Indictment has impacted Trump among primary voters, but not enough to change outcome. Currently.
Its not going to change. 25% of the GOP electorate are hardcore Trump nutters. Another 30% or so like someone strong who will stick it to the libs. Anyone that tries to go up against Trump gets eviscerated by him and looks weak.
Whoever wins, this is a brilliant advert for Bazball and for Test circket. They said they wanted it to be entertaining and this has served that up in spades. Well done to both England and Australia.

Absolutely, a fantastic advert for this form of the sport. Very well played by both teams, no matter what the result.

Hate to harp on it, but it did end up the difference, and it's not as though it put them under pressure on that first day. It was that glorious treading of the line of boldness and recklessness. Still keep the same attitude, just don't feel the need to always trie to 'shock' people.
This is going well. That was unlucky. It is a good job that England bat deep. We'll get them when we field It looks like its going to rain, that will save us. Well 1-0 is recoverable We've lost but we've got two tests to avoid the whitewash It'll be a different story in Australia

The chances are very high that without that declaration the match would have been a boring draw. I would take this match and its result - even though the Aussies won - absolutely any day over the 'normal' test cricket
Well done to both teams (with a special well done to the Aussies for the win) for making it one of the great, memorable test matches.
Nah. England were honest, inventive and halfway competent. Australia sure were duller, mind.
I think Australia stepped up to the mark very well in the entertainment stakes. And everyone - including all the Aussie commentators - are enthused about this sort of Test Cricket. Even the long time critics of England like Langer and Ponting are enthusiastic about it.

Great test match. I too think the declaration was an error. But I think the turning point was Root's dismissal in the second innings - stumped following a bizarre rush down the wicket and a swish across the line. Most uncharacteristic for a doughty Yorkshireman. Finally, you can only have one MotM and it had to be Khawaja, despite Cummins's heroics.
Can people please stop adding 20-30 runs plus extra time onto our first innings total and pretend that everything that followed after would be identical? It would change the course of every subsequent innings, and Australia may well have batted longer and slower and for a draw at the end.
We want the opposition to play for the win and fall short by taking the draw off the table as the safe route. We timed things well and it took a brilliant 9th wicket partnership to win the game for Australia.
Well played to them, and to England. No need for recriminations after such a brilliant first Test.

Just a tad over three an over both innings? Several long periods of turgid batting. England's bizarre fields and quirky bowling changes kept it interesting.
If England had put another 30 on instead of declaring we'd probably have won
We never looked like getting a wicket after the drop. The only difference was the time. England have addressed one of their problems IE slow scoring. We still struggle to get the tail out.

To clarify if they needed another 50 we wouldn't have got it

Need someone with a bit more pace. 4 bowlers at 80ish didn't provide enough variety.
Mind you, Jimmy will be retiring immediately if he has to play on pitches like that forever more.
Australia traded at a high of 19.5 with thousands traded around 11 (or 10/1 in old money).
England reached a low of 1.21.
Sadly, it's usually a good strategy to bet against the patriotic choice, as people like to bet on what they want to happen...
Good advice about 30 years ago but very much out of date. Cricket match odds markets are set nearly entirely by the Indian market. Football match odds by the Asian/Chinese market.
If England had put another 30 on instead of declaring we'd probably have won
That if is doing some work. Another 30 would have taken 6 overs out the game. Which means they'd have shut up shop.
It may well have been a draw. But Root and Robinson could have got England well past 400. The Australians would have been quite happy when England declared. And you should always do what the opposition don’t want you to do.
The decline in the Scots Nats, if sustained, will also significantly reduce the chance of a hung Parliament, with all the weakness and instability that entails. Of course, getting rid of the Northern Irish would reduce it much further, as well as saving the English taxpayer a fortune, but sadly there is no hope of that at the moment.

Scotland 1-0 up against Georgia already but taken off the pitch which is currently unplayable. I hope England can show the same level of consistency in due course.

Benefit mostly mortgage holders in the South, and prop up house prices for owners without a mortgage too.
However worst hit will be employed renters in the South, who have to pay extra tax to sub their landlords and drive up the price of houses they want to buy, as per usual.

Exactly. The whole point of what McCullum and Stokes are doing is to make Test cricket more entertaining by playing for a result, not settling for draws. That means changing the distribution of outcomes, so there will be fewer draws, more losses, but hopefully marginally more wins.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating obviously, but everything we've seen so far since McCullum and Stokes have taken over has been very encouraging. The whole England team looks a hell of a lot happier than they have in many years, and they are playing good and entertaining cricket.
One of the things I hate love about the Aussies is that they always give it a go. When it comes to sport — any sport — Aussies never phone it in. I am loving England playing in a similar fashion.

But someone threw a ball towards some sticks and then someone with a different stick sometimes hit the ball away from the sticks. Sometimes someone else threw the ball back at the original sticks.
Great test match. Australia did remarkably well, at times they seemed beatable, they were not.
But, I fear that the Ashes series is gone. England just have too many frailties against a better team. They came close this time, but lost. Not 5-0, but 3-1?
Batsmen: plenty; fast bowlers: plenty; spinners? wicket keeper? you tell me.
A test where the cheap dismissals of two or three great/very good batsmen, and where Root's late superb catch, failed to win the match tells us something.

Sure it's unlikely - but that unlikely?
Only 8 overs to go. And 7pm.
Worth remembering if we'd had DRS for that match Aus would have won.
And Lyon has just put matters beyond doubt.
Although the bookies would look askance at that outcome.
AUS deserve the win by chasing 280.
Getting out the tail remains a problem for us.
We can come back!
England reached a low of 1.21.
That was unlucky.
It is a good job that England bat deep.
We'll get them when we field
It looks like its going to rain, that will save us.
Well 1-0 is recoverable
We've lost but we've got two tests to avoid the whitewash
