Until those 2nd innings overs, the only real effort Archer showed was carrying his pillow into the ground 😁 #ashes 🏏

Archer could not look Smith in the eyes when they shook hands, says so much. Embarrassed? Humbled? Humiliated? Hard to say. It definitely was saying something. #Ashes

That’s precisely Smith’s point!

Final session is Australia vs a tropical storm. Might have to do this in 3-4 overs tops. #Ashes

Things that make Archer happy - his pillow

That he’s coming in now bowling 150km/h when the game is gone, sums him up for me. Where was this earlier?

Also England realising that speed without placement is easy to beat. Meanwhile Neser takes 5 bowling 132kmh. #Ashes

Reckless batting was bad but the fielding was even worse. Atrocious. Anyway, hope you kick your head cold soon. Matter of fact…go back to bed!

I think you’re hurting mate and I get it. Your team has let you down.

But the fact is the #1 test side over the last 5 years is smashing the #6 or #7 ranked test side. But still there’s zero credit going to the Aussies who are performing flawlessly. This isn’t an upset in any way, shape or form.

Yep. It’s The World Game. Not that orange shitstain’s game. In fact, people might even love and celebrate football even more, in a sort of weird way to spite that pedo dickhead. #FIFAWC

We need to bat time in the ☀️ tomorrow. This 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 bowling attack is in shambles.

Wood already 🤕. Stokes cramping. Carse blind with exhaustion and can't catch sitters. Archer exhausted and off-line. Atkinson hasn't looked threatening at all. This lineup won't make it to ADL.

Big Greeny takes a crushing blow on the thumb. There’s blood.

What the mics didn’t pick up was what he said to the trainer:

This should be a good test, England’s late surge yesterday could be vital. I was critical of Stokes’ captaincy but to be fair, Smith messed up late with field placings too. Archer and Root took the invite and batted brilliantly. Test cricket for the win! #Ashes

UPDATE: Aussie bowlers fail to capitalise on the free gift from Stokes by completing shitting the bed and gifting the momentum (and a 20/20 field setting) to England. #Ashes

England making a half-reasonable total behind some Root brilliance and class today, but some clueless captaincy here could cost them. We’ll see. #AUSvENG #Ashes
