You ought to give yourself an uppercut with that sort of blasphemy Buster

You can admit it now - if Stuart Broad was an Aussie, he'd be your favourite player

The only English cricketer I’ve ever found likeable is Freddy Flintoff.

I genuinely don’t like him. He carries on like a spoilt brat and if he was an Aussie he’d have played maybe 40 or 50 tests at most, not 167.

That’s actually a good idea, if he comes off it relieves the pressure on the rest of the batting order

They couldn't... could they? Khawaja-Warner century stand on rained-out fourth day gives Aussies a chance

Leach isn’t half the bowler Lyon is so I don’t think it’s fair when England counter the Lyon injury by saying oh we lost Leach! Everything had gone against them until the rain in Manchester, even yesterday the sun disappeared yet again during change of innings. Been a great series and it would be unbelievable if Australia get the win. Before Edgbaston I’d never seen Australia win a close one like that and I think they’ll get a lot of belief out of that victory

They couldn't... could they? Khawaja-Warner century stand on rained-out fourth day gives Aussies a chance

I was thinking last night that if Cummins didn’t use Starc until the 33rd over we’d all be screaming blue murder

I’m right of centre yet can’t understand this labelling of the cricket team as woke. Yes Cummins is into his climate change stuff but he’s allowed his beliefs, and I don’t know who else is woke. They aren’t exactly dying their hair blue and putting pronouns on the team list.

Fingers crossed Warner and Khawaja can get themselves in again and get us to 200, that’d really make things interesting.

So there’s a Gilly quality replacement for Warner is there? This NSW bias tin foil hat stuff is ridiculous. They have produced most of the best players since I’ve followed cricket, that’s why they have the highest test representation most of the time. Not because of bias. But because of the best pathways and opportunities and coaching and economy. So take the tin foil hats off and support Australia, who cares what state a player is from!

Flem's Verdict: Aussies will be galvanised to shut up England’s PR machine after washout kerfuffle

A NSW-less Australian side would be Wimdies level and lose to a full strength NSW team. Cummins, Starc, Hazlewood and Lyon against Boland, Neser, Murphy, Jhye R if fit but he’s always hurt so who next?

If that was the case there’d be a few more censored

They’ve got the first 10 cheaply and quickly enough…

Best article on the series I’ve read! England have turned into Prince Harry and his missus, living “their” truth

England's Ashes have been historic, if you ignore the actual truth

The last 3 series in Australia, not just the last one! 13-0

'Stokes put his mate over the Ashes': The Pommy and the Aussie chat late declarations, retained urns and more

Hunt can’t organise and do traditional halfback things like kick field goals, so hopefully DCE retires but I don’t think he will. Geez I didn’t know he was that old though, still looks 14

Time's up Teddy: Why NSW's Game III win creates the perfect moment for Tedesco to ride off into the Origin sunset

People say Ponting should’ve retired earlier for his legacy, but he played on as Australia had no replacements and an over the hill Ponting averaging 40 instead of 55 was still useful. And does anyone, when thinking of Punter, think of the old bloke who struggled against the short ball, or the bloke who played the hook shot better than anyone and always scored big in big games? Long story short legacy isn’t determined by your last few years, it’s your whole career

Time's up Teddy: Why NSW's Game III win creates the perfect moment for Tedesco to ride off into the Origin sunset

Would you want to tour with Walsh?! I’d pick the Duff man over him, just so I didn’t have to put up with the big headed w@n&er!

Time's up Teddy: Why NSW's Game III win creates the perfect moment for Tedesco to ride off into the Origin sunset

I thought he should’ve been dropped after game one for Edwards, but if he has a full pre season and plays at his best for the Rorters next year it’d be silly to rule him out.

Also how short are a lot of NSW fans memories? Winning a dead rubber against a hungover QLD team that already had the series wrapped up, should not guarantee anyone a jersey for next year and Freddy and Brandy must go.

Good point. But I think that speaks more to Lyons career best form, and Head bowled beautifully. I like Murphy and think he’ll have a long career but if the captain won’t show faith in him, someone like Zampa who is a cool cat and has experience in big games, cup finals etc., he could surprise England and thrive with them going after him. On the flip side they could absolutely flay him, I’m not married to the idea but I think it could be an effective ploy vs Bazball

Flem’s Verdict: No momentum change after narrow loss but Warner on last chance and Aussies need Wood plan

He did well in the WtC and the first two tests. His job this series is to bat time and protect the middle order. The one test he didn’t we lost. Yes he’s past it, he’s not going to make many runs. But do you honestly think throwing Renshaw or Harris to the wolves is the best decision? I have the same confidence in those two to make runs as I do Warner, at least Warner is a very good fielder. I could see Marnus opening and Marsh or Green at 3. Alternatively Warner coming in at 5 or 6 could be different, the ball not singing, the bowlers a bit tired, and a license to go hard.

Flem’s Verdict: No momentum change after narrow loss but Warner on last chance and Aussies need Wood plan

With England attacking spinners like its an ODI, should we select an ODI spinner? Zampa I know isn’t much of a red baller, but he excels with the batsmen going at him and has plenty of tricks to get them out. Just a thought, won’t happen but I saw him doing an interview somewhere and thought geez he could be a left field option against Bazball

Flem’s Verdict: No momentum change after narrow loss but Warner on last chance and Aussies need Wood plan

He should be Souths fullback with Latrell at centre, I think they’d be even more dangerous in attack.

Ah Souths, get most calls most weeks yet still manage to find something to complain about

Since sandpapergate no one has moved the ball much, they all did it and I don’t blame them when you look at all the advantages given to batsmen.

Aussies have nothing to apologise for over Bairstow's blunder: England lost because they played Blaséball

You missed an awesome win. Imagine being so arrogant and up your own backside you stop watching a test because of a fair stumping. Cricket will be better without you, dont let the door hit you on the way out Karen

'Worst thing I’ve ever seen in cricket': Broad, McCullum whinge about Bairstow drama but McDonald returns serve

Mate you’ve got no idea, yes there were some Aussie teams in the past whose behaviour was at times ordinary, but this team are almost too well behaved. Far better than the poms and their fans. Warner plays with a smile on his face nowadays, never sledges. No Australian in this team tell a bloke who made 141 to “f off you fn prickle”, you clearly dont watch this team otherwise you wouldn’t make such stupid comments
