According to former English test cricketer Ollie Robinson, the main score that the English team care about is the tv ratings rather than the actual cricket scoreboard

“We want youngsters growing up wanting to play the game the way that we play it, and that’s not going to stop just because we don’t have the urn,” he wrote in his column for Wisden.

“This is what we’re trying to create. This little moment in our career isn’t going to define us.

“We’ve seen the viewing numbers and they’re the highest they’ve been in a long time, and for us that’s really rewarding to see. People around the world and the country are watching and enjoying what we’re doing.

“Perhaps it seems that we’re trying to squirm out of it because we’ve not regained the Ashes, but for us as a team, we have to look to the future.”

You'd reckon this bloke would keep his head down seeing as England's form turned around the moment he got injured.

Now that the worst we can do is draw the series, I want five days of rain. Non stop, zero play.

Yeah yeah 3-1 would be better but imagine the shrieking Pommie tears

Not sure about bowling first (we won the toss).

India in the WC final wpn the toss and lost.

And last time......paine did the same.....
With the same worn out attack haze, Starc and Cummins.

2015 ashes Michael Clarke's last test cook bowled first and Australia won by innings.

Unless it's to put England off as they prefer chasing.

These dopes never learn

Lol doom and gloom muthaf**kers, we've retained the Ashes no matter what lah
Said same thing in 2019. I think was accepted more because of the 4 previous English tours where we got done.

I don't want another drawn series so the pricks can keep bleating about 2001.

By 2027 it will be a quarter of a century and heading into Parramatta premiership drought areas.
