The Ashes

[rsbaggy2]

Anyway, here's to a Stokes double ton tomorrow 

Any chance of us batting all through the helpful day conditions and getting some defendable total, and then skitling out Australia under the floodlights in the trickier twilight batting conditions?

Like they didn't do yesterday?

Quite. I'm not sure how you've seen it as a neutral, but it's very much a case of England losing the match, rather than Australia doing anything special to win it.

Neutral? Hahahahaha.

I don’t have an affinity to either side. 
At the top end of cricket it's about rivalry. Both Aussies and England are rivals of India  ... which is what you  allude to.

I think that qualifies as neutral or close to it.

I don't really care whether you think different.. it's your opinion.
