The England Cricket Thread

Think he should have caught that no? On the wrist, not exactly short.

Catchable but tricky

E: think he actually reacted too quickly

Broad is going out on a high here. Some cracking bowling.

Catchable but tricky

Very, very tough - the hardest chances in the slips are the ones you have to get forward to. So much easier to go a long way sideways than a little way forwards.

Broad will get the final wicket, you heard it here first.

 

[adidan]

Get Broad and Wood on together

 

[turbot1984]

Oh yeah. Brilliant Broad

 

[Mercenary Keyboard Warrior]

yay

 

[adidan]

Well done Stu

 

[SoliD]

Absolutely glorious! Didn't expect that at lunch. Great to see broad go out with his last ball as a hit a 6 and his last ball bowled a wicket.

GG broad and many thanks for all the wickets, what a player!

You said it!

Had to be

 

[manic111]

Woop woop!!! Didn't even fiddle with the bails there!

Called it. Well played England.

Looking back now how close it could have been to 5-0 to England.
They almost certainly should have won on balance.

But a 2-2 result considering everything, good result.

You must be psychic or something

Yeah, great series to watch overall

 

[SoliD]

Bairstow redeemed himself today. Some great catches this afternoon.

 

[Purdy]

Cool moment for Broad

Indeed, fine margins in those first 2 but England on top for big chunks of both and with a bit of patience could have easily won both with hindsight. Last 3 games England have been on top of the aussies for 75% of the time. But 2.2 is a fair result, could so easily have been a 3 1 loss which would have been ridiculous with the way the series has been played. Think England will learn/have learned a lot from this series and bazball v2 will no doubt be coming.

Ive never seen australia being so negative with the way they played through the series. Even when England were on top of them a decade ago and hey came out and played top cricket.

Best Ashes I've seen, as a series, since 2005. Fantastic
