whitewash on the cards 😉

boom

18 off 1 ball 😀

Excellent! Barmy Army singing “we’re going to win 5-4” 😀

we’re gonna win 5-4, we’re gonna win 5-4!

Barmy army giving it back to their tormentors.

Good game, who is available to replace Plunkett?

Willey would be worth a run out given his current BBL firm. Handy with the bat too, I think.

This is going to be another tight one, isn’t it?

No. It’s not.

Need another couple of wickets quicksmart.

If you class wizards sleeves as tight, then yes.

But we’ll done finding the original thread, I gave up the search and started a new one

I took 8/5 at school once . I really enjoyed it so I can only imagine how the Aussies felt

ha!

now they’re on the run

Well, our Willey went in and out rather quickly

Bottom! Feels 30 too low.

Having just caught up with the scorecard, we do seem to be better at chasing, rather than making.

Hows the new stadium? Are you there zokes?

Sadly not slackalice. Stadium looks amazing from the outside but haven’t been in. It should be, it’s certainly cost them enough to build! Seems to be rated highly by those who have: not miles away from the pitch like at the G

Well this game needs 10 wickets for England to win, run rate is easy especially for these 2

And Smith for 12 was a good start

Where did Ali find some form with the ball from then!!

Well, it’s taken two series, but finally 87 has struck for oz

Maybe…..just maybe….

Maxwell back in the hutch

Wow game really on now

and again!! We really do have the hang of this version of the game

Yeah. Look what happened when you said Ali was going well 😂

Oh, hello…

Can we get Morgan to captain the test side too?

How many more catches are they going to drop?

Great match for a dead rubber

Dead rubbers dont exist against Australia

Well this is squeaky bum stuff.

Great match for a dead rubber

5-3 at the moment with the T20s to come…

edit: 5-4, successful jinx 😉

Hell yeah, 5 for Curran, hugely deserved there, wickets were going to win this one, they are showing that they can win these from all positions (except giving away a 5 wicket head start)

Go on

Curran!!!

Good stuff 🙂

Never in doubt 😂😂😂

Now for Fed if the 5th set…

Result!  🙂

For those who say that cricket isn’t exciting, that was edge of the seat stuff 😀

Its good to christen the new western Aus stadium too! 😀

Its good to christen the new western Aus stadium too

The stadium England have a 100% record at, and Australia have lost every game they’ve played.

259 was quite a formidable target too

Woo Hoo found the TMS thread again!!

If anyone is after some quick fire action this morning the BBL Semi is on this morning Hobart are batting really well to start, should be a good game.

Also had a nice little chat with a bloke in an England tracksuit on the way from Heathrow to Newcastle tuesday morning, was pleased with the ODI performance but admitted the tests were hard to watch, probably more so from the coaching side
