Aussies declared few short of 500

Starc made a 50

The Captain stood up and partnered Smith in 140+ run stand

And the Poms are 1 for 23

And what about the no ball by Leach that gave Smith a life on 116?

Spinners should not under any circumstances bowl no balls, especially ones who walk in 6 pages  :lol

We've got to bowl better than the all over the place rubbish we dished up in that middle session.

And there you have it haha. Declared with 20 overs left in the day and a lead of 382.

Plenty of time for England to win it so they'll need to bat to score:)

Bold indeed!

That was nerve-racking as the overs ticked down and we couldn't break the Overton-Leach partnership. However, we finally got there with 12 overs to spare  :thumbsup :phew.

Well done Aussies. Ashes retained  :clapping.

Great captainancy by Paine to take a risk and give the ball to young Marnus

Game changer

Couldn't stay up but I am very proud.

Bowlers have been top shelf and we've found some talent in Marnus.

Excellent leadership from TP. Very bold indeed. No playing it safe like the Poms would have. Went for the kill and took a risk.

Stuck it up the Poms too, who I think have carried themselves in a disgusting manner all series - especially after Monty Panesar's book was released and revealed their own widespread ball tampering. F them, seriously I hope this begins an era of absolute failure for them, they make me sick.

Smith is like the Dusty of cricket!

Also to bring Cummins on early in the day when he snagged the first and cleaned up Roy. Starc was shaping up but he recognised the the vulnerability to Pat (and maybe Cummins' want to make amends for the over throws).

Patto in Starc out for the last test. Bring it on!

Honestly unbelievable. Get that they want more balling rotations but this is bizarre.

Thought he was stiff to miss out on World Cup selection but can’t see how he’s earned his way back into the test side.
