So they are just like us?
It's a shame for us Lyon was injured and this test result has been impacted by weather, it had the makings of an all-time classic series. At least there is a bit of animosity between the sides so the 5th test should still be hard fought despite the ashes being decided.
He's right though isn't he? Not often you have nearly 2 days lost to rain. And even if they declared earlier unlikely to have changed anything. Poms getting damned either way, declaring too early and too late.OK guys, enough of the Pom bashing. Stokes has declared that no one understands the game as well as he and his team do.
"To be honest, anybody that was going to question the declaration in this game, probably doesn't understand the game as well as we do. We've had three hours of cricket in two days, whatever we did we wouldn’t have been able to force a result because of the weather. It is what it is."
Ben Stokes snaps at declaration question as England's Ashes dream ended by rain
England made the decision not to declare during the first innings of the fourth Ashes Test and even though Australia have now retained the urn due to unrelenting rain in Manchester, Ben Stokes isn't regretfulwww.mirror.co.uk

Saw a tweet, in jest, that it would have been better if it washed out with 9 down, which is a bit evil, but funny.
As I said in an earlier post, it's not the 1st time rain has decided an Ashes series & it certainly won't be the last.
The English should just shut up & accept the fact that they're on the wrong side of it this time.
It has certainly happened the other way (in their favor) before.
SHUT UP & STOP WHINGEING. YOU'RE COMING ACROSS AS A BUNCH OF VERY POOR LOSERS.
I wonder how they feel about the World Cup that they TIED with New Zealand. That one should have a * next to it. No moaning about rule changes there.
Yeah it’s a damning stat but to be fair Warner takes the new ball.
I suspect Starc’s average wouldn’t be mid. 20s if he opened the batting. He would have a few not outs as well.
Warner’s performance is sub par for sure
I’d play Harris in the last test, or even Renshaw.
If I follow...
England are the better side. Miles better. 4-0 moral winners. Better bowlers. Better batsmen.
So if that's the case...
Did Bazball cost them the Ashes?

We can only speculate of course, IMO it narrowed the gap. Emboldened them and psyched us out at times. So no.
Poor poms. They seem to be under the impression that in a 5 test series, only the last 3 tests count. That’s the only conclusion I can come to from hearing how they’ve dominated us this series but also being 2-0 down 
Neser and Murphy should come in for Green and Hazlewood. We saw the folly of not playing a specialist spinner, and on these dead pitches you need swing bowlers - Cummins, Hazle and Green are all hit the deck types.
I was going to post Warner has a big score around the corner....
Cant believe AMac beat me to it!!!
I’m very confident we would have made over 500 runs in the last innings if it wasn’t for the proxy rain.
Bloody draw, we was robbed.
