Cummins f**k off back to Smugville. Carey you deadset potato. This team is garbage. Piss poor at every level. How do you get rid of JL and get worse???

Bed time. It'll be 3/350+ at stumps and these useless flogs will be staring at 2-2.

Kill it with fire!!!

 

[hineyrulz]

lol look at the field to Ali, i can't do this anymore i've never seen such negative gutless fields from an Aussie cricket side. Bazball has made these cowards shit themselves.

Least enjoyable ashes series. Do not even deserve to retain.

Overrated bowlers. Overrated batsmen.

 

[undertaker]

Why are these merkins smirking with the run rate over 5 and chances being spilled every other over.

Yep, and they're doing it with consummate ease.

 

[hineyrulz]

Singles singles everywhere!! And one of them can't run. 5 on the fence to an injured Ali lol. Cummins get a clue.

 

[some11]

Ali making our captain look like the cuck that he is.

 

[hineyrulz]

Yeah i'm out!! This is just braindead bowl at the stumps you deadset spanner.

 

[some11]

Murphy on, be must be looking forward to two overs before never bowling again.

Hard to believe he played 4 tests!

IIRC, all 4 were against South Africa in 2009. He was touted as Australia's answer to Andrew Flintoff, got picked for the 2009 Ashes squad but then vanished into cricketing obscurity after not playing during that series.

 

[icewind]

hmm..... how to take advantage of a batsman with a hamstring/groin injury.

hmmm....

Introduce spin and force Moeen to make the pace and use footwork with an injury? FECK NO!

Allow the batter to stand and deliver and use the pace? SURE!


WELL AS I SIT & TYPE!!! FINALLY!

 

[undertaker]

Yeah, fantastic captaincy from Cummins (*sarcasm*) to finally muster the courage to bring the spinner on when England are scoring at nearly 5.5 an over and two batsmen are set at the crease.

Murphy needed to be brought on back in the first session.

 

[undertaker]

And just like that, Murphy gets a wicket...

Why Cummins didn't bring Murphy on earlier back in the first session when England began cranking up the run rate is a mystery.

 

[undertaker]

Now, THIS is the opportunity for Australia to put the brakes on England and get back into the contest.

 

[some11]

He didn't even celebrate that wicket. I feel for him being brought on this late.

Cuckins has been seriously exposed this series.

 

[mozza91]

Well done to Murphy. He’ll lose his virginity very soon if he keeps getting wickets.

1 slip to the new LH bat to an RH offie

 

[undertaker]

Excellent bowling from Murphy. Completely changing the tempo. Broke the partnership, which is what mattered the most. I don't mind him conceding some runs as long as he takes wickets in regular intervals.

Hopefully Cummins has enough confidence to keep Murphy on, compared to what he did in the 4th innings at Headingley.
