I suppose this is where I get to eat my words, but Webster got 3, Jacks got 1. You would have to say a full time spinner would have done some damage. I also discarded the fact that England seemed to be trying to lose at times. Australia weren't much better either. Shot selection, what even is it?

Maybe they could have donated some of those umpteen high speed cameras the Aussie TV commentators keep going on about (did you know the technology is used in baseball *and* golf?) to Snicko to make it less shite. #TheAshes #cricket #AUSvENG

Wonder what punishments will be dealt out after this game: Rules state: "Deliberate physical contact with an umpire is a serious offence, a Level 4 misconduct under the ICC Code of Conduct, leading to potential match bans, fines, and points deductions for severe breaches" #AUSvENG #Ashes #Ashes2025 #cricket

It's interesting listening to Jacob Bethell's native Barbadian accent. #ashes #cricket #AUSvENG
