You should attack the batsmen when they are new to crease. They wasted it.

They got complacent. Plus wicket honesty looks like a day 3 wicket. Also Cummins ain’t trusting Starc.

We  had our own brainfarts in Eng series. We gifted wickets to toothless Bashir then  a couple of needless run outs. Jaiswals stupid shot while chasing 191

 

That's why the series was so entertaining and lasted all 25 days in total.

Take this head out. Guy can’t even land in the rough

We lost because of his bowling lol  pant

This pitch is dead as a dodo. Only Starc with his pace should be able to do something on this wicket.

We are minnow level when it comes to playing spin. Cummins getting carried away.

Loss of Lyon is huge 

[kosingh]

Would not normally support England but I want the series to remain up for grabs as long as possible

Yea your good bowlers should not be fielding on the boundary.

[MK55]

Starc needs to be brought back ASAP. Needs to bowl 145 plus

Australia blew it in the morning.

Think Carey is the best keeper I have seen. In atleast last 20 years.

Any other result than a 5-0 is disappointing lol.
