    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.

    @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

        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:

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

                            Just saw the replay. That's reminiscent of Bracewell to Border back in the '80s.

                                      Root and Bairstow doing quite well - survive to lunch.

                                      Moeen Ali provided another short cameo - probably should have left him out - I would've.

                                      New ball will be the big test for England's hopes of saving the test. Due in five overs. If Root and Bairstow survive it, they're a fighting chance - not least because they'll still be together quite deep into the 2nd session.

                                      If the Aussies knock one of these two over with the new ball, it's hard to see anyone else good enough to dig in long enough to save the game.
