The bails are tolling for Australia!

Take a bow, Mr Broad. What a player.

Excellent work

YES BROADY

Written in the stars that was, beautiful spell to mop up there. Shame they Aussies were saved by the weather and this wasn't for the urn.

 

[jd1981]

Yes gtfi

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Their gap between away wins (2001 -> at least 2027) is now going to be larger than ours was in the wilderness years (86/87 -> 10/11)

Last ball faced with the bat: 6
Last ball bowled: wicket.

How often has that happened?

 

[jd1981]

Just the 26 years now for a win on our soil embarrassing for a nation that has superiority complex over us

 

[jd1981]

The best thing is this will really hurt the Aussie to
Shout out moeen to for a stand in he has done really well

 

[pagey]

Well 2 2, without blaming the Manchester weather, with more runs and more wickets in the series I reckon we win on goal difference.

Great series, and some fantastic cricket from both sides.

How often has that happened?

Once.

 

[Trips]

Once.

In test cricket?

They said on comms the other day it had only happened once (in 1984) where someone hit a 6 off their final ball faced. Seems weirdly coincidental for that same player to have taken a wicket with finally ball too

Once being Broad.

Once being Broad.

Ah, understood

I heard a stat on TMS today that when Moeen took his final wicket his 4th innings bowling average was better than Shane Warne’s. Not sure if it still was the case at the close of play as he conceded a few more runs.

 

[BillyDee]

A fantastic end to a fantastic series. If we'd have been as good in the field as with the bat and the ball we'd have taken it.
Just a shame there's now no cricket for a month.

This is probably gonna go down like a fart in the Vestry but the Hundred starts tomorrow and I love it, yeah I know philistine.

 

[darlowolf64]

It’s got a lot to live up to after BazBall…

 

[ROVERT47]

Pretty sure it will, if you’re not too much of a purist.
