Archer's wicket summed it up today for me. You wouldnt see it in the park.

It was Stokes' dismissal for me, what the hell was he trying to do?

So today is the day when we officially lose the Ashes. I reckon they'll set us 380ish and we'll be all out for about 170.

Literally falling over balls in the field and watching them sail to the boundary.

Yep - add that to the list. I'm predicting a 10th wicket partnership of 40+ today to make a full house.

I reckon England will be all out by the end of the day but I understand that it isn't a particularly bold prediction.

So England just need to bat in a completely different way to how they've been doing it for years? No worries.

Blimey, this is going reasonably well!

Yes I am trying to jinx Denly, the worst thing in the long term that can happen is that he scores a fifty and stays in the team for years.

Excellent reverse-mockers mate. Well played.

Also - good work keeping the thread silent for the past three or four hours, team.
