This victory will do more harm to England than good..On paper series will be levelled and urn will be retained by Aussies but they are nowhere equal to Aussie team..

Nah I think they're much closer than what the stats suggest right now. SS will not have another series like this - you can bet on that & England will do better than this, at least at home next time. England have just as many problems as Oz, it's just that Oz played more like a team than England. Heck England's last win at home was the same - individual performance, by Curran, Woakes, Cook.

Why Starc is not in the team?

It's a miracle the series is this close despite England's feeble batting line-up. Stokes has covered up for it in two tests. That being said, the Aussie batting line-up sucks too, with Smith covering up for everyone else's ineptitude in EVERY single innings he has batted in.

Umpires continue to play for england.

Lyon has been very ordinary bar the second innings of T1 where Poms imploded chasing a gigantic target....

 

Lyon is playing with a finger injury

Paine is an idiot who is much worse in reviews than our desi maharathis. Should've taken that review against Denly when they were lagging behind in this game.

[Frustrated]

Aussies would be chasing about 500 run target.

 

Blessing in Disguise for them.

Good opportunity for Bradman Smith to score triple century !!   

 

[Stan AF]

Smith 750 runs & 10 catches.

Aus have lost this match now and seems like they have given up as well. Total well beyond smith's reach. Well done england hope warner gets out for another duck before series end.

[Nikola]

Hope this is last match for paine. Another plumb lbw not reviewed of buttler. Can't see such mediocre player playing in any international side and he is captain as well.

Smith is an outlier. His success doesn't mean others are inept.

Mediocre player and pathetic captain. Some of his decisions after winning toss in the series is just ludicrous. Win the toss, bat first, win the match. How difficult it is? Aussies has just gifted the match to England by bowling first.

Smith's reaction's like - Yeah you basterds. this is easier than batting for me.

[nevada]

1 wicket down already, just one more left for England. 400 seems too far now.
