Fair play to Wagner. Man got utterly destroyed in the 1st test but got it done when it mattered here.

Lol

Just found out that Windies win was actually the only other 1 run win….ever.

Well glad I’ve seen them both.

Was that the Ambrose 7-1 game? Is amazing how close it was. Well played New Zealand

**doh just seen the scored. Curtley still did all right though

England v Australia at Edgbaston 2005 was a 2-run win.

A truly nerve-wrecking day. Also ended in a similar fashion to this game. Strangled down leg

Lost after enforcing the follow on - like the Aussies in '81 and against India in '01 when VVS and Dravid batted through the whole of day 4.

But we declared our first innings with Root on 153*. If Stoked had given him one more over....

My mate said last night that we shouldn't have declared then despite me saying that we got 2 wickets in that half hour before lunch. He said we should still win today but imagine us doing that in the Ashes.

So the Ambrose 7 for 1 was in the next test to win it…helluva series that one.

Aussies won the 1st, next 2 were draws and then Windies pull off a come from behind win in the 4th and 5th tests.

And I think that’s the last time they ever won in Australia. Might be wrong but I’m pretty sure if that.

I think you are right - coming to the end of the glory days while McGrath and Warne were just starting out. Warne only bowled 8 overs in that match!

Ridiculous isn't it. Still a pretty decent side out

I watched 10 minutes of it and started to fall asleep so switched it off now.

It’s so sloooooow.

I've got it on at work - so a nice distraction. Not a great game though

If India can clean up Australia for under 200 we might have a serious cliffhanger on our hands.

Lord they didn’t help themselves by going for 109 in the first innings but this one might not be over yet.

Really need to get my sleep patterns back to normal.

Thank god the Ashes is back in England this time. I couldn’t take them wonky times in Australia…like that place with the half hour time zone.

Like they special or something.

I know India has it as well but they’re closer so the times are easier…

India's makes sense. Basically the country, while tall, is still so wide it really out to be 2 times zones, GMT+5/6. But by doing it this way, GMT+5.30, they keep the whole nation united on the same clock.

The strange one is fücking Nepal. Pak is +5, Bang is +6, bith as they should be. Nepal, which is surrounded on 3 sides by India isn't the same as India, but is GMT+5.45. Lovely people, though, it's just the "well at 15 mins needlessly just to look different" bit I find strange.

Wotcha gonna do when they become a test playing powerhouse?

Well we have a game here…Aussies bowled out for 197 and India just 13 behind with 7 wickets left.

Just need to grind out 150+ and they’ll have them on the ropes imo

Blimey - look away for ten minutes and they collapse. It's like they can't play spin

Yep and they were making a good fight if it.

Meanwhile Windies blew one in South Africa.

Bowled them out for 116 and needed just 247 for the win but collapsed.
