2015 Ashes

Smith should be given out for playing that stupid shot.
Great innings though

[bennymacca]

wow that was close. Fair to give that out imo.

Great innings by smith

[Jim05]

Tubby it aint " a little unlucky" when you play a reverse sweep

[mal]

Stupid shot by Steve East Coast Smith
Tried a reverse sweep ,missed, out LBW 215
He thought he could reverse sweep like Glenn Maxwell

[helicopterking]

that looked plumb, taylor reckons it hit outside the line

It looked out to the naked eye.

Just a crap way to get out after all that effort.

huge effort tho. Well played.

[The Dark Knight]

Tubby talking absolute rubbish lol.

Well batted Smudge!

16 runs needed by Johnson to get to 2000 test runs. And six needed for Nevill for a half century, good start to his test career

[The Dark Knight]

wow that was close. Fair to give that out imo.

Great innings by smith

It hit him outside the line though haha!

[Jim05]

Now Nevill throws his wicket away to these plonkers.

[The Dark Knight]

Nevill out for 45. Damn it! Would of loved to see him get a 50, well batted though looked pretty solid.

[bennymacca]

Pretty clear the instruction has gone out to throw the bat. Smith and nevill changed their tune completely

[The Dark Knight]

Come on bring Jimmy back on so he can get to his 100, stranded on 99 at the moment!

[JK]

You ******* beauty!!

[Jim05]

Nevill with a catch second ball. Lyth clueless again to Starc 1/0

[JK]

4/30 Johnson gets Root .. That was vintage Mitch, set him up with pace and menace, then give him a quick one to flick at outside off

[The Dark Knight]

Just woke up to check the score and I was very pleasantly surprised! What a great position we've got ourselves in, great start by the three quicks.

Stumps days two

Australia 8/566 dec from 149 overs

England 4/85 (was 4/30 when Root fell)
Johnson 2/16 from 6 overs
Hazelwood 1/22 from 10
Starc 1/29 from 7

[JK]

4/88 probably doesn't do justice to how well we bowled last night, the paceman were causing all sorts of problems every over for the Poms. Whilst he might have had a bit of luck at times Cook showed some fair spine.

And not for the first time. When England struggle, that's when Cook steps up. I reckon he's the next Kallis, Sangakarra in terms of getting due recognition about his abilities late in his career. I think he's already England's all time leading run scorer. Despite his first test flop I still rate Cook as the key wicket.

Did I hear correct though that apart from that 'one' series we he scored 435213 runs he hasn't average over 30 in any other ashes series, or did I dream that

[Ron Burgundy]

Yeah they said last night he average 125-ish in one ashes series. But in the other 4 he has averaged between 24-28.

[Jim05]

Mankad the prick Josh!
