Impmk2 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Wow spin only due to bad light in the final over and 1 wicket. Smith bowling. Crazy stuff! Dog update: she's back inside hiding in the study now. She'll be ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ljkeane Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Argh, I got up just too late to catch the end. Anyway, wahey, not a defeat! ETA: A bit of a side note but BT Sport half arsedly deciding they’ll have their own commentary lineup halfway through the series has brought us Dan Norcross and Mark Butcher on tv for the Ashes which I’m a fan of.

Jeor Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 And England hold on for the draw by a single wicket! When the margin is so razor thin there will be criticism for Cummins' conservative declaration given there was rain around and England's batsmen in the first innings were showing signs of a fight. However, I don't think it's really that big a deal. Australia had 102 overs to bowl them out in the fourth innings, which is three and a half sessions, and plenty of time to get a result. Ordinarily in any match you would declare after tea on the fourth day so it's not that unusual. It's really more down to an excellent performance by the English batting lineup. Bairstow and Stokes can take a lot of credit, Crawley in the second innings too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xray the Enforcer Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 Damn. Missed the nail-biter because it was during the middle of the night for me. I was able to watch up until the rain delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamjm Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 It looks like normal service has been resumed for New Zealand against Bangladesh after scoring 521 and then bowling Bangladesh out for 126. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
