It's a bit weird reading the reports of Mitch Marsh.

Some in the media referring to him as our "Most Maligned Cricketer", surely this is a WA / NSW Cricket perspective, because while Warner continues to be selected how can it possibly be the case that Mitch Marsh would be the most maligned by the Australian public?

The Poms are bar room brawlers, .............. literally! :o

But I suppose while we keep playing Warner it's difficult to take the high ground!

Marsh averages mid 20s in test cricket...made all his runs against England. He is maligned for a reason...

Doesn't the adverb matter, "maligned" maybe but "most maligned" hardly? ;)

Reporting Mitch Marsh as the "Most Maligned" just exposes a victim mentality, he can blame his failings on somebody else, in the meantime it's "Don't talk about the war......." for Warner!

Mark Butcher could get excommunicated by English cricket after his comment last night.  It was along the lines of, “I don’t know what all the fuss is about [Bairstow’s dismissal and other similar stumpings and runouts], batsmen shouldn’t wander out of their crease.”

Warner didn't last an over vs Broad, surely the end is nigh?

Mates club so he stays in......plus no one really knocking the door down either. Reckon he will call it quits at series end and stick to the short format stuff. He will be hoping Broad gets rotated out next test after they lose this test and the Ashes.
Think Jimmy will get the last two tests and call it quits too, Joe Root is bowling quicker than Jimmy....

I like how Stokes followed his "spirit of the game" mantra and told the umpire he touched the rope while holding the ball calling it a 4. Well played Sir.

The 3rd umpire needs replacing too...how could he not see that was a four with Stokes arm on the boundary barrier?

First Ashes wicket for Murphy.  Hopefully, the first of many.

Cummins was outstanding.

Not much of a lead but the Poms will be hampered by fragile bowlers.
