The Ashes 2015 - Spoilers

[Dayvo]

And just read on cricinfo that Clarke will retire from international cricket after this series. He knew the axe was coming for him.

For the benefit of those watching on cricinfo @Dayvo it is bright and sunny

And it's swinging and seaming for Wood and Stokes.

 

[psmiffy]

England in no hurry - only 4 slips

Edit - and a short mid-off "cordon"

 

[psmiffy]

Stokes in a hurry - Starc

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Two balls needed now.

The Australians probably want to just get it over and done with asap to avoid the extra suffering (which will last a long time anyway), but have to show the 'true' Aussie grit to the very end. Yeah, right...

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Has there been a scoring stroke yet? I can't remember one.

 

[psmiffy]

Wood - Hazelwood 0

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

One ball needed...

 

[Dayvo]

Mark Wood v Hazel Wood - no contest!

I reckon England will take a hiding. The last Ashes were moved to concentrate on preparation for the World Cup and that's hardly been a success.

Assuming he holds onto the form he's in, Mitchell Johnson will be devastating. No idea who their bowling coach is these days, but he's done something incredible with that boy.

As I type England have won it............................

All change for Australia now. Well after the Oval massacre.

Well played England, in EVERY department.

Does anybody feel as though we've been cheated out of an Ashes summer? Roll on the Vuelta....
