Ashes are done, now for the ODIs

Bailey had the freedom to do that this innings.

More often than not, he won't have such a luxury.

I'm sure there are thousands of batsmen around the country that could have slogged like Bailey did in the circumstances.

Bres' catch was the highlight of the summer for England. ;D
Was that the 6? :P

Yep. :P

To be fair, the catch was one of the best this summer, but unfortunately there was no way he could keep that in play. :(

Redeemed himself with that runout of Watto. ;D

What, the throw from 5 metres away that he nearly missed lol? Reminds me of a story from my under 12 days. It was the last over of the match, the opposition were 9 down and needed 5 to win. First ball, a batsman hits it straight to a fielder and chrarges off, leaving both batsmen at the one end. The fielder throws it to the bowler, who from 2 metres away piffs it as hard as he can at the stumps. It misses and goes for four overthrows, we lose the match lol. To this day he maintains the throw went through the stumps and has a go at me who was at mid off for not backing up ::)

Looks like the overthrows cost the match

Not backing up cost you the game.

It cleaned up the stumps, I found his reaction after he hit hilarious (Bresnan). Biggest idc attitude. :P

Go Root Go!

I know why England have been so bad this series. Their side has lacked a bit of ... "Ballance"

PowerBug · December 16, 2013, 04:37:08 PM

CORRECT!

Cook becomes the first ever to be dismissed for a golden duck in his 100th test ;D

Bill Manspeaker · December 16, 2013, 04:39:49 PM

Bill Manspeaker · December 16, 2013, 05:00:08 PM

lucky lucky lucky Carberry

Jay · December 16, 2013, 05:01:22 PM

Will Clarke hurry up and put a 2nd slip in for Nathan Lyon? He's bowling beautifully.

Bill Manspeaker · December 16, 2013, 05:07:22 PM

Watto. LBW in the end. 8 to go flowerIN COME ON

Jay · December 16, 2013, 05:08:50 PM

GOT HIM! Carbs gets another start but fails to go on. I've liked his series though, surprised he hadn't been a feature in the test side earlier.

Bill Manspeaker · December 16, 2013, 05:13:29 PM

gentle half volley to Pietersen. off the mark

Bill Manspeaker · December 16, 2013, 05:49:50 PM
