Yeh their bowling has been top draw here, I don't have much issue with today, more issue with the hooking to set fields on a lifeless pitch, still can't get my head round that
 
Decent fightback this from Duckett & Stokes

I must say I've really enjoyed listening to Ponting and Taylor, really good commentators for Aussies

Got away with one there, honestly can't see why Starc's catch wasn't given

I suppose the argument would be that you can't use the ground as momentum for keeping the ball in your hand

He has grounded the ball, thems the rules

If he had some fingers underneath it would have been given but he didn't so there we go.

Yeh the more you see it the clearer it is, he uses the ground where as if he turned his hand there would have been a chance of a bounce out the hand because of momentum. That's a no no
 
They can't possible do it, can they? Hope that kills you and all that. Once we get under 200 needed, the pressure on both sides will ratchet up. And sadly Aus seem to handle the pressure better. They hustle better.

But...we have good batsman and they are missing their spinner... All to play for!
 
Ducket....his weakness is balls around or above his head. Seems to wave his bat at balls flying around his head, and eventually it got him out. Take inspiration from your name man!

Ah. Very big ask now. With Ducket there, we had genuine hope.
 
Ruined an interesting game. A 'run out' which was the end of the over with the Batsman walking to the other end. Shame as the game had a nice poise.

Ultimately stupid from Bairstow. England have given away too many of their wickets too easily. If they'd had greater composure not to hand over their wickets we'd we winning the Ashes.

The crowd are booing and so they should. Ruined a good days cricket. They've paid handsomely to watch cricket (not some technicality), and the game is now done. Bairstow should have said I heard "over". Just a shi1 way to conclude 5 days of cricket.

Aussies win at all costs for you !!

Even seeing the members in the pavillion getting into the scummers

Stokes though,what a man

I still believe we can do this !!
 
Australia better hustlers. Take your shoe off, so you can waste time and get to lunch.

England should not change sides at the end of the over until the Ozzie capitan has confirmed the ball is dead. All good faith is gone!
