Fraid Inglis does not have the temperament for Tests, not at this stage anyway.

Especially not keeping as well.

Big collapse after the SA boys partnership was broken. Hopefully it should be enough runs and Garry plays a big part in getting a lot of wickets if it starts to turn.

 

[Zman]

Garry is being targeted and he's leaking runs, wow the pitch is not turning whatsoever.

 

[Richie]

Yep. And will he ever keep in Tests, doubt it as Carey will keep going for a while yet, by then the next gens will be entrenched in first class cricket and ready to take the next step.

Englands game plan to sweep/reverse sweep the spinners has come unstuck after Brook missed one. This bloke always seems to find a way to defeat himself.

 

[Zman]

This is going to be a lot closer than we thought unless the poms collapse here.

 

[Zman]

I'll be really pissed off if we lose this because I thought we batted pretty poorly this morning. A 500 run lead was very achievable had we knuckled down with our batting.

Stokes is the prime target. Get him cheaply and they could crumble.

I'm praying at this stage, looks like we've been out played today for the first time in this game.

 

[Zman]

Stokes is out awesome now we need Crawley gone and the collapse should be on.

 

[Zman]

Yee ha i knew Garry would come good with the wicket turning!

The old bloke nails Stokes cheaply. Game set and match.

Gary would come good with the wicket turning!

...and the foot marks. It'll be over by lunch tomorrow.

At 7/337 England needs 98 runs to win.
Unlikely but nice to see England have a go.

 

[Kram81]

Wtf can't believe they got this close.

YOU CHAMPS BAGGY GREENS!!

Lost Lyon for the last hr. Head bowling with the new ball which I found extraordinary. Starc going round the wicket was a no brainer as he had two warnings of following thru in the danger zone. He bowls better around too when there is no swing for him.

 

[Zman]

Hey you pommie bastards!

 

[Grier]

Poor old Nathan Lyon getting injured.
Hamstring from fielding?
He was brilliant spin bowling, even taking out Stokes's wicket.
Lyon is 38 but I still reckon spin bowlers can play into their 40's. Unlikely for batters and fast bowlers ...
So Australia wins the Ashes with two test matches to go. I'd like to see the Poms continue to improve and learn from a brilliant test team, Australia.
