The Pommy bowlers are so conditions dependant. Broad and Anderson have always been average overseas, and Woakes looks like a star at home but averages something like 50 outside of England! 😮

The only disappointing thing about this series is that Anderson & Broad didn't chair Warner off on their shoulders for his contribution to their figures.

I am happy with a drawn series and the ringing of whinging coming from those that are now living the life of "convicts", stuck in a hole called London, England.

I was impressed. Always hard for number three or four pacer overseas. They are used as yard dogs, and plough horses.


You're quite brilliant Shane, yeah..terrific!

So we lost graciously, not like those whinging poms. Needed less than 3 runs an over and bottled it? England unfortunately finished all over us even with several aging stars. How fast is Wood. Where's our express pace. If Anderson is a dud, how about Stark. How slow was Labushagne. Cummins has great player resources but no ideas. Hopefully we regroup for next home series. Freshen up the line up with new exciting talent. New coach?

Was always going to be hard chasing a record total on day 5. The damage was done on day 1 dropping 5 catches.

Starc is a strike bowler, his average is 1 higher than Anderson but his strike rate is 8 lower. He also took 23 wickets in the series, Anderson 5. He is cooked.

Non binary pronoun. More inclusive than Aussies. Denotes belonging, part of the tribe sort of vibe. Are you policing semantics now. Good job, will keep us on our toes.
(FYI it is possible to express an opinion/question without the use of profanity, its not obligatory - unless you are Roy Smart.)

Profanity is an essential part of my vocabulary. You have obviously never mixed with people from our legal profession, or our dock workers.

i also have no idea who f****** Roy Smart is and care even less.

Fair enough. We have all thought f'ing lawyers at sometime.

Never heard of ted Lasso either and have no intentions of trying to work out where I can "check him out".

Now 22 years since a series win for Australia in England. Some great cricket played during this series. Well done Australia in retaining the urn.

I always barracked for Wile e Coyote, I wanted him to wring the neck of that scrawny smart arse bird and eat him live.
