2019 ASHES: 4th Test Australia v England, Old Trafford Sept 4-9

[Tommy Smith]

Congratulations Australia.

I bow down to the 2nd greatest batsman ever in Steve Smith. You are a marvel.

I used to hate, now I appreciate. Well not really 'hate', but the jingle sounds too good not to use.

Oh well, there's still loads to play for imo. Retaining the Ashes is one thing, but winning an Ashes series on the opposition's home turf is the true holy grail imo.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

We got de ashes.

What are the Ashes? Did they burn Wadey VIII of England or Prince Wadey Duke of York and Albany?

They burned Ashley Mallett's horse blanket and put it in John Snows beer bottle.

It was their most modestly priced receptacle

 

[Bazal]

First captain since Tugga to retain the Ashes in England.

Part Time Paine >>> Haters

 

[TheParraboy]

Fun Fact:

Last 10 ashes tests, poms have won only one and that was handed to them by both umpire and our inept fielding and drs decision making

 

[jargan83]

Great news to wake up to

 

[Eelectrica]

England have lost the ashes in series where Wade is our 3rd best run scorer. And a super sub our 2nd best.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

This has shades of 1989 about it, Australia win the ashes, I'm still losing my hair and the last piece of the puzzle: Canberra win the premiership

But the teams are even except for Smith...

Yeah - both teams batting line ups are suspect
Only other advantage is Australia's bowling line up (when Siddle isn't there)
One of the commentators said something like this last night:
If you are Australian you see off Broad and Archer then you get to face Overton/Leach/Stokes
If you are England you see of Hazlewood and Cummins - then you get to face Starc and Lyon

 

[bazza]

After this test Smith has overtaken Kohli for most career runs (with 12 less matches)
Less than 100 behind Root

 

[Bazal]

well that's that

never in doubt

A lot of bedsheets in clothes dryers this morning
