Disappointed to see Root tossing off his wicket. With the so called fab 4 of Williamson, Smith, kholi and root the other 3 would never surrender their wicket. Whether it’s his first or 300th ball can always get him out.

England return to type. Loose wafting at the worst ball bowled today.

I do hope they are going to show World Cup 2019 highlights on the cricket channel tomorrow.

Gifted them 2 wickets after lunch. It’s the hope that kills.

Here comes the infamously long batting tail. ?

Stupid from archer. He had one job. Stokes clearly had a word with him but still persisted with the slogging. 

[Husky]

Archer continues the idiocy. No need for that with Stokes still there. ?

[matt83]

They keep mentioning his heroics in the super over. Im sorry but for all we got the result that was a terrible 6 balls. Got bloody carted about and even bowled a wide.

The indiscipline running through the team seems to stem from a weak captain/backroom set-up.

A bit like when a football manager loses the dressing room.

Heroes to zeros in 6 weeks.

Yeah it's annoying that - talk about being blinkered. A decent over goes for less than 10.

You haven't bowled a heroic over just because you end up not losing. Otherwise going for 27 off the last over when defending 28 could be considered heroic etc.

You’d think he bowled a triple wicket maiden they way they deify it.

Great 100 for stokes will be such a tragedy it’ll be in a heart breaking losing cause. 

[matt83]

4 6 6. 21 required. This will be so cruel 

[matt83]

8 to win. 1 wicket.

Lyon!!!!!!!!!! Knight that man

[matt83]

An over at leach though. 

[Husky]

OH!

MY!

FUCKING!

GOD!

 

[matt83]

Never in doubt ?. We were down and out. Unbelievable 

[matt83]

Best isolated England win I’ve ever seen

[K-Hod]

Absolutely incredible. 

Get Ben Stokes a pint!

[Husky]

Praise be to The Ashes Cricket subscription.

LOL. When are the highlights on?

[matt83]

I think that was better than the World Cup win.

[RevidgeBlue]

Best since Botham's Ashes in 1981 at the same ground. One day cricket doesn't even come close.

Helped having a tame umpire though!

Absolutely fabulous win. One of the greatest finishes to a test match ever.

reading the last days posts on here (including mine) is wonderful.
