Australia clinch a famous 2-wicket win in the 1st Ashes Test against England at Edgbaston

[Devadwal]

Need a wickets so things can go spicy as an neutral fans

 

[MP2011]

The importance of bowlers who can bat decently when needed. If this was India, it is game over.

Had it been us, surely we won't have got this game into 5th day.

 

[Ahmed216]

Celebrations are going to be very wild whoever wins from here

 

[Markhor]

Yep. I was too young for it but Lords 1992 - Wasim and Waqar literally chase down a small total themselves vs ENG after the specialist batsmen flopped.

Bowlers must perform in their primary skill but should at least be able to hold a bat.

 

[Rana]

Broad acting like a spoilt primadona again

 

[MP2011]

Broad acting like a spoilt primadona again

What did he do?

 

[Firebat]

Broad acting like a spoilt primadona again

To be honest I'm leaning towards supporting the Aussies simply because Broad and Robinson are so unlikeable

 

[Champ_Pal]

Whoever loses, it will be seriously heartbreaking. Both deserve to win from here.

 

[Saj]

Most teams would have played for a draw once Carey was out.

Not Australia. Brilliant stuff.

 

[Amjid Javed]

14 needed, amazing test so far

 

[Markhor]

I disliked Broad for a while but you should see some of his recent social media content. He did a great football crossover piece with Carragher and Neville, and came across well.

Robinson is a total prat.

 

[Ahmed216]

Very poor from stokes. Can't give easy singles to lyon

 

[Champ_Pal]

Only 13 needed. A couple of streaky boundaries will do it.

A wicket here, England will win.

 

[Major]

what a game this is

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Yes Broad has matured. Robinson thinks he's Mcgrath.

 

[Ahmed216]

This pitch is so docile. England tactics have a forced a result actually

 

[Major]

Most teams would have played for a draw once Carey was out.

Not Australia. Brilliant stuff.

yup, this is true. Especially Pakistan

 

[Marooned]

What a classic!

 

[MenInG]

yup, this is true. Especially Pakistan

am afraid we would have been gone by now!

 

[shaz619]

Australian tail is the best in the world they never stop fighting

 

[Amjid Javed]

A boundary from somewhere would be good for Aussies right now

12 needed

 

[Markhor]

Win or lose, ENG need to think about the lack of pace in their attack.

Especially if the pitches are going to behave like this.

 

[Rana]

What a shot Gary!

 

[Major]

what a shot by the GOAT

 

[Firebat]

We are witnessing an ATG match. Drink it in

 

[Saj]

Nerves of steel Lyon.

Sern it all before.

 

[Protea Fan]

Virat kohlisquie flick from lyon lol

 

[MP2011]

Only 7 needed now

 

[JibranAnsari]

Great from lyon

 

[MP2011]

Nerves of steel from these 2

 

[MP2011]

England wasting time.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Ollie Robinson with his daft sledge to Khawaja turned the Aussies into monsters. He woke up the beast in them.

Khawaja Man of the Match, both innings were vital in this win.

Well played England too.

Edgbaston is a dream for test cricket.

Last chance saloon for England, next over.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Somebody like Mark Wood would have taken out these tailenders easily.

No tailender will be scared of Broad, Ollie and their gentle pace.

 

[Rana]

Need 2 back to back wickets

It has to be Anderson

 

[Major]

What a match this is, atleast the loser wont complain, but it was the first or one match....

 

[Champ_Pal]

Give the ball to Jimmy fools. He is their only chance.

 

[Amjid Javed]

5 to win for Aussies now.

 

[Champ_Pal]

No variety in England bowling. All right arm gentle medium pacers and an inured offie.

 

[Major]

i want a tie

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

One more wicket to fall.. Australia to win by one wicket in hand..
Pat Cummins player of the match

 

[Firebat]

Cummins is playing with fire here...

 

[Major]

poor shot there by cummins, allow his wickets to be exposed. He survived that one. Could had thrown the game there

 

[KingKhanWC]

Smart by Cummings , no need to hook one.

 

[Major]

One more wicket to fall.. Australia to win by one wicket in hand..
Pat Cummins player of the match

if Aus wins, there is no way cummins get MOTM, it will go to Khwaja

 

[Protea Fan]

Give the ball to Jimmy fools. He is their only chance.

Even stokes understood he was pretty mediocre this test

His under performance along with some absurd slogging from top order batters cost eng this match imo

 

[Markhor]

That was a good yorker attempt. I know you can always get it wrong and bowl a full toss but surprised we haven't seen more tried.

 

[KingKhanWC]

One more over.

Broad can be a hero, the only who has taken a couple of quick wickets.

Aus deserve the win imo.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Lyon to hit a massive Six.

 

[Major]

btw what is that name of the concept where you live in england but dont support them? THe tibet test? or what is that phrase?

 

[Champ_Pal]

Even stokes understood he was pretty mediocre this test

Jimmy could have done some damage with the new ball. It is his bread and butter.

 

[Firebat]

if Aus wins, there is no way cummins get MOTM, it will go to Khwaja

Yep he's scored the most runs in the match and has batted on every single day, it's only because of him they are anywhere near a win when all Smith Labu Warner were mediocre in the match.

 

[MP2011]

Only 4 needed now.

 

[Protea Fan]

Jimmy could have done some damage with the new ball. It is his bread and butter.

He was spraying the ball today start of the play when clouds were there

Not a good test he had

 

[Major]

CUmmins taking those on his body

 

[Energy]

Champion team, Australia.

Don't think any No.9 and No.10 have the skills to bat under this pressure.

 

[Firebat]

This is such disciplined batting, they are waiting so patiently for the bad ball. Aussies have got bottle

 

[DeadlyVenom]

btw what is that name of the concept where you live in england but dont support them? THe tibet test? or what is that phrase?

Tebbit test.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Cummings must stay patient the bad ball will come .

 

[Major]

3 to win

 

[Major]

Tebbit test.

thank you bro

 

[Champ_Pal]

Give the strike to Lyon. He will finish it with one blow

 

[JattMaula]

Instant Classic test!

 

[Ahmed216]

This short stuff was required earlier on.

 

[Amjid Javed]

3 to win, 1 shot will do it.

 

[therealAB]

The Ashes is so much better than anything else

 

[DeadlyVenom]

If Aus wins then Khwaja is MOTM. Gun player.

Cummins not far behind.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

What a knock Cummins!!!

 

[Major]

what aa wiinnnnnnn ))

 

[MP2011]

Australia win

 

[KingKhanWC]

Jimmy would have been better bowling now.

All over

Great classic win for Australia. Congratulations.

Credit to England too.

Birmingham Edgbaston the best ground for the greatest format.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Patty Cummins - Whaddaplaya!

 

[Markhor]

Patrick James Cummins take a bow.

One of the finest Test victories of all time.

 

[Firebat]

Pat Cummins is the best cricket player on this planet

 

[Major]

and thats why bazball is a flawed concept

 

[Amjid Javed]

Well done Aussies, well done Cummins brilliant knock

 

[Champ_Pal]

Brilliant from Cummins. A true Captain's knock.

 

[Firebat]

and thats why bazball is a flawed concept

To be fair Bazball chased down 378 at this ground last year with 7 wickets to spare

 

[Champ_Pal]

and thats why bazball is a flawed concept

Bazball is good. The declaration was madness.

 

[Ab Fan]

All hail Patty Cummins!

Sends English and Pakistani fans home crying :

 

[Ahmed216]

and thats why bazball is a flawed concept

Bazball is fine. Win or lose no boring draws. Bazball bulldozed pak 3-0 at home
