I think he retired years ago!!?Does ANYBODY in the world want to be in Chris Broads shoes at the moment?
Freudian slip. If Stuart batted like his dad we would’ve been fine. ?I think he retired years ago!!?
Defiant attempt by the England tail, shame it wasnt quite enough .... Match over, Ashes lost
now watch England absolutely muller the Aussies at the Oval (in three days time)
Only if an English coach is good enough and actually wants the job. Remember we’ve got Ashley Giles at the top of the tree and I’m not convinced he’s not a major part of the current problemsAll over. Very predictable win for them.
The selectors need to wake up. Big changes needed with yhe batting. And tell Bayliss he can go now.
English coach next please.
Good postNot a betting man but I’d go the opposite, Sarge. Innings victory for the Aussies, I reckon.
Australia have been on the wrong end of those close games - Edgbaston 2005, Cardiff 2009, Trent Bridge 2015 - Old Trafford 2005 they held on though. Despite that latter one, they are deserving of coming out on the right end of one of the nailbiters.
Be honest, they’re better than England especially since they have Steve Smith. They’re by no means a classic side or a particularly good one in the current crop of Test sides but they are better than this England side who, unlike the ODI side, lack an identity or a mindset to win against the very best.
A lot of thinking to do.

I disagree. I think some are underestimating how good Australia are. They have 3 excellent seam bowlers (2 fantastic ones) and probably one of the best 3 off spinners in the world (he hasn't played at his best thank goodness)Not a betting man but I’d go the opposite, Sarge.

Steve Smith getting that bang on the bonce was a significant turning point. It brought Labuschagne into the Australian team and he want on to contribute with bat, ball and in the field.
