Wow, LFC watching the cricket? Looks like that final of the World Cup succeeded in bringing new people close to the sport! Grin

Thanks to Stokes :-P

Does anyone know if Smith is going to be in the 11 for the 4th Test? I need to do a multibet but before I do, I need to know Smith is there. If Smith is playing then Australia is going to win easily.

Yes. Steve Smith will be part of the playing XI for the 4th test. You can check this:

https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/18659/scorecard/1169534/derbyshire-vs-australians-tour-match-australia-in-eng-2019

He is currently part of the playing XI in the warm up match against Derbyshire. So in all probability, he will be playing in the 4th test. But I think you are a bit overoptimistic when you say that Australia is going to win "easily" if Smith makes it to the playing XI. From what I have seen, one-man armies are not very efficient in winning the matches on a constant basis (Kohli is another example). Cricket is a team sport and you need at least some support from the remaining 10 players to win the game.

Maybe Indian cricket board might have given Ashwin rest for the upcoming series against South Africa which is scheduled for the upcoming month.

I have not seen Ashwin play in a very long time, may be because of the competition in the side as they have a well balanced bowling unit, if there is a Test series in the sub continent we might see two spinners playing. Jadeja is a much better player in the team with his brilliant fielding and he is bowling really well and a useful batsman lower down the order.

These days every test matches were getting results as mentioned in a post. This makes the test matches to be more interesting and watchable for the fans who stopped watching test cricket and moved to T20 matches.

It is because the captains are taking an aggressive approach than the old generation, earlier we used to see players looking for a draw rather than winning, but now every team is playing aggressively and so is the reason we are seeing results.

Isn't it 1-1? Australia won the 1st test, 2nd one is drawn and England won the 3rd. Both team has opportunity to lift the Ashes 2019, however, Australia could have changed bowlers which is likely to be happened in nezt matches.

It's 1-1 only.

The best thing about test matches are able to yield a result unlike earlier times when teams used to not declare and the matches used to end in a draw. May be because these are WC matches.

WI vs IND: Jadeja will be playing in place of Ashwin. Don't know why they can't play both.
Keemo Paul will play in place of Cummins. The later's SR is better but he is still a newbie unlike Cummins. WI are out of options.

Yes, we are seeing results at the end of test matches, but previously we don't see results because in most cases players are very experienced and they will continue to play but now things were changed in test matches. Definitely test matches will be more interesting and even fans will show lots of interest towards the test matches.

I am expecting Australia to decimate England in the upcoming test since Stokes cannot save them everytime and Smith might be returning after his concussion recently. Anderson could also return making this a heated contest.

Would love to see Anderson and Archer vs Smith currently. I do hope that the umpires do a better job this time around since their standards have fallen a lot lately.

4th Test is 4th - 8th September so still a while for players to recover from that epic 3rd Test. AUS can guarantee that they keep the Ashes if they win so ENG are going to have to be really up for it again.

@Raja_MBZ even I’m surprised to see him here as I always find him discussing about premier league, and posting photos from match day welcome here your insights will make this thread even more engaging. Australia are starting to get unpredictable and sloppy, I cannot get over the fact that Tim choosed a DRS appeal when the ball was clearly going leg side and that caused Australia the match. Also did anyone here see the banter between Warne and Prior it was funny, and if England wins it I’m expecting Prior to once again target Warne and Lyon.

Nothing can be said with surety on where the Ashes will go on from here. We have some excited and unexpected cricket all around and both of the teams have not shown a complete dominance over the other. So who ever plays better will win the next two tests but excitement is awaiting for us in these two remaining matches.

Right now Australia is up 2-1, but the momentum is with England after their controversial win during the third match. I want Australia to win the series, but they are making bad decisions in selection which has definitely come back to bite them. One thing is common with all the three matches that were completed till now. In all the matches, the English lower order was able to score crucial runs (especially against spin bowling). And this is why I have always said that they are committing a grave mistake by dropping Mitchell Starc. Nathan Lyon is useless against the lower order batsmen and they can't depend on just two bowlers (Hazlewood and Cummins). The selection for the third match was weird. Pattinson was picked ahead of Starc and even now I can't understand the logic behind that decision.

I don't agree with users claiming Ben Stokes as one of the best players in the world right now. IMO, he is a very over-rated player and he is incapable of single-handedly leading his team to victory. On the other hand, Steve Smith and Virat Kohli have led their team to victories all by themselves several times. Stokes has done that on a few occasions, but he is miles behind Smith / Kohli.

I thing he is a good all rounder player at the moment considering the past few innings he has played and has definately desreved to fall in that category. Though not be the best but surely he can be considered in that zone as he has delivered under tremendous pressure which not every can play that sort of innings and bowl as well .

No one comparing Stokes with Smith/Kohli as these both are typical batsmen and third one is in all-rounders category never any one compare Stokes with these and stokes time is now starting as he has some good innings we can say bright future is waiting for this great all rounder.

Welcome Bro

Aussie going to retain The Ashes because chances are Joel Wilson not going to play for England this time Tongue

. England need to keep up their game and not relaying on Ben Stokes alone. More importantly Joe Root need to play Captain's inning in next game, this dude has every capability to become a Great but his conversion rate of 100s sucks really bad.

It was nightmare for Murli, in field players were literally cursing him " Black Cunt" and few spectators joined as well in this shit when they walked out. i don't remember who was the Umpire but i remember watching interviews of some Australian legends and according to them Umpire's call was purely inspired with his own prejudice.

This is why I mentioned that Stokes is one of the best at the moment, but there are so many epic cricketers like him currently like Steve Smith and Virat Kohli who are leagues away from in comparison.

Correct, no doubt Stokes is one of the best of this modern cricket but telling him all time best is very wrong.

Stokes still has a long way to go to establish himself as a legend in the world of Cricket, but he is getting there step by step. He is providing terrific entertainment value currently though he still needs to be more consistent.

Stokes has better future awaiting and if he continue like this then some day in the future we may tell him one of the all timer but surely not yet.

Okay i agree, minus 100 runs. 50 from Rohit and 50 from Raina. India won by 9 runs happy now bro

Where's the calculation which Mahmudullah can score wh was given a wrong out? Come on bro. It's not about win or loss. It's about either poor decision or corruption which is likely to be true in that match.

To call someone the greatest of all time he needs to prove this time and again but the innings he played in both instances are incredible and one of the best i have seen in a very long time.
