@Godder said in Ashes 2019:
If looking for great English spinners, Jim Laker comes to mind:
193 wickets in 46 matches, average 21.24, economy 2.04. Has the record for the best bowling in a test of 19/90 (not a typo), and most wickets in a 5 match Ashes series of 46.
He's been dead for 33 years, otherwise he might have been a good call for the squad for Tests 4 and 5.

England have never chased down more than 350 to win a test.
They'll have to set a record to do it.
It's good that Archer isn't afraid to go short to the Aussie tail. They, of course, don't give a fuck about intimidation, knowing the best intimidation is to get England out for under 200.
England fielding has been woeful. Overthrows, misfields, dropped catches.

@NTA whilst I do believe it is a fait accompli ( it's easy to get romantic about test chases even though the overwhelming odds state that 300 is way too much),
I did get in early in the slim hope that the fat singing wench is preoccupied with the buffet and misses her cue! 😉
if only to keep the series alive...
