An overall observation ........ Are we watching two evenly matched teams or two average teams about to reach their peaks?

I wonder if what we're seeing is the full impact of T20 on test cricket.

IMO it's better for it.

Who would you want to pay to see, Boycott or Warner?

Very fair point! And the latter by a long way!
 
60 all out. Blimey.
 
Now watch England get all out for 40.
 
Eleventy one balls!!!
 
Ridiculous - 60 all out in 18.3 overs

only England are allowed to do that!!!!

Extras was the top scorer for the Aussies!
 
If the Aussies lose, pity the poor b****r when they land back in Oz
 
I spotted elsewhere that they're rumoured to have applied for asylum here...

Shouldn't really gloat but it's not often we get the chance!

When i lived in Amsterdam I regularly watched the Dutch cricket team ......... they need to apply for asylum there, the Dutch are really tolerant

PS - we haven't won yet!!!!

True, THEY (the England players, not US!) haven't won yet but surely even THEY can't throw it away now?

Chipper, I think a couple of the bats have chips off their shoulders but the Australian owners want to keep those for theirs!
 
England have declared.... that Australia are rubbish.

331 lead - should be enough :)
 
Probably not, especially if you're Australian!

Mind you, there was almost a Starc reminder that the Aussies still have some teeth...
 
Well what can I say? Very very pleased to be proved wrong, England have had 3 fantastic games with a reasonably young & inexperienced team coming together with some great performances.

The icing on the cake would be to win at the oval too :D
 
All done in 40 minutes.

Now, when will the ECB realise that we shouldn't play at Lords any more, we always seem to lose there :)

So the C5 highlights show this evening will be showing it all?! ;)
 
They took 62 balls this morning ... less than 10 overs and Notts CCC would have had to refund all today's ticket money, not just half :LOL:
 
Fantastic series. Who says test cricket is boring?
 
I was surprised as they walked around the pitch afterwards, to see the dozen or so Secret Service style chaps around them. Earwigs, shades, constantly scanning the crowd.
Rather chilling!

One looked about 16 ;)
 
5th Test Day 1........ To be honest I'm still in shock at going into this test 3-1 up and not thinking "I hope they don't beat us 5-0".

Reckon it was a good toss to win with conditions playing to England's bowling strength but if we don't make it count I wouldn't want to be chasing a big 2nd innings total at the Oval.
