So far this Ashes, the total scores are:
Australia 1,850 for 58
England 1,809 for 55
After 943.4 overs, there are just 49 runs between the sides.
Good grief what a series.

Tomorrow will be a washout, as might Sunday.

In Tests, Ravi Jadeja averages 36 with the bat and 24 with the ball.
He’s also arguably the best fielder in the game right now.
IMHO, should be spoken about as one of the all-time all-rounders.

In the Southampton bio-bubble, Shane Warne was lured from his dinner by

He was meant to bowl one ball, but inevitably stayed for longer.

A lot of comparisons with a run-out at the non-striker’s end (Mankad).
But Bairstow wasn’t trying to gain any advantage, so there’s significant difference there.
100% correct decision from the umpires, the debate purely around Australia’s choice to stick with appeal.

You do what gives you the best chance of winning. Not what the “opposition least want.”
Keeping India to a manageable total on a dry pitch and then hoping the pitch skids on under lights is their thinking. Pitch is slow and grippy. Jadeja would be v difficult right now

Before getting a hammering from Australia, I want to make the following clear:
I’d be saying the same if the weather had benefitted England.
If a draw was deemed so much less acceptable for the World Test Championship which DID have a reserve day, why wouldn’t an Ashes Test?
‼️ In My Opinion: Test cricket should do all it can to allow games to finish.
