Best series since '05. Such a shame this last test wasn't a series decider. While I'm disappointed we didn't win the Ashes I think we showed real character to level the series afrer going 0-2 down, especially after the disappointment in the Manchester rain, having got ourselves into a commanding position. I think a drawn series was probably about right. But it's frustrating the Aussies retain the Ashes. Fitting that Broad got a 6 on his final bat and a wicket on his final ball 👏

Bizarre…🤔 Really? That does surprise me. Actually, that shocks me. EDIT:  I see Stokes has decided to un-retire for this series, which is what cost Brooks his place in all probability, so..... Still unsure myself, but Stokes is a born winner.

No particularly obvious choice to leave out for him either. Bold move to pick Atkinson

I like that selection. Luke Wright sed Stokes squeezed him from the squad but I think it’s a bit of a cop out. Barring one extraordinary innings Brook did struggle in the IPL but he’d be in my squad and I’d have found a way of getting him in. “I know writers who use subtext and they’re all cowards.” –Garth Marenghi

You want Ali and Livingstone for the spin options. You can't leave out Root and Malan has been outstanding in ODI cricket. Bairstow and Roy pick themselves to open and if we need 50 off the last 6 in the final with 2 wickets left would you want Brook or Stokes at the crease? Brook's an outstanding cricketer but can see why he's not been picked. He must be absolutely knackered as well after the year he's had.

I know it’s not a popular opinion but I personally wouldn’t pick Livingstone in my best side anyway but probably in my squad. I’d happily forfeit Jason Roy for Harry Brook.

Fastest 100 in the Hundred to date! Special from a lad who cannot get in the WC squad. Has a touch of Genius does Harry Brook! “I know writers who use subtext and they’re all cowards.” –Garth Marenghi

It's been great this last week or so with the cricket , football and athletics . For someone who can not get out much all this sport on the box makes my day go very quick.                              Over 36 years living in Suffolk but always a mariner.                              68 Years following the Town                               Life member of Trust                                First game   April 1955

Our bowlers set us up, with Wood (not that one) and Carse taking 3 wickets each.
