That 1 over too many from Root could well be the moment it was lost

 

There's been many pivotal moments to be fair.

 

We've bowled strange here, far too many easy singles. Bring everyone up now and let him get overexcited and sky it straight up

 

Now, who would have thought?

 

Arse. It's gonna take some coming back from that. Cummins played unreal innings there. Painful very painful

 

Fair play to Cummins

 

Captain courageous Cummins!

 

Wood has to play in this side , his pace is a difference maker especially against the tail.

 

Very gracious of you H-L.

 

****ing Lyon has one of those faces.

 

Limited bowling options, missed chances and a questionable first innings declaration have cost us there.
The Aussies showed they most certainly had the minerals, despite doubts by some that they could.

 

Commiserations HB. England was really unlucky as they played a terrific game to come away with a loss.
But they showed a lot of grit even when there were only a handful of runs to go. They fielded with determination and can hold their heads up high.
A match for the ages. Cliche, sure, but very apt.

 

Aussie Lyon roars louder than England's Three Lions.
Great match to start series. Hope the rest are just as good.
Not decided yet if this match is an example.
Better luck next time fellas. But only a smidgen.

 

Where are you Didley? Wake up. WE WON!!!

 

Khawaja, M.O.T.M. Deservedly.
Cummins a close second imho.
Stokes not far behind. Good decision making in the field and almost bowled England to win. Just one bad decision in declaring early 1st innings, I think. Another 20-30 runs would have been decisive, especially mentally.

 

Only one batsman in The Aussie chase didn’t get into double figures.
I’m hanging on to that

 

I tried that once. My arms just got tired and I had to LET GO.

 

A great Test match, which neither side really deserved to lose. We did lose it though, so well played Australia. No point moaning about 'we should have done this', or why didn't we do that?'.

We lost this game, but there are four more to play.

 

Totally this

 

Surrey have just scored 238 from 20 overs
