up you say.

We are North Melbourne.

 

[SonofSamsquanch]

A fitting series result in the end anyway.

The result and the bitterness of old blighty (not that one) will hasten the republic situation anyway.

Time to call it off. End the empire. Can the Commonwealth. Viva Republic!!!

 

[chairo]

Crap way to lose (and it is very annoying not to come away with the win when it was there for the taking) but IMO 2-2 is probably a fair result. They clearly outplayed us in large parts of the series. We certainly have a lot to think about.

 

[scottywiper]

In all my years of watching cricket never seen such an obviously inappropriate ball change. The Poms just constantly question the ball in the hope they'll get a better one. Thats very much on the dodgy side.
If the openers blunt the new ball they earn their reward. Not for the three dingbats running the show to give the other side a chance for a do over.
Farcical stuff.

The ball was that good they didn’t want to take the new one

 

[Hojuman]

Stuff the Poms.

Ashes are ours

 

[Sillygit]

All series the dukes ball has been failing, 7 over in they started to try to get it replaced in this innings, f*cking 7.

If we'd actually chased it down, would have been something like the 8th highest successful run chase of all time. And yet im still pissed off that we got within 110 and completely s**t the bed.
