Not read the backlog on here and been away for a few days but managed to tune in to most of the test
Firstly, great game and a pattern you feel we will see in the Stokes/Baz era, could easily have drawn the game or played for a draw but they will never do that, said all along in fairness to them that they will play result cricket and the mentaility in both innings, the decleration and the fields all played into that
Unique how they do it, no other test sides plays anything like it and sometimes it will work out, sometimes not, definitely felt Englad were in the box seat for 75% of the test but lack of fully fit bowlers IMO cost us in the end, bodes well for the rest of the summer but losing the opening Ashes test is never ideal and the Aussies will have a boost when really they should have been shell shocked from what they witnesses for 5 days
Definite defeat from the jaws of victory on this occasion
