We're doomed. No hope of chasing 400-odd in the last innings of the last Test of the series. This mob is not the 1948 Invincibles at Leeds. We need a miracle but I think we used our quota up in the 4th innings at Edgbaston
For many players here, this will be their last Ashes Test in the UK. Both teams will look completely different in four years' time. Lots of much-needed new blood in the Aussie team hopefully which will include young Murphy The best thing? No more fucking Warner & Smith

I thought the same about Australia but maybe not as bad as we think I read the cricket part of an Australian website called The Roar. People submit articles and lots more punters comment on those articles. This one came out today Why Australia need to start regenerating ageing Test team now before it’s too late Some decent comments like this one on a positive note Quote:
Followed by the negative stuff. This one on Test cricket in general being a light of other days Quote:
And the same fella said this about Australian sport which is quite true Quote:

Meanwhile, back at The Oval, the Aussies have made a decent start to their innings. Our first 100+ opening stand since 2015 which shows how hard it is to win Ashes series away from home.
98 overs today assuming the weather is ok. So all set up for a fitting finish to the series. I still reckon Australia will struggle as usually not easy batting on 5th-day wickets. That said, England's bowlers are all getting on a bit so may struggle as well at the end of a long series played in a compressed time period. Let's see what happens
