The Ashes. Fifth Test Australia v England @ Blundstone Arena, Hobart, 14-18 January 2022

Boland simply has to get man of the series

I reckon I have at least 25-30 years left on this marble, and I don't think I will ever see the Poms win back the Ashes, their test team is woeful and by all accounts their county set up is a shambles. I think there could be a better chance of them being relegated to the second tier.

It only takes a couple of years to rejuvenate a set up.

You'll see them win it back, we have to play in England after all, and Australia will certainly have series with weak batting lineups.

Head would be a chance MOTS in a low scoring series, most of the pitches were bowler friendly

I give it to Starc 3, Head 2, Boland 1.

Mainly give it to Starc he performed in the first 3 tests, when Australian won the Ashes, Head would be stiff

Head or Boland for Man of Series?

Cummins

Some of those 90s sides were possibly worse in terms of quality but this is the one that's showed the least ticker absolutely.

Wasn't alive so wouldn't know but you always hear about the fight that both teams show during the ashes no matter the quality they have. England had none this series, most expected them to lose but it was just the manner in which it unfolded.

No Moeen no England.

MOTM specialist fielder Nathan Lyon

Passenger this Test but the main man the next 9 Tests.

 

[FreoRicci]

0-68 to all out for 124. Awful.
Wonder how that ranks amongst worst touring England teams in history. Has to be up there

 

[Bedi]

I got Boland as MOTS.

he's so humble he'll be shitting himself right now in case he gets it

 

[Acinath]

After the first 4, pathetic from England. Stokes in particular, supposed to be a senior member of that team and threw up that.

 

[nickcat0]

Burns ..... bowled Green ...... 26

And the collapse to 153 all out begins

You heard it here first

I may have been a little bit optimistic.

No Moeen no England.

No Grace no England

Their bowling has largely been ok, and very good at times.

Hard when you have a batting side struggle to get to 200.

Bowling has been just as bad too much samey types. No wonder Wood has been their best bowler by miles

 

[11kgm]

Jesus you are a miserable twat.

19 wickets
38 with the bat.

Jog on campaigner.

one more test
and plenty of not outs twat

 

[Marcel Proust]

If Green didn't struggle with the bat so often throughout the series he'd be a man of series option, numbers with bat and ball are good.

He had similar numbers to everyone else with the bat outside of head and bossed it bowling / field ...

 

[ep2018]

Sydney weather cost us 5-0

 

[scottywiper]

Lyon didn't bowl but had a better match than Warner.

Maybe the Women's Ashes series will be more competitive.

 

[Gough]

On a bummer, that's the end of free to air international cricket on tele this summer.

 

[Garf]

Thank God that train wreck of a series is over. In the end England gave as much as a stuff about it as I did.

At least they came out here.

 

[footyfan1978]

We get bowled out for 180 and them bowled out for 115 ?

155 and 124....

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Boland simply has to get man of the series

Depends gut feel says Head or Starc

 

[Kuuz]

Best line so far on English forums:

"Wood is a good friend of someone I know"

"Good pickup line"

 

[Jimthegreat]

Huge series from our bowlers, crazy to think Warnie took 40 poles in 2005, our best this series has been about 20 odd?

All been shared around. The 5 bowlers got between 13 and 20 wickets.

 

[ImissFrosty]

Tough MOTS

Honestly a toss up for me between BOLAND and Starc. Wouldn't be mad if Head got it either, Cummins could get it too
