    But why?

    What we witnessed yesterday is exactly what test cricket is all about.

    I am actually more excited as the series is still alive and to be won by the best team who can stand up on the day.

    Another "I was there" truly epic performance by Ben Stokes. I was going to call it a night and fukc off to bed when Broad was out..

    Brilliant innings and guts, knowing that any mistake would have lost the game. Magnificent advert for the full version of Test Cricket.

    Test cricket is about bad umpiring?
    Probably right
    120 years of bad decisions

    Wwf is more real

    The Aussies are still favourite for the series with Smith coming back - he hits 140 every bloody innings...

    Warner looked like he is coming back into nick. The Convict bowlers are generally bowling well, sometimes very well.

    You still have the edge as far as I can see.

    Baldrick was a Kiwi a few weeks ago for a day

    It's a bit empty in here today with a strange atmosphere and a smell of despair

    UK football on every screen but no cricket highlights on any TVs.



    I see good value breakfasts and Rugby...


    Even Pies...
    Cricket-not a dicky bird.

    Let's be honest: stuff like captaincy is a bit too hard for most aussies.

    Too cerebral.

    How the fuck did Leach face about five balls in ten overs?

    Listening to that idiot wicketkeeper after the game it's clear nobody told him you're supposed to bring the field in when the batsman needs a single.

    He just blamed his bowlers instead.

    Great leadership there.

    The breakfast looks nice, but after the group stages, and the Convicts head home, will they play the England, Argentina, Wales, Ireland, Scotland, New Zealand, Bokk and Georgia games?

    There's an argument to be had over whether the actual cheats - smith and warner should be playing at all - step out of the glass house a mo.

    You could argue the white ball approach was the only thing that won us that match 6 - 6 - 4 -2 -1 ... but yeah we need to see patience and application and less whafting

    I used to like giving the Poms shite about having Ben Stokes, a KIWI in their team but ...
    listening to him being intervied after the game, I was surprised to hear how 'English' he sounded
    so must have been living there for quite some time ... far play to him.

    Different then Jofra Archer who was born in Barbados and the rules were changed to allow him to qualify to play for the Poms.

    Not taking anything away from England's brilliant and unprecedented win and keep the Ashes Series alive and front and centre
    in the minds of the Cricketing followers.

    Smith will play in the next test.
    Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago ...

    Ben Stokes's Ashes miracle inspires England, but Australia laments the one that got away

    The Ashes Thread.-11446902-3x2-940x627-jpg
    Marcus Harris dropped a tough chance in the deep as Ben Stokes powered England to victory at Headingley


    In most Test matches, which last for up to five days and include thousands of deliveries, it's almost impossible to pinpoint a moment or two as decisive.
    But this was not just any Test match.
    As Ben Stokes plundered his way through an innings for the ages, Australia's grip on the game weakened rapidly — but the tourists crucially still had opportunities to snatch victory from the ever-closing jaws of defeat.

    In the space of 12 balls, four incidents conspired to help Stokes and England over the line, and potentially cost Australia the Ashes.

    ---

    1/ Harris drops Stokes

    The Ashes Thread.-11446880-3x2-940x627-jpg
    Marcus Harris's chance in the deep was the most borderline of the lot, but things just kept going against Australia.


    One of the many amazing parts of Stokes's knock was that it was, for the most part, completely chanceless.

    There was an edge squirted wide of slip off Nathan Lyon long before the chase became interesting, but aside from that he didn't give Australia a sniff.


    ---

    2/ Australia wastes its last review

    The Ashes Thread.-11446882-3x2-940x627-jpg
    Australia lost its last review on this LBW shout that was clearly pitching outside leg stump.


    Just five balls later, the last of that same Cummins over, the Australians got a rare chance to bowl at number 11 Jack Leach.

    After sending down a myriad of short-pitched and length balls, Cummins finally fired in a yorker. It hit Leach on the foot, but well outside the leg stump, and the ensuing appeal was half-hearted at best.


    ---

    3/ Lyon blows the run out

    The Ashes Thread.-11446886-3x2-940x627-jpg
    Nathan Lyon had Jack Leach dead to rights but could not handle the throw from the fielder.


    The following over, the 125th, Lyon bowled a beauty. He had Stokes largely bamboozled — well, aside from the six he launched down the ground to bring England within two runs of victory and one run of tying.


    ---

    4/ Umpire Wilson strikes back, and there's nothing Australia can do

    The Ashes Thread.-11446878-3x2-940x627-jpg
    Lyon trapped Stokes plumb LBW but umpire Joel Wilson was having none of it.

    The Ashes Thread.-11446898-3x2-700x467-jpg
    Ball-tracking on an appeal for LBW against Ben Stokes



    The run-out was the moment, right? That was the chance, the big event Australians will dissect and bemoan and lament for a generation.

    Nope, that came the very next ball.
