I can tell you who won all the historical ashes. Its not relevant to who won the current Ashes series. That is no one as yet. I expect Australia to get that job done though.

I don't need that info because I know who won the ashes and still has them , so its very relevant ...

again you like accuracy , but will not answer a question

who has the ashes and why

I'm only interested in the current Ashes rather than cherry picking. That is relevant and current. No one has won them yet. I hope that answers your question.
 
England need to sack off Root as captain (I joke of course), he never wins the ****ing toss. Its not why we're behind in the series, but it is certainly a disadvantage to win only one of the 5 tosses. That means Australia are getting the pick of the conditions throughout and obviously get first use of the pitch on good wickets. Its not the first series he has shown he has zero luck either. He's fortunate Tim Paine put us in as I think he may have misread the wicket and conditions, that wicket will deteriorate.

Mind I've long said that the toss should be abandoned in test cricket now. It has too much impact on the results nowadays to make it right. You go somewhere like India and its really difficult to win tests against the better nations batting 2nd. There should be one toss at the start of a series and it should alternate who gets choice thereafter. It would be alright if the wickets were the same for both sides, but cricket doesn't work like that or you'd never get a result.

It depends if someone is deliberately closing the questions to guide you down a certain route. Only a fool would play along with that. Its usually when someone knows they are wrong they do this.

no the questions were to allow for your liking of accuracy remember

I had you on the ropes , so you simply refused and vanished for the day
 
Sorry Chaos, but shut the **** up, you boring **** <laugh>

Smith with another good innings but this time he was on his own unlike the previous tests where others added a few respectble scores... you can tell australia have slacked off having already won the ashes .
