Much like 2014 was Johnsons series, this is Starc series. He looks ungetouttable

Carey is brilliant. Aus somehow managed to scrape through to 300 plus most times

He is as much an allrounder as Stokes in Ashes.

 

Stokes in Ashes: 1639 runs @ 34, 49 wickets @ 36                    

 

Starc in Ashes: 727 runs @ 26, 115 wickets @ 25

with the ball turning Lyon will run through the Bazzballers.

100-4 was the only chance Eng had. Once they scored close to 280,it was all over. Starc is still batting. Won't be a surprise if Aus score 350

Carey the match winner. We play one of Jhandeja,Sundar,Reddy at that place and pathetic tail..lol

Are the Aussies cheating with the snicko?

England bowling attack is so bad , other than Archer on his day, they don't have any bowlers.

Aussies in good posiion despite missing smith. 

 

Carey is very underrated. I don;t know why they are playing Inglis though

[vvvslaxman]

Disciplined tailenders.

Inglis is a very high risk player.  They should have gone with webster who plays a simple boring cricket.
