The Ashes 2021/22

Beginning to wish I'd stayed in bed...

Buttler out. 2 balls later Wood out, to a superb delivery from Cummins. Both LBW.

Fairly comfortable at 218-5 has turned into 218-7 and now we're in big trouble.

Ooooh Smith drops Bairstow

How the hell can Win Viz give a 60% chance for the draw?

Australia are even money, the draw is about 4/5

Because Bairstow is still there with only 14 overs left. Will probably drop to about 10% if he gets out in the next couple of overs

14 overs is an eternity though, especially with Cummins and Boland on fire.

Marnus doing his best to burn all the Aussie reviews.

Bairstow out

10 overs to survive, Australia need 2 wickets

Indeed, nice to see us show fight

I'm sorry, I just can't see us winning from here. 

cafcfan1990

Can you believe it 

killerandflash

It somehow hurts even more that it's Smith and not Cummins who got the breakthrough

blackpool72

Smith has the world's most punchable face. 

cafcfan1990

We all know we’re going to lose this 

Phew 

killerandflash

Yes!!!!!!!!

Not celebrated a 9 down draw like that for a while

Chizz

Undefeated all year

blackpool72

Excellent stuff.
Really enjoyed that.

If englands top ten most memorable ashes moments of the last 15 years were listed, three would be saving a test with 9 wickets down

oohaahmortimer

Pissed the draw

We've got ourselves into a state where we celebrate not having fallen over in a heap. But we didn't, and drawing matches when the opposition's significantly better than you is a big part of cricket. The last hour was really gripping.

A draw that feels like a win. Nice to see Zac getting a score . Maybe Bilbo will play the last Test

Showed some fight but still outperformed
