Ashes 2015

[quokka77]

Australia accumulating well at 2/219 with Smith and Warner out chasing quick runs playing big shots. Chris Rogers' dizzy spell the only real cause for concern in the first session. Apart from an opportunity for the middle order to play themselves in, there's not much to see here.

 

[QF WP]

Australia have declared giving the Poms a mammoth 509 to chase.

 

[JohnK]

6 more runs and Rogers has 9 50s from last 10 innings

And tragedy strikes!

It was much better to watch Australia getting smashed in the First Test. The arrogance is back and it is embarassing.

 

[QF WP]

As I go to bed, looks like Australia has England teetering:

Wonder if the Poms will survive until the end of the day?

 

[Hvr]

Well they didn't. it's all over at Lord's. All out for 103. Australia wins by 405 runs.

 

[TheRealTMA]

Excellent. Good to see both teams playing to their potential finally.

 

[cove]

The Lords test was good for Australan batting and bowling statistics.

 

[QF WP]

Wow, the English capitulated after I went to bed:

 

[quokka77]

1-1 in four days. That's set up the series quite nicely. Lyon didn't have to bowl them out, and there was no day 5. Come on England, make a game of it in Edgebaston!

 

[SeatBackForward]

Did Watson amazingly still score 57?

 

[Warks]

And that, my friends, is what is known as a munting.

 

[moa999]

Johnson's run out of Stokes really said it all.

 

[JohnK]

Complete turnaround of form from First Test or was it just a case of low confidence for Aussies?

England looks gone. That performance was woeful. The demons are still there.

 

[moa999]

Midway during the innings the posted a chart of top order. Against Windies, NZ and Aus have been 3-5 down for about 50 apart from one game against Windies

Warner out lbw for 2.

 

[RB]

Warner out lbw for 2.

And wasted a challenge

Warner out lbw for 2.

No. No. No. Don't post within 30 mins of a result. We watch it on delay so we can FF to avoid the bloody adds every 3 mins. Haven't got to that yet!

i read AFF in the meantime. I could find that out from newspaper feeds which I avoid in real time.
