Broad decimated us in 2011

 

Yea. I was referring to how easy the batting condition was when we pointlessly imploded on day 4. Pant once again stepped up for us.

One session and 149 runs. If Aus want, they can give it an attempt.

 

Either ways , I hope Pat Cummins gets Man of the Series. Crucial wickets and Crucial knocks plus had to captain a depleted bowling attack!!

Khawaja will get it. He has close to 500 runs. Cummins was overall ineffective. Infact whole Australian bowling was poor bar starc occasionally.

Head has couple of impactful innings, real reason for causing the team moral to go down. Sort of like Pant for us. Head killed us in WTC final as well

Since 2019  India will remain the only side to beat Australia in a Test series. Thrice.

When they are at the receiving end England shows their bazball wins and heal their wounds.

Rain gods favouring England again, this takes the win out of equation, battle of survival awaits.

Australia can take risk and go for win. But this team is not the usual Aussie side.

Eion Morgan interview about Hales with Nasser. Nasser is grilling why Hales kept getting sidelined even after come back.

It depends on how much time is left when play resumes, if less than 2 hours Aus would just try to survive till bad light.

Next ashes in England, only 3-4 current England players might be still playing.

Just saw the replay of Stokes dropped catch, started celebrating too early a la Gibbs and then spits on his own face

One mega session remaining after Tea.

[rageaddict]

52 overs to be bowled. 146 runs to win/defend. 

[vvvslaxman]

Woakes is in a different league compared to Andu in current form.

[coffee_rules]

They can take no risk with Mo Ali and still get 5 runs

[Norman]

Still can't believe they benched Woakes and Wood for the trundler duo of Clouderson and Robinson in the first two tests.

 

They would have definitely won the Edgebaston test atleast and this series would have looked entirely different.

[vvvslaxman]

Overall this Moeen selection proves to be pathetic.  Averaging 25 with bat 70 with ball. Went missing in two crucial moments. Can't blame him. It is fault of stokes to ignore domestic regulars.

Probably the most impressive bowler from both sides. But for several dropped catchecs his stats in this series would have been better. 

[coffee_rules]

52 became 47 overs. Bam!
