Every 4 is 1% of the target.

I’m confused with your logic; to take 20 wickets over two innings over a number of matches? Jim Laker took 19? How has he taken nearly 700 wickets when the ball doesn’t swing?

Same way batsmen’s run aggregate goes up when they aren’t making 50s and 100s.

If it means that much to you, fine, but anyone that has ever watched him and made a proper neutral analysis knows he’s a very intelligent bowler who is accurate but relies on swing to be at his best, and when it’s not swinging, he simply is just a good, decent bowler.

At least Davey gets a boundary off Broad in their last contest....if you can call it a contest

 

[Jimthegreat]

Going 6 an over............bazball!!!

 

[Peter Bixley]

I don't get the scale of the negativity at all. We might collapse for a sub-200 score before tea but I have not seen any evidence of this all tour. We're up against it because the pattern has been set batsmen not going on after getting starts, not flashing outside off and crumbling for 140 after 40 overs.

 

[showusyacunningt]

Just 95 more of those

 

[Around the Wicket]

I would honestly go as far as saying if Bairstow wasn't keeper this series they get a outright win

 

[JackOutback]

This is all set up for Australia to chase 384 at 4-plus an over and break the whingers.

 

[The King!]

6 an over be done and won by tea

 

[Mr Meow]

England just played with a 'nothing to lose' mentality....

Wish we did the same but clearly wont...

Well they did have nothing to lose. They already lost the Ashes.

 

[PhatBoy]

Nah mate.

Australia have a free hit and should take it.

England have left the door open for Australia

I don’t recall saying otherwise

 

[Peter Bixley]

Yeah, piece of cake

We've done it once already in this match.

 

[The King!]

pitch still seems good to bat on

 

[Foucault1989]

Every 4 is 1% of the target.

Can you please tick down the percentages for us? That'd make me feel safe

More to do with the pitches then anything, there all been flat

 

[The King!]

England also talking like Broads just out here to finish his career today with a win

 

[eddiesmith]

Ali is out there fielding?

 

[Foucault1989]

I'm not far off that and for the same reason ha ha, it's been an investment

It's been the best series in 18 years. I'm sad to see it finished. Thoroughly enjoyed watching this contest. I'll remember this ashes forever

 

[Santana]

Don't listen to the naysayers Anderson. You've got one more tour down here in you mate.

 

[Santana]

Ali is out there fielding?

Yes

 

[jmac70]

How come Murphy can score runs but our batsmen can’t

Another stupid generalisation from you.

 

[Kappa]

Another stupid generalisation from you.

This feels like bullying Jmac. Are you a bully?
