1st Ashes Test England v Australia June 16-20 1930hrs @ Edgbaston

[samFFC]

Adelaide 92/93, Pakistan 94, the oval 97, another one in India 2010.

Only close ones we have won I can think of recently are Bangladesh by 3 wickets 2006 and SA 2011, Cummins first test.

Cummins also hit the winning runs in that test, similar chase total and we won by 2 wickets then as well I believe.

Yup

No surprise Moeen went missing when it counted given he retired two years and picked and chose when he was available. Ridiculous the English media go so easy on him.

Melbounre 82, Adeleade 93, England 2005 yeah sooooooo close,

 

[Moonwatcher]

brought the rum out. Work be damned

Stop LOL

 

[ams4crows]

Cummins and Lyon!!! Bloody awesome

 

[kenneje]

I can feel it. This team is on the precipice of greatness. What an unbelievable win. Proud to be an Australian today.

 

[Lia]

I like Atherton but he is on some serious copium about England having the running of the game.

 

[10Dulkar]

THAT LYON FOUR OFF BROAD!!!!!

Yes, I am still pumped.

My gf slept right through that but fair play she never grumbled either at my excitement.

 

[The Casey Cat]

Stokes saying no regrets about the declaration as he sensed an opportunity to pounce on Australia.

Kidding himself. Possibly the biggest road ever seen for a test in England and they didn't even have 400 with more than 4 days left to play. Was arrogant and idiotic, and ultimately cost them the game.

Melbourne 82/23 (Border, Thompson) another close loss

Was in qld then , last wicket 9 was running a bunnings ad?

Amazing Adelaide would have to be considered a close one.

 

[pugsville]

How did they respond?

We're not a team that dwells on the past. or words to the effect.

 

[10Dulkar]

TMS and Analyst pods will be great listening tomorrow morning.

 

[Outshined]

Lyon?

Lyon and Cummins both immense but slightly behind Khawaja across both inning imo.

Both still crucial though, absolutely. That + Carey's first innings knock and great keeping.

 

[Iceman!]

 

[troybe]

Loved the way Australia went about it, didn’t get sucked into the cult and played our own game and way. Well done boys

 

[Struggle]

Special mention to the 23 no balls. We couldn't have done it without you. How hard is it to stay behind a line?

 

[Mr Meow]

Stop LOL

Let him cook.

 

[peternorth]

this whole 'more eyes on the ashes' angle is quite bizarre.

It is akin to people who say they don’t care about a loss in sport, or and don’t care how the upcoming exam will go. They care.

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

After India’s tail Embarassing their top order and beating us seems we’ve done the same.

Cummins Lyon Boland genuinely saved us not unlike Axar Jadeja and Ashwin ****ing us in the BGT.

Meanwhile the top order except Khawaja were deplorable

 

[Iceman!]

Anyone who ever calls him captain woke again is a bum

 

[Mr Meow]

Bizarrely, after the block-block-block fest leading to Carey's wicket, it was Bazball that got our pep back initially.

 

[MinerBoy]

Kidding himself. Possibly the biggest road ever seen for a test in England and they didn't even have 400. Was arrogant and idiotic, and ultimately cost them the game.

They got caught up in themselves. Completely arrogant and helped harden our resolve IMO.

Was Cummo man of the match?

 

[10Dulkar]

Spare a thought for the surgeon(s) who put Cummins back together again.
It's still remarkable he has played 50 tests never mind to the astonishing standard he has with what he went through.
I still remember him turning up at a club 3rds/school ground in Belfast to play many years ago.
