if we do win the Ashes I might agree

I wonder what the Australian public just waking up will think after expecting to have retained the Ashes?
― Thus Spoke Darraghustra (Oor Neechy), Sunday, 25 August 2019 21:21 (four years ago) link
The players have been really magnanimous though. They accepted the LBW wrong call and admitted it was their own fault for wasting that review but I wonder how the press will accept it.
― Thus Spoke Darraghustra (Oor Neechy), Sunday, 25 August 2019 21:23 (four years ago) link
this was pretty good but of course they still can't resist the temptation to mention that Stokes was born in NZ https://www.theage.com.au/sport/cricket/we-can-all-die-happy-now-cricket-doesn-t-get-any-better-than-this-20190826-p52knk.html

Like the way everyone here just applauded how great Smith's been (comparing to Bradman) I think they will just stand back and admit it's one of he greatest innings ever.
Shame its not on council telly for everyone to watch

This must be the highest successful run chase ever for a team bowled out under 100. How on earth did England win after being bowled out for 67? It just doesn't happen. It only happens for other teams against England. Never happens for us. We better not to back to old habits though. Surely the players know they need to just grind out the runs and dont give up their wickets cheaply. Dont make me shout at them again!

Getting beyond a joke now this England/Smith thing.

This would be a good Test to draw

it would be a miracle. They only happen once in a lifetime.Can you see anything other than an England collapse? They got lucky in the last test which papered over the cracks.

They got lucky in the test before that you mean, when Smith got it in the neck.

I just wish Joe Root could go out there and hit a triple century tomorrow

wow Root edged and neither Paine or Warner went for it. Lucky!
― Thus Spoke Darraghustra (Oor Neechy), Friday, 6 September 2019 16:05 (four years ago) link
Root has found it so hard to convert 50s to 100s since becoming skipper. It's very worrying cuz we need a double ton from him.
― Thus Spoke Darraghustra (Oor Neechy), Friday, 6 September 2019 16:06 (four years ago) link
Root now injured after being struck on the back leg (Australia reviewed for LBW but it was missing)

and root will remain captain, his batting will stink because of it and nothing much will change over the next few years as the ECB prefer the money from One Day and T20 games and this silly new competition

Without those two wickets there might have been a chance, but now it looks beyond them.

Root has to stand down or be sacked as captain. Hi batting has been affected badly and he's not a good captain and his Ashes record as skipper is appalling. He's lost 2 series.
But the buck mustn't stop there.
Just watch the ECB do nothing and watch it all happen over and over again

Congrats to steve smith for single-handedly winning the Ashes
Australia (or at least Smith) clearly the better side over the series, but at least that was a battling and spirited performance today. England are short a few batsmen and a spinner.
