She's diverse though so if they get rid of her they'll be accused of being racist AND sexist.
So she'll get another contract.
Her and Healy was a real low-light of the ashes after some of the great english commentators
The whole thing is awkward. Why do they need that panel, when all they talk is during the tea and lunch break with wickets in between. Really unnecessary. Feels forced.

Looks like an amazing win going off FOWs but from fairly early on this was a golden opportunity for Australia to go 1-0 up. Yesterday's effort by Stokes aside, none of England's bowlers were up for the challenge when the ball and pitch settled down. Familiar story. Comparatively our quicks+Lyon toiled like I hoped, even without much luck on day 2 they managed to keep things tight and not give the game away.
Standout moment today for me was Roy, he could've batted with a sandwich board and still would've missed that Lyno offie. Under-reported: I reckon Umpire Joel actually gave Bairstow out lbw (hence his slow reaction, processing the various possible appeals), no way he of all people saw it just clip the wristband. As for last night's declaration, waiting as long as Paine did predictably only made it easier for us to bowl them out. Patience pays off!

Lyon would probably have 3/55 by now with Wade keeping

He’s looking forward to them picking Archer lol
Unchanged!
You've obviously never done a calf.
Anderson could hardly walk.
No way he plays the next test.

Healy shouting out "GOAT" at the end of a conversation after a wicket was one of the stranger things I've heard too. Just out of nowhere, and whilst true, was something a simpleton would do. Slurred and weird

Fair effort for Lyon to get 350 test wickets - only three other Aussies have done that in history. And he is still pretty young too (31) coming into his prime. Should get 500 from here.

Anyway great win, I had to hop on a plane just after lunch when they were 3-down. Had a cheeky glance at the phone when the plane was still grounded and it had jumped to 5 down. Not surprised to land and see we walked in it from there.
The planets are aligning for our first Ashes retention (or win) over there since 2001. Win at Lords and it’s going to be very hard for England to get back from there. Still work to be done though. Warner has been like a cat on a hot tin roof and Bancroft’s technique isn’t up to scratch. Khawaja is still a tease. Lord Steven can’t score a century every single time (well he probably can in this form) so the top 3 will need to pull their weight next time round. Loving the consistency of Head, Wade looked delicious at 6 and bowling depth is least of our concerns.

The English supporters must hate the sight of him and I mean, really hate the sight of him. I know how I felt during Cook's run over here in 2010/11 and Smith is well ahead of that.
So garden variety Healy then...
I wish people would stop complaining about Paine. He's handled a difficult job with aplomb.

I think England will create wickets with more juice for the seamers now as this pitch didn't work for them. The problem that may have for them is our quicks will likely cause their batting all sorts of grief on those wickets also.

They are off to a flier the Poms
- get thumped in a test they had the opposition 8/120 in the first innings in
- captain questions Smith record in England ,Smith makes back to back tons
- Roy spits towards Aussie crowd
- don’t shake hands at start of play
- pick Anderson who lasts 4 overs
Think they may haves got a little ahead themselves before this series .....

We just have to keep grounded as lots of cricket still to be played, was a fantastic win but we also won 1st tests in India 2017 and South Africa 2018 and went on to lose both those series.
And us picking Starc... So they can be 3/400 after 20 overs...
