    This Australia collapse is as bad as England's.

    Neither Zampa nor Hazlewood can really bat. Of course we're going to win. As long as I haven't jinxed it

    That Hales drop was appalling. Could have done with Bairstow, excellent fielder that he is, not dropping 2 in the match.

    5 wickets for Curren plus 2 relatively easy catches dropped from his bowling.
    Could of had seven.
    Quality performance
  • Wow, great stuff from Curran after Ball did his best to let the Aussies back in

    Should hope not - Curran took 5-35 !

    Whats 'poor' about it? - he's an Aussie.
  • Tom Curran is our next big thing, the kid has the game for the big time.

    International cricket is a tough old game, some rise to it, like Tom Curran, others sink, like Jake Ball.

    You can’t teach it, you either have it or you don’t.

    Bit harsh on Ball. Looked like he was suffering from heat stroke out there today.

    This was a very good win.
    Also shows that when Smith doesnt score runs , Australia struggle.

    Zimbabwean parents. Spent much if his youth in S.A. as Curran snr was coaching there until his tragic death. Then moved to England and were picked up by Surrey.

    Maybe he was, but international players have to deal with these conditions, Curran did and Ball didn’t.
  • Totally agree on Jake Ball - useless long streak of piss.

    I never thought anybody could have a worse Ashes tour than Boyd Rankin did four years ago, but Ball has managed it comfortably.

    Curran has a bit of Darren Gough about him - going to be a superstar.
