That's better. Shame it's too little, too late.

We need to take this momentum into the rest of the series now and there's a chance we could just nick a draw, somehow.
 
We just need not to give anything away tonight. Go into tomorrow with three down. All about mental strength now. You know the type that Sunderland’s defense has lol. Faint hearts win f*ck all :-)
 
You know I’m not a massive cricket fan
But I do like the ashes.
In the 50s 60s and 70s you got better tv coverage
Just like all sports money has took over and there not bothered weather you watch or not.
Same with this box office ****e for the boxing.
You got better coverage in the 60s
 
Unbelievable test - I'll be setting an alarm to watch the remainder of this early hours tomorrow. I think we'll lose - but I also feel like it's a bit of a moral victory and should give us some confidence. Got to be among the best test matches to watch in a long time.

We need a rapid bowler in there. Jimmy and Broad are great bowlers but just aren't quick enough.

As for the TV coverage - I've watched thousands of overs on Sky and never, in all that time, have they missed the stock "shot behind the bowler" angle when the ball is released.

4 times in this series we've had the camera pointing from mid on or square leg when the ball is bowled. Awful coverage and not a patch on sky.
 
The fact that you cant even watch any highlights other than on BT Sport really boils my piss. Cracking comeback by England. I never thought they had it in them. Wish we had Stokes to come in.
