Still don't think that first test declaration was dumb at the time, going for Aussie 2-10 at stumps was a good idea that didn't pay off, at the close of day 5 it doesn't look smart, what can you do though, for all we know if he didn't declare Root could have got out next ball, lots of things happen over 5 days, dropped catches spring to mind, that declaration didn't cost them the match on it's own.

spot on matey
 
If anyone thinks England are too nice and not competitive by the way, watch Robinson for an hour. You want the whole team acting like that? At least Australia back it up unlike the fat unfit racist medium pacer. I remember the England team of the late 90s early 2000s being a bit gobby and not winning a sausage.
 

Was listening to Grade Cricketer earlier - fantastic podcast, by the way, despite them being Aussies - and they made a good point about this final Test at the Oval.

By the time the next Ashes comes around, it'll have been 10 years since England won a series/held the Ashes and the two sides will look vastly different. So, despite it being 2-1*, should get a good game.

They're a good listen those lads, and have been quite funny for some time on social media.
 

Not a fan of some of the quotes I'm seeing about a 'moral victory' and 'fair results' from the england camp. Cummins and the aussies were utterly terrified of a 3-2 comback and without rain it would have happened because of their terror and how it was affecting their play. Now they are freed up with nothing to lose while England have to get over a massive kick in balls, ultimately the aussies have better players so without the pressure we had put them under I think they are favourites for this one. A slight dip outside of evens and I might even back them
