Wonder if the first innings declaration going to bite England , another 20 or 30 runs from Root and the tail there , could make a difference here

How many catches have England dropped in this test ?

 

[sand_man]

Too many.

Didn't expect Aus to get this far after Usman and Carey fell.

Didn't expect Aus to get this far after Usman and Carey fell.

In all fairness, they are currently the best test team in the world. Recently won the championship against India.

What a match

 

[Speedster]

Well played Pat Cummins. Well played Australia.

 

[Dan C]

If he does cry, 1 ply toilet paper or twin saver tissues won’t help, to thin not enough grit, 3M 40 grit course could help.

Guess a lot of England supporters are crying now.

 

[Agent_Smith]

Cracking end to the match. Tone well and truly set for the rest of the series.

 

[Whright]

Three things I wish England do for the remainder of the ashes test series:

1. Continue with baz ball
2. Learn how to take catches.
3. Find a decent spinner with tougher fingers.

Yes

 

[Whright]

Well played Auz.

 

[SlowInternet]

Great test match, well played Australia.

 

[Creag]

Good game. Sets this up for a really riveting series.

They would have won hands down if not for the highlighted

Not all England supporters might be crying, but Englishman, We are crying.

 

[Creag]

Spare a thought for Aussies back home staying up into the wee hours to see the end of an amazing match

Well one thing I can say, is that the crowd stayed around. Not sure if they were too drunk to understand what was going on.

 

[sand_man]

What a great test match?!! Wow!

Looks like it's going to be an amazing series!

 

[Neoprod]

Fitting that the one batsman playing properly is on the winning side and got MotM.



Great game. Looking forward to seeing whether the English keep preparing Sharjah ODI pitches or we get a greentop somewhere.

ps. I was not paid by James Anderson to ask that.
