How did Adelaide Day Four unfold and put Australia four wickets from Ashes victory?
this podcast is part of the sports social podcast network by taking it to day five england have avoided the issue of losing the ashes in 10 days for the first time since 1921 there was that
Question mark, can a fast bowler be a great captain? And I said, well, Imran Khan became president of Pakistan.
That's the worst batting I've ever seen. I was like, oh gosh, what's happened there?
Been too many times where England are leaking runs and not building the pressure. And to me, that comes down to discipline and execution.
Looks like he's about to burst.
The first day of the game and he was walking across the arena and I said hello to him. And he looks so, fuck what you say, like he's going to burst.
It's almost over. Australia four wickets away from winning the Ashes in Adelaide. Joining me in Adelaide in the Channel 7 commentary box is Justin Langer, four-time Ashes winner himself. JL, what England fans want to hear really is, is it going to rain on day five there?
Well, whatever way, it doesn't matter if it rains or it doesn't, does it, Brodie? Because even if it rains, we still retain the ashes. So you're probably hoping it doesn't rain. That's what you hope for. There might be. It rarely rains much in Australia, as you know. So if you're looking for, I'm not sure whether that's a positive slant or a negative slant, Brodie. Are you hoping it does or you're not hoping it does?
I'll take anything. I'll take anything a minute. Otherwise, we're hoping for a Will Jacks 150 or something, aren't we? But let me just read out what's happened in the day. England took the last Australian wicket, six of them for 38 runs to set themselves a world record 435 to win. Got 277 for three where the hope was raised. We were looking pretty positive and then three quick wickets to Nathan Lyon and not just three normal wickets. It was Brook, it was Stokes, it was Crawley, but you feel like England
were a little bit better they showed a little bit more uh fight and grit and skill yeah more than that like i i thought i said after the day's play last night i was asked i went more australia retire and i declare are they going to get 450 or declare it and i said what are you talking about like there is no way australia will declare there's no reason to oh yeah but it'd be nice to win it but Blah, blah, blah. But, mate, there's no way Australia were going to declare because it's about winning the Ashes, right? At the end of the day, it's the Ashes series, and they would have been thinking like that. So, England have bowled so well this morning, particularly with Head and Carey like they were. It was a great effort.
I really liked Josh Tung. I thought he bowled really well. Your boys caught well. It was good to see Ben Stokes bowl today. So, overall, it was a really good start. And then I have to say this as well. With 45 minutes left of play, I was on air with Ali Mitchell and I said to her that if England go in four down tonight, just over 200 runs, they're going to see themselves as a real chance because it's still a really flat wicket. But unfortunately, Ben got out a good ball off Nathan Lyon, although he didn't get much past the front crease, asked Ben. And those last two wickets, obviously, it's well and truly back in Australia's favour. But it was a good day's cricket, very good day's cricket.
Yeah we talk about sort of shot selection and actually first thing I woke up this morning and I clicked on Instagram and it was actually for Love Cricket Instagram page and it just said Ponting said that's the worst batting I've ever seen I was like oh gosh what's happened here and it was sort of Brooke's scoop shot they didn't get out to off Boland but but he did get out to reverse sweep I saw Duckett's sort of poke outside off stump which is a former left-handed opening batter you must have been shaking in your boots when you saw him play that but but do you Do you think it was bad batting in a sense, or do you think actually Australia have just been so relentless with what they've done that England have been forced to make mistakes?
