The Ashes: Australia in England 16th Jun - 31 July

[meninblue]

Harry out for 75. Bad shot selection that making it incredibly difficult to execute it with control.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Surely England cant duff this up now

If Brook gets out around now the balance of the game would swing right over to the Aussies.

Woah!

[meninblue]

England win by 3 wickets.Well played by both teams.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Well done Woakesy. And particularly Harry Brook.

Woakes is a cert for POTM.

What about Wood?

[Arthur Crabtree]

Good match for Cummings and Starc, but Boland not contributing again. Maybe a change there.

Runner up.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Don't know they still have POTM. It's not on the BBC scorecard.

sighs of relief all round

Wood won it according to Cricinfo

[Arthur Crabtree]

I think it was voted for by Durham members though.

Ha ha !

Our next squad/team will be interesting. Top six will be the same won’t it, just the bowlers.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Wood had an excellent game and invigorated the attack and got the crowd up for it.

But Woakes took 6/6 top seven wickets. Wood took 2/7 top order wickets. And Woakes played a crucial innings to win the game when the momentum was moving against England.

But fair enough, Wood is a decent pick.

Well done Woakesy. And particularly Harry Brook.

What about Wood?

think it's fair to say that both will play at OT, niggles permitting.

Does that mean Robinson misses out for the last two tests? I have no idea about the nature of his injury. Does that open the door for Potts?

Broad is comfortably England's leading wicket taker in this series, so does that mean he keeps going?

How has Mo's finger held up in this match and has he become the number 3 fall guy to protect Rook and Brook?

Ando 3 wickets @ 75's for this series. Didn't seem to trouble the Aussies too much in the first two tests. Does the injury to Robinson open the door for him to return? Would he return anyway?

Given how much worse his keeping is compared to Foakes, is Young Jonny Blameless' 141 runs @ 23 good enough to justify his place in the side?

lots of questions
