Kicks off next month with the news that Cummins is likely out of the first test and possibly most/all of the series. That helps. |  |

Same old Crawley gifts his wicket away really annoying as this is as lightweight an Aussie bowling line up as I can remember |
For perfect illustrations of gifting one's wicket away, may I suggest that we look at some of Brook's recent exhibits. Today's being another case in point. Way worse than Crawley's.
Watching Brook's bat has me wondering whether all is well. He's batting so erratically and could have got himself out on a few other occasions prior to his actual dismissal in today's innings, by playing in such a carefree manner.
He's a much better player than the one that's currently on show.
Agree about the weak Aussie bowling line-up. [Post edited 4 Dec 8:43]

TNT and commentators making such a fuss over the pink ball and how we are in trouble, we seem ok, 206-4 , root and stoke settled and so far no dramas , last session and much to play for. 52 overs, an out of shape ball Aussies want changed but umps have not, yet.
the Lions may not be roaring and chasing the prey, but they are not asleep just being sensible and wanting for the right time to pounce. | | | |

I mean after this, we have Smith, Jacks, Atkinson, Carse all can bat, but i always worry still a collapse is on the way....
Decent position at the moment, especially after being 5 for 2. |  |

FFS Stokes, why try that run? They were treading water and now we have let them right back into it.
...and now Smith has just been bowled.

Dickheads….complete dickheads sometimes.
Get in, looking better and then one stupid run out exposes a new batsmen and you lose two wickets.

Dreadful from Stokes, just bat through the session nothing stupid and England have a great chance, now look like they'll be lucky to get to 300 |  | | |

Only started watching the last hour since Will Jacks came to the crease
Looks like he's going to rebuild the reputation of the Surrey contingent.
Pleased for Zak but he will still have his critics. Would have been good to see him and Root both push on for centuries, instead Root is looking very precarious for support. A big monkey off his back if he scores a ton which looks hopeful.
Having watched the 6 wickets - Some stupid giveaways BUT if we can score 300 I am hopeful and even more so if the can see this session out with minimal damage
As I typed that another stupid shot [Post edited 4 Dec 10:34]

He came close the ball before too  | | | |

No need for Jacks to play that.
I think Root might run out of partners before he gets to three figures. | |

Brilliant from Root, so pleased he's finally got that 100 | | | |

He finally does it. Well done Joe Root. | |

This England team need to get back to basics.
I’m sick and tired of this bazball bóllocks. |  | | |

Are these players totally clueless... Get through this session. Not a chance now and Root will be left stranded
Really chuffed for him though and now the Aussie press can f**k off too | | | |
| Ashes thread on 10:56 - Dec 4 with 657 views | Superhoops2808 |
And now Smith doing what he does best... Cheating and S**thousery (yes I know its not cheating really) but total lack of gamesmanship | | | |

Well done, Joe Root. Best test batsman I’ve ever seen play for England by a country mile, in every condition and game position. Quality. | |

It started a few years ago but is getting worse.
They need it drummed in to them, this is test match cricket, you have all the time in the world to pick and play your shots. | | | |
