eff me! who would have thought?
Aftet going down for 67
What a win for england and an embarrassment for aust. Those results really annoy me.
Plumb lbw's not giving because umpires are too scared.... if they can't get them right, maybe technology takes over. Umpires don't drop catches though.
Great stokes innings.

Well done Paine. Goose.
But I just read your comments which were better than those cricinfo tosspots
So it was for a good cause!
Thanks
Just think of Canberra then you will smile again
Just read the news, feel like a war veteran having flashbacks and PTSD after reading Stokes has done it again
Only playing for England due to Rugby League

I swear I'm doing this and ignoring all cricket articles.
Took me about 3 hours to come back in here and reply!

Just flicked through the final 2 hours, so many chances missed !!
The bowling for that last partnership was abysmal, the 11 faced 17 balls probably only 1 ball that would have hit the timber and no desire to attack his outside edge, was all look how short and fast I can bowl
The singles Stokes got off the last ball of the over were either poorly bowled or poorly planned and far too easy

What a finish. I swear Stokes has been kissed on the ass by a fairy - he is the luckiest cricketer in the world. First the world cup and now this. Amazing innings but could have been out 3 or 4 times but for a couple of inches.
But Australia had their chances - blowing that review on that LBW was criminal and Lyon missing the run out
At least it keeps the series alive.

That absolutely does my head in. Then one in 50000000000000 times a ball will hit the glove and then they all think it's the right tactic.
I was swearing at the TV last night when Boult was doing the same for us
Different level entirely but I was always happy in premier cricket when the fast bowlers decided to bounce me because they weren’t going to get me out that way. I played a game of 2s a couple of years back after not batting for 2 years and walked out there and sledged their opening bowler so he would bounce me and it did the trick, full and straight and he probably would have had me lol
Do you think there will come a time that the umpires will call for DRS themselves much like the NRL refs use the bunker ?? If it's sufficiently close the umpire can refer it if he's not sure - perhaps they send it up with a "soft call" like they do for catches currently. That will remove all doubt and get rid of all these arguments. For a test match that goes 5 days what's a few extra minutes every half hour or so checking an LBW appeal ?? We waste more time than that running out new gloves to batsmen every 10 overs. It'll take the pressure off the umpires too. Problem is that you need to have the technology available at every venue I suppose.
Umpire Joel Wilson’s Ashes has ended following an error-laden series culminating with a howler that decided the third Test.
Wilson won’t be involved in the remaining two Tests, nor will Chris Gaffaney who had seven decisions overturned at Headingley.
He fell one short of the record, eight, which Wilson matched in the opening Test at Edgbaston.
Good, what a pair of **** ups.
