Who am I to critique Morgan, but I think he let the game drift abit by giving root so many overs

Rashid on much later than I'd expect and Maxwell in the mood to take on that short boundary. It feels like the game is still very much on.
If maxwell is there at the end aus will win.
His wicket is key

Penny for Archer's thoughts. That no ball might end up being costly. Once Maxwell is there Australia can still win this.
I think Langer has threatened to use his Kendo technique, by way of a bat, to rouse his players.
buttler dropping Maxwell is more costly
Morgan shouldn’t have allowed these two batsman 6 overs to settle when he kept Root on.
These games are never over.
I’d definitely fancy England to chase this down from here.
Incredible fortitude from Carey and Maxwell.
Come on lads, get this done.
Maxwell has been too good
Maxwell is such a great player to watch
As has been mentioned, this partnership has been fantastic from Maxwell and Carey.
You miss your chances and suffer the consequence's.

feck's sake. Two very odd games in a row, where the losers will wonder how the hell they let it slip away. Aussies with the last laugh though, barring something unbelievable from the England bowlers.
Maxwell threw it away.. what a pointless shot to let England back in.
Aus look like they have bottled it again.

Game on, great from Jofra and Woody.
It was stupid. They were more or less a run a ball. He didnt need to slog him
Incredible from Rashid and Archer!!!
last over crazy
last over crazy
I can not believe they’ve thrown it away in ten balls..
What a risk, thought it would be Curran
not sure about rashid here. Id go curran
Madness, I thought it was done a few overs ago.
oh ffs
I spoke too soon..
Stupid from Morgan
Anyone watching? Superb from Archer. Just 4 runs and the big wicket of Carey in the penultimate over. 10 to win.
Starc 
Why the hell are they using a spinner for the last over 
Rashid? wtf Morgan
I have no idea why Morgan just did that. It’s not a gamble, it’s completely stupid
Eugh
Oh why not Curran?
Roller coaster of a game. Disappointed with the result but enjoyed the game.
What a game and what a series. Morgan will be asked about Rashid in the final over for sure.
Aussies win. Stupid decision to bowl Rashid when you have Tom fecking Curran.
I never like bowling a spinner when you need a cheap last over
What a match
I could understand the decision if England only needed 1 wicket, or had about 15/16 runs to defend. One of those final six balls was always going over the ropes.
Great match, great summer of cricket, I just had to turn it off quickly when the Aussies started screaming

Why pick Curran if he’s not going to bowl at the death
