You have to wonder if Baz will be looking for a job in a few weeks

Given his one trick pony approach of the last few years, he'll need to pull something out of the bag fast.

Root bowling...white flag

Yep, England's much vaunted 140kmph plus attack can't sustain it.

Scores are level.

Heh. Pop gun once they have to bowl more than a few overs, so they get Root to be tonked instead.

Bus change smashes Root for six to bring up his 50.

Scores level.

Just eight wickets needed to tie. Come on England !

Australia win inside two days...........

Australia 1 England 0

Stand in captain with the winning run.

What a comeback.

Fight, fight and more fight from Australia. The Baggy Greens should be hugely proud of how they seized the initiative and turned this one around.

1-nil

Have been drinking in Tokyo and seen none of this live. What a fucking bizarre outing.

One of the strangest test matches I've ever seen.

Who gets MOM ?

Heads innings was incredible but Starc took a 10fer, gotta give it to the latter I reckon unless the adjudicators are Indian.

Starc motm for me...just. Head was brilliant though.

Can we have a joint motm???

@MN5 Travis Head for me. No other batsman looked remotely as good as him in that match. He made a mockery of England's bowling.

He woulda been a fine choice but 10 wickets is 10 wickets. Starc got it.

First Ashes Test in 104 years to finish inside two days.

Starc. Fucked England's top order both innings.

If our batting showed any patience whatsoever on Day 1 we win by an innings
