Well, after yesterdays unplayable wicket it’s anyone’s test match this. 

Come on England.

[47er]

First ever 20-20 Test match?

Another injury

Another dropped catch

JUST. PLAY. NORMAL. TEST. CRICKET.

Bethels just gone. Decent knock. 4 down now.

[onlyonejackwalker]

Root gone. 17 to win.

Well well, England win our first test in Australia for 14 years, yes 14 years. Maybe this will calm everyone down who is demanding change and actually instead of wanting to rip up our management team and captain, we look into our preparations for this series, the squad pick, etc. A full and proper review need to be done into everything including the County cricket structure.

Pleased that England supporters out in Australia have seen a win finally. 

Michael Vaughan tweeted a few hours ago that this pitch is disgrace and not suitable to test cricket. Aussie wickets used to be hard and fast with spinner coming into the play on day 4 or 5, Wonder why they have changed the wickets they actually prepare off site and drop in.

As welcome as it is, one win doesn’t change anything.

There’s little to celebrate and the match went exactly as predicted with England finally turning up when it doesn’t matter and the series is lost

England could well go on to win the last Test too as I stated but that will not hide the fact that multiple failures by the management have led to another disastrous and embarrassing campaign

MCullum’s time is up and so is that of some of the players

just for Context, Crawley is our highest run scorer in this series, 256 runs in 8 innings. Carse has 19 wickets in this series,

I stayed up all night. Very weird game.

Well done England on the consolation win. Pleased for the bowlers who at last found their length.

Average just over 30. Thats what he does. Its just about acceptable in low scoring games.
