No you are chanay ki daal 
Well this match is already interesting after Aussies lost 4 for 96 in reply to England’s 302.
Re: The Ashes series has started
Steve Smith played out of his skin to put Aussies ahead by a nose
Re: The Ashes series has started
English team effed up completely at Gabba. Handed over a 10 wicket easy win after getting out at 195. Losers!
Re: The Ashes series has started
Bob Willis is recalled.

@Southie are you following 3rd test?
Im not so sure why Aussies stretched their inning to this late, but they just declared at 662, 4th day in progress.
England is in deficit of 259 so I guess Aussies are hoping to get them all out before that
Re: The Ashes series has started
Smith double hundred was a class act
Cant believe the guy was a leg spinner when he came now he is the current best test batsman
Re: The Ashes series has started
^ yes unbelievable
Re: The Ashes series has started
really surprising that his real talent of batting was not visible in his early days. As leggie , he was not impressive
Re: The Ashes series has started
So for the first time in series, England is in a little commanding position. Thanks to Captain for 244 not out, a bat-carry.
A 164 lead overall, lets see if they can get Aussies quickly

Australia was in control in 5th ODI but a good bowling by England did the trick.
Here are highlights of 5th match:
