Great game. Great drama. Credit due to Australia. Could have gone either way. Can't do with bore draws. And looking forward to the next one. Series is not over. Now over to You tube. C'mon Yorkshire.
Some woeful captaincy. Ashes are gone not gunna win 3 out of 4 with our piss poor bowling attack. Anderson is a legend but finshed now. Robinson and ali couldnt bowl me out.
This win will give the Aussies a huge boost and we next go to Lord's where they will raise their game again. Huge pressure on England now.
That declaration for me was ill judged, showed lack of respect & arrogance. Gutted, I hope we learn from this
if we’d took 2 wickets though…. Stokes try’s to win, every decision, every field change is all about trying to win, it’s a massive mindset change that won’t always work, fair play to him
Where am i wrong apart from couldnt bowl me out. Jimmy is a legend but 40 now. Robinson is slow for a quick bowler and ali was shoehorned in somehow surely there must be a better spin than him in england.
Stokes trying to be too clever cost England that match should have taken Root off once Carey was out and taken the new ball instead the Aussies scored 14 off roots last over and got the momentum back.
It’s the same tripe when Barnsley lose… all rubbish, I’d do better etc etc. usually 10 seconds after the game. It’s been a brilliant game, we might win the next, jimmy might get a few wickets too
Not the track for Jimmy. In hindsight should have played Wood, but hindsight's a wonderful thing. Don't worry Anderson's still got something to offer in this series.
Spot on, its damned if you do damned if you don't. Previous captains have been hammered for being too negative. It's sport both teams are trying to win. The rash over reaction of people to loss is likely just down to emotion.
Going to be a great series I reckon, hopefully to match 2005. We lost the first game in that series too.
Root got Carey’s wicket and Stokes had kept him on after the new ball was due so he must deserve some credit for that ? We lost a very close game against the current world champions but our performance showed that we were a fair match
Architect's of their own downfall. Couple of strange decisions, the declaration and keeping root on spring to mind aided by some poor keeping by Bairstow. Only 1 game though but can't afford to let the Aussies get 2 up
They've got a better side than us . Who would get in their side ,Joe Root and Harry Brook for sure but no body else.
Good God, we lose one test and we aren’t coming back from it this series, get a grip will ya. Poor selection cost us this end of, Moeen obvs or up to the rigours of test bowling , Bairstow too rusty behind the stumps, yes other one off mistakes and the daft declaration , but we can easily come back.
