Great discussion. Loved it.

[@sayantanpoali5877]

Everytime , I think the game is going to be onesided, there is an epic twist.... What a series , expect an epic climax😁😁

[@stevennottle5832]

Makes no sense why they can't wait for end of play to do this analysis.

[@adnankhan-so1uq]

Maybe they are also worn out and trying to wrap up the proceedings earlier.

[@oliverorchard6774]

Yeah, but each day supposedly brings a different innings and particularly for the first 2 innings, so being able to see what both teams did wrong in either the bowling or batting can help you as the viewer understand what they did wrong in terms of their technique and the way they played the game.

[@NUSensei]

@@oliverorchard6774 This isn't at the end of the day. The podcast was happening during the match. The presenters are trying to analyse the earlier session while watching the match live on screen.

[@coopercollins5076]

i have never in my entire life heard more about previous series leading up to this test match… australia literally won the test world cup a week before the ashes yet i’ve hardly heard a word about that but yet england taking care of a couple of B grade teams at home n winning in pakistan i’ve heard talked about more than the fact that hey y’all failed to regain the ashes 😂

[@mohitnegi692]

and why did mighty eng didnt qualify for wtc ?

[@bruno5137]

That "England B side" won 3-0 in Pakistan whereas in the same year your Australian (presumably) "A side" only managed 1-0. In the run-up to this series England won 10 out of their last 12, including against the then world champions India, which even the most hardened Aussie fan must admit is a good run. That's why we were talked-up a lot. Were we talked-up too much? Yes probably, but don't forget that the whole idea of playing for the metaphorical Ashes of English cricket was a media hype back in 1882, so the British media has always been prone to hyperbole.

[@mohitnegi692]

@@bruno5137 why didn't England play wtc ? ☺️

[@bruno5137]

@@mohitnegi692 Lol you know why, because we did not qualify. That does not detract from the fact we are (under Stokes) a very good side and hopefully we will qualify for and win the next one

[@ethancoster1324]

Flintoff was the first bowler that successfully that i can recall bowling around the wicket to lefthanders. Ala Gilchrist.

[@hollyjenkins1500]

She’s a great presenter

[@nevvanclarke9225]

My observation of yesterday was both teams, probably almost were checking out. They were still trying to win, but there wasn't this fierce intensity that we've seen for the whole ashes are you in the crowd was relatively quiet, and when a wicket fell, there wasn't that pressure gauge that goes up every time there's a wicket it was just kind of meander through the day and then when the tail was batting, I didn't think Ben Stokes captaincy was very good at all. There was no innovative fuel placements. There was just nothing it wasIn fact roles were reversed when England started to resort to short bowling to get a tail ender out.

[@ianaspinall7948]

No Kumar at this test! DK and Kumar talk with more positivity about Englands tactics than the English pundits, who more often than not just don't get it.

[@shazaibkhan8216]

England🔥🔥

[@akamiguelsanchez9985]

When DK hit puberty, he’ll be a good commentator

[@shazaibkhan8216]

Australians are in defensive mode they want to take this match deep because if this match is drawn then they will win the series

[@Mister_H.]

Exactly that 👍🏻

[@craigbeatty8565]

They’ve already won the series!

[@celestialspartan7977]

They have retained the Ashes, not won the series yet.

[@satejmirpagar7495]

The podcast is top notch but it’s very distracting that this podcast is scheduled during match. Everyone seems so distracted, surely there was a better time slot!

[@t123a698]

18:24 to cut a long story short, Johny B fludbed up again, and was, again, bailed out by the tag “controversial”.

[@C.J.M..]

As an Australian I’m in two minds about the result of the final test: if we win, we silence the would-have, could-have, should-have whining Poms; but if we lose, we get to listen to the whining Poms bang on about how they were ‘the better team’, how they held ‘the moral high ground’, and all the other delusions of losers. Either way, we win. Or how about a rained-affected draw that prevents Australia from getting an easy win-that would be brilliant.

[@safroach]

The last part you said is gold. However, I would still love to see Australia win and shut this whinners up specially those pommy commentary pundits including Vaughan and Ian Ward. They have become spoilt in this so bazball (baseball) era of just over a year they wouldn't accept any other way from their opponent is a way to play and call it boring. It's their utter stupidity and an attempt to bully Australia in the first two tests they cannot win this Ashes. All those claims about trying to save test cricket or make it exciting is nothing but utter nonsense. They seem to have forgotten how Steve Waugh and Pointing did bazball thing long before in late 90s till late 2000s with their captaincy and Pointing with his batting as well.

