WOW just WOW!!!

Never expected that. Though Aussie would have shown more fight and have learnt from Edgbaston but for so many to be caught behind is crazy (or inept)

Hope we can bat out the rest of the day comfortably and then kick on tomorrow. Dont suppose they will capitulate quite as easily 2nd time round but predictions are becoming reckless (mine at least!!!)

Looking forward to seeing England retain the Ashes over the next couple of days.Then plan my trip for Dec 2017!!!

Nigel Farage wants to see the introduction of an Australian cricket based immigration system. All out within 2 hours....


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

Just finished watching the highlights and as good as Broad was, it was Root that brought the biggest smile to my face, effortlessly swatting their bowlers to all parts of the ground and making it look oh so easy. Talk about rubbing salt in the wounds.

I am enjoying this series immensely.

Barely found the time to watch any of it, live or highlights, to tell the truth. In fact, that's probably why we're doing so well!

Quoted from devs
Aussie bowling attack way better than ours as a unit
Think they will win quite comfortably
We lack a top class spinner - even an Ashley Giles who didn;t take many wickets but went for only about 2 an over and could hold an end up

Think their bowlers will put far more pressure on our batting than vice versa

Hope I'm wrong - but 4-0 to Aussies (one drawn)

Good bowling from us and some shockingly bad Aussie batting allowed us to romp home. Let's hope we batter them at the Oval as well!

I see it's our turn to be shite this Test and the Aussies' turn to look good. Good job we've already won the series.

Looks like it's going to be a ridiculously topsy-turvy series where every Test is a total hammering by one team or the other.
