Good day to be at the beach if you're English in Sydney. Speaking of which, I'm off to the pool. It's starting to get warm here.

@antipodean 32 here according to the interwebs. Bullshit

Normal service has resumed and England are back to being a pile of rubbish. The Ashes rarely live up to the hype...

Hate to say it but the grumpy @Baron-Silas-Greenback was right, this series has been a dud overall.

The english have given runs to some really ordinary players this summer

Fucked up that there can be no hotspot, almost nothing on snicko and clearly missed the bat just by looking at it. How can that be enough to overturn?

Both Marshes at the crease and scoring freely. Talk about @NTA s worst nightmare

NTA

I'll organise a bombing run

This is some one-sided shit

If Steve Smith gets injured I’m sure Jimmy Anderson will be quick to lament the poor depth of Australian batting...

@no-quarter for the fans who pay for an entertaining contest sure

But the CA accountants might beg to differ. Lots of advertising, merch and hotdog sales while us peasants were watching open wicket batting practice for hours on end in Perth Melbourne and now Sydney

But fuck it, the Aus team did all that was asked of them so good on them

Ps Kerry OKeefe was once again the best commentator in world cricket

500+ runs on a highway and Jimmy Anderson has bowled 34 overs for 56 runs.

Impressive

booboo

Enjoyed the mid-pitch premature Marsh celebration and the Angry Lesbian's reaction in the stands.

Fuck it's gotta be hot out there. Was at the beach first thing and it was getting into the 30s when we left around 10.

Days above 40 are rare in the eastern suburbs. Sitting at home with the air con blazing. 42 outside.

But "feels like" is only 40.5 so all good :rolling_eyes:

Shaun Marsh obtains women from the same place he obtains cricket selection aka "how the fuck did THAT happen?"

That ball from Lyon to get Cook was superb

Aussie cricketers all have those plastic looking wives. Do they come from the same factory?
