Well hello there my snooker buddy 👋, England could be 3 - 0 up, but Australia won the key moments in the first 2 tests, Bairstow was stupid... Simple as that, but if that horrific weather hasn't been around over the weekend, England would have won that test, setting up a fantastic finale at the Oval.. Oh, & Australia haven't won anything, the've retained the Ashes, as it stands they haven't won in England since 2001...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How do you know England would have won the 4th Test? Australia may have gone on to get another 150-200 runs. Remember 1981 when England were still 150 plus behind, with only three wickets left, 500/1 with the bookies. And they still won. What's to say Australia would not have done the same?
And nonsense to say England could have been 3-0 up. The equally could have been 3-0 down.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Because you're stating an example from 42 years ago. If the roles were reversed, you'd probably be claiming that Australia won the test based on the position of dominance.
It's not nonsense to say that England could have been 3-0 up. Just like it could have been 3-0 Australia or 2-1 either way. That's how close contests work and I've not seen any England fans say anything on the contrary. Australians seem to be the same from what I've seen.

Lots of nonsense bring said about how England are going to just walk all over Australia in the final test, get a 2-2 draw out of the series and get a moral victory. What a load of bollox.
I expect this to be another draw or an Aussie win, depends on weather. Aussies been nowhere near their best, but still comfortably better than Engjand at their best. Better bowlers, batters, wicketkeeper.

Wrong as usual. England better side at Oval
A big congratulations are in order
