Aussies posting the type of score that England should have posted batting first.....
 
Our bowling just isn't good enough, Potts was plundered and our spinners are county standard. Our whole set-up in county cricket is killing the Test team and good young players are finding short form cricket far more lucrative...

Excellent innings from Bethel, orthodox and controlled. He looks an excellent player and is apparently very grounded.
I hope he delivers more, but it shows how shallow our talent pool is when our No 3 batsman in an Ashes test has never scored a first class century…until today. Not his fault of course, he’s played less than 30 proper games.
 
Finally.. 4-1 series win. Should have been closer but poor preparation and tactics from England particularly early in the series. Starc and Head outstanding along with Carey. Root finally showed his class out here which was great for us to see. Bethel is the find of the series.

Would of like to seen it closer but happy for the win & the series.
Until next time.........................
 
Is there any chance we can ask Clive to do an Ashes Report.

Its the thing that gets me through QPR losses.
 
Brilliant innings from England in Sri Lanka in the deciding ODI. Root and Brook both getting to 100. Currently 333-3 after 48.4 overs. The first time England have got to 300 in Sri Lanka in this format.
 
Now 185/5 off 28.... still doable by SL but as long as England keep taking wickets they should win this....
 
Italy beat Ireland today in a T20 World Cup warm up match, there 1st ever win over a full ICC team.... Ireland won the series 2-1....
