That's not correct is it? I'm pretty sure we've lost quite a few at home haven't we?

Definitely.
The whole reason the Ashes became a thing was because Australia beat us at home 140 years ago.
Australia have won 15 Ashes series in England.
Yes but not since 2001

Yeah but just like the Premier League, The Ashes didn't start until 2005.

Lyon bowling in the 12th over.. don’t know if that’s a sign the pitch is bad or not

If I never hear reverse sweep again it will be to soon, can we just please show Lyon some respect. I know we have to be positive but he’s a wily old fox is Gary

So now we are chasing 350 - I think we would all have taken that at the end of yesterday.
Good start by England's openers.

Yep, very good day so far for us.
We were about 5/1 in the betting this morning. Aussies around 1/2 I think.
Already it's swung. The odds are pretty much suggesting it's a 50/50 match now...which goes to show how good of a day we're having, so far.

I think they are probably just trying to stifle the scoring. Using him to hold one end.

What was he thinking lifting someone like that he could easily have pulled something in his back

I’d still have Aussies massive favourites

We could have done without that but it is still a good start. We need to put on at least another 80 without losing another wicket.

complete and utter brain fart again by Crawley
Absolutey no need at all to risk a stumping by going down the pitch, he was on a run a ball
utter stupidty
