I know he was inside the boundary but once he stepped out, he should be not out.

 

The fielders have become very good with this move.

 

Which should be rewarded,not penalized.

Australia batted 48 overs more than England and took a lead of 15 runs. Smith regrets not taking bigger lead. lol 

 

Overs don't matter,lead does. Infact England bowlers and fielders will be tired now.

Yes. But they could have scored a little faster and added 50 to 60 runs more. They were idling around in the first session. Labu and Khawu

Wicket eased later on. Earlier it was tough. This is proper Test approach.

Amount of overs bowled by england will surely affect some % of match result cause they have to bowl again in 4th innings and they way england bat they won't give them longer rest time. If ali is injured it puts huge workload on 4 seamers who don't have age on their side.

This man "Jimmy".....

 

He has used up the new ball with the shine in every inning that he has played this series. Has he got a single wicket using the new ball in this series? I doubt it.

Ali seems more oft injured than not.

 

Having said that - they will have tonight off and then I think England will bat most of the day tomorrow so they should have another night tomorrow before the full 4th days play and that should be enough rest i.e 2 full nights.

The last time Eng won an ashes series was in 2015.   It has been almost a decade of Aus retaining it.  The pattern has been quite familiar since 2015.  Eng drawing the ashes series at home and getting humiliated(whitewashed) downunder everytime.

Eng will have to wait till 2027 to think about winning Ashes. That will be 12 years gap. 

 

It will be 2nd longest wait to win Ashes. Longest was 1987-2005 wait.

Sunday's weather is awful. Rain all day.Another boring draw. 

Who is the player of series for this long Ashes contest?

Duckett barely leaves anything...  Antithesis to be successful in England. 

Plays mostly on the backfoot too.

Though has a solid defence. 

Likes of Kishan can learn a lot from his batting

They give two MOTS in England,.one from each team 

 

So its Johnny Bairstow from Australia and David Warner from England
