Not sure I wholly agree but it is at least an argument.

FFS, he must have a fucking shitload of credit in the bank as recent form should have him out on his arse. Fucking stupid decision (I'm alright with it if he doesn't drop any catches and makes a match-winning knock though).

Women's ashes is now level. Great effort. Yeah outstanding stuff, Cross scooping one of the stumps near the end nearly gave me a heart attack when she started moving across  Great win that! |

Going to take something approaching a miracle for the England Women to win today's game. 283 needed, they're 151-5 and less than 20 overs left.
Edit: lost by three runs... Bugger.

Drew Ashes and first Australian ODI loss for 10 years
A good marker put down by the women for next time

The Smiths look pretty comfortable right now though. But maybe you'll get an early breakthrough after lunch!

A couple of really good reviews by England today With at least one of them, they should never have had to review.
Going very well for England now, cracking catch from Root to take out Head. Which sounds a bit rude.

Good set of Aussie middle-order scores.

Great bowling performance that... problem is in a must-win match with the forecast looking like it does, we needed to blast them out by tea yesterday really. I feel like we need to have the game won by end of tomorrow, which is very hard to see happening from this point.

It might be worth trying to score fast runs straight out of the blocks when we bat

It might be worth trying to score fast runs straight out of the blocks when we bat We need to bowl them out within the first few overs today then score about 500 before close of play  |

If this test gets rained off and England can't win the Ashes as a result, it'll be a stark reminder of why cricket is the dumbest sport

I remember you won a fairly recent Ashes series in England because a game got rained out. You might have won anyway, but yeah it kind of sucks when the big hooray moment is people not being able to play cricket.

Fwiw I really hate that about test cricket, and do not want to see this match end like that.

Draw here due to the weather then we might win the last test for a sort of face saving 2-2. Shame really but some very sloppy moments in the first two tests will cost dearly (mainly Bairstow shaped).

Great win that!