[@robertfurner1729]

australia making so many bad decisions, just look at run rates also no top order batsmen to set a reasonable total cummins nit really the disciplined captain needed for tests. bazball isnt winning its just poor test cricket from australia

[@denisecaparn9068]

Ps. The word poms derived from prisoners comming here they ain't poms, they live in UK, ps. U r the whiners😂😂😂

[@wobblertv8083]

One innings each shoot out ...

[@kevinjones-ch7pr]

Why call everyone by there surnames, Stokesie,woodsie , brooksie , the Aussies started it and the flocks follow , seems everyone in cricket HAS to do the same 😂

[@Nawanda]

Bairstow didn't see the ball....simple. Good reflex catch but nothing special for first slip. How about a limit on substitute fielders. Fresh legs and good arms...spirit of the game England?

[@stevenp2309]

Jeez ppl waffle on. Does anyone think that as the ball was coming down at 90+mph Marnus was thinking about Broad?

[@dama301]

No but it's about throwing off his rythm and concentration

[@dama301]

Agreed it was probably more of a great ball, I'm sure if further outside off he would have left it

[@pjc1362]

WHY is Broad allowed to disturb the wickets? Is that in the spirit of the game?

[@AppByDesign]

Yeah it is yep

[@Mister_H.]

Yep, all good!

[@saihejmangat2608]

England were excellent today

[@joshuaellison2008]

They let two tail Enders get Australia back into the game

​@@joshuaellison2008can't get everything spot on all the time. Australia let England score 70 for the last three yesterday

Your behind once again on day 2 excellent pommy.

[@joshuaellison2008]

@@harrisaziz1028 I’m not saying the bowlers haven’t bowled well but if they want to be considered a top team there needs to be more consistency, it’s a great bowling attack but very aged and they looked tired for spells out there today

[@mikeoxmaul9386]

​@@1johnny1it could be worse, the England players could be Australian😢 Imagine if you woke up and found out you are from a nothing country with no world impact😂

[@nixtr3sharma]

Bloody hell mark butcher is full of himself!

[@thepimpernel6971]

There was a time where a right armer bowling around the wicket to a left hander given the angle would never ever in a million years get a LBW. Now with "ball tracking" they are sitting ducks I dont know that I trust that ball tracking is that accurate. You got guys bowling wide on the crease around the wicket getting LBW's no problem. There is no way a ball pitching on middle bowled from around the wicket hits you on the front pad in front of the crease is hitting leg stump

[@anadyamittal3807]

Imma be honest…..it looked like Australia are playing to draw this one as well

[@jlk760]

Totally. Their mindset appeared to be bat once, bat long and bat England out of the match denying them the chance to draw the series. Problem is if they only score 54 runs in the first session there’s always a chance as this Aussie side have shown at times in this series that they can lose a flurry of wickets in a session which blows that ‘bat long’ plan out of the window. Unless they produce their best bowling performance of the series today, I see England scoring a minimum of 300 quickly which should be enough but the weather forecast again may have something to say about the destiny of this match.

[@geoffbutler2893]

Anderson should not be picked for this game. And certainly not the india tour time to say thanks. And has for the all time great he woudnt even get in a top 10 list

[@pjc1362]

THREE substitute fielders!!! ENG always use professional fielders..to give their 11 team members a rest....IMO its cheating

[@AM2K2]

England won the rained off game - this will finish 3-2 to England and they've won the ashes 🔥

[@vibhor5015]

Why is there no led bails for this series? Guys use technology! Everyone else is using it.

[@pjc1362]

Bazball...relies on winning the toss and batting in sunshine on flat pitches..

[@Mister_H.]

Australia rely on tampering with the ball so….

[@katana_3558]

Poor captaincy by stokes...the second ball should have been used by woakes and wood the best bowlers in this seriies ...instead its anderson and broad ...

[@arunthomas4652]

Australia are scared of English bowling attack. They were finding difficult to score runs. Australian bowlers and planning were taken to the cleaners. English bowlers were bowling line and length balls. Australians bowlers didn’t know where to bowl at English batsmen.

[@ankitdixit6073]

I don't think Karthik should be there. I know he's had a good start with mic still it's the ashes. We want England and Australia

Poor comment from you. She's much more knowledgeable and analytical than many others. Also, not as biased as her English counterparts. She praises the opposition when it's due and critical of Australia, again when/if it warrants. Have a good day. Rain will shorten this test. ☔
