Looks that way - all the rubbish forgotten if England manage a win.
Back to being World beaters!
Listening on the radio. It's not proper cricket though is it.
we're making tough work of it........
I ain't heard no fat lady....
Oh dear god....
12 to win, last over, 8 off first two balls. Hmmm.....
FFS etc
I think someone spoke too bloody soon!
Gutting.
RM.
right now if they fell into a barrel of tits, they'd come out sucking their thumbs.
Bad tactics in the last 2 overs. Stokes bowls 2 yorkers both dot balls. Bangs it in, goes for 6. No more Yorkers, ball whistles to boundary repeatedly.
But it's ok, it was all KP's fault, right?
You must be the only person getting a harder time right now than him
must be tough being in oz right now
Diabolical
We would have won if not for the dodgy 6 that turned into a 2. The guy was yards outside the rope but jumped in the air and palmed it back onto the pitch. Seems some confusion on the rules..
I was going edit the title to put spoiler in but I'll leave it as a nice surprise.

No confusion whatsoever. If the fielder is not touching the rope or the ground beyond the boundary when he handles the ball, it's not a boundary until such a time as he does.
We'd have won if Cook had focussed on the matter in hand to take the last few wickets quickly, rather than thinking "that's a high enough score", and letting them get back in. Captain clueless strikes again.

It's actually the other way round - given as two runs during the innings, changed to a 6 in the interval. Because the last point of contact the fielder had with the ground before he touched the ball was outside the field of play, he's classed as being over the boundary. If he'd jumped from inside the pitch, pushed the ball back over and landed over the rope, that wouldn't've been a boundary

Let's not forget our proper cricket team.

That was a properly ace game of cricket to watch last night! Honestly gave us no chance once Johnson got out leaving just Faulkner and Mckay, just one mistake and it was all over, but those two (primarily Faulkner of course) just did an amazing job, was brilliant to watch (maybe not so much for Mr Cook and co ha ha 😈 ).
