Stokes faking injury to avoid the ton with the ball.

Watch him magically appear again once they have Boland to bowl at.
Would love Beau to ton up here, put some pressure on Green to actually either perform or learn how to
It's hard to tell when Stokes is struggling as he seems to have a permanent scowl on his face, when he is not throwing his head back & sooking at everything that happens on field

Haha, less diplomatic than me. The contrast between him and Neser was stark. Neser is a fit, strong bull and it shows in his physique. Head looks like he sculls a beer in between training exercises.
In some ways it's a credit to Head that he has that much talent that he can be so dominant without the fitness, but I wonder just how good he would be if he took his fitness seriously.

My cheap gags aside, he doesn't need to be alpha bro with pipes and a waxed chest. He'd be just that little bit better than he already is if he was 4 or 5 kgs lighter and had the odd jog.

I dunno it's kinda nice to have a Boon/Lehmann like character in the team.
He looks like a classic 80's/90's cricketer

Remember the KEG named David Boon!!!!
Very good century by Bethel. He looks like a long term test cricketer and he plays with sensible shot selection. Something that is rare in this England side.

Shows Englands first innings was manifestly indeaquate. With a 475 plus total even Jacks and Bethell could have spun them to victory, let alone a specialist.

One wonders what's the longest Bethell has ever batted in any form of cricket. Can't be too far away from it.
Wonderfull knock by Bethell. What a way to bring up your first first class century.Very composed all throughout his innings.
Who wins the player of the series, that is now the question.
Starc led the field by a long way before the home turn, but the pack are closing in.And all that was because of his bowling. So add his performances with the bat and what do we get!
Head with three tons, flying home.
Carey with a ton and some superb performances behind the stumps.
Maybe Root gets a bit of a look in, but will finish a way back I reckon.
Still Starc to win comfortably I think.

That was an annoyingly good hundred from Bethell. That kid can seriously play.

Struggling to think of such composure in a young overseas player making their first test match ton anywhere in Australia. Probably the best hundred of that sort since Lara's.
Might be time for Cam Green to have a spell.
Not the end but he needs to figure out one discipline and own it.
And thats the batting.
Atm he cant score runs doesnt bowl enough and when he does we have these dumb short tactics.
His neither here or there in both facets despite talented.
Stokes had at least 4 or 5 test tons by the same stage.
Green should have had more by now then 2 Tons. And he doesnt bowl enough to justify the lack of runs.
My opinion on Green.
The coaching staff , the selectors need to look at how they have fcked him over.
He has batted from opener to number eight. FFS give him a spot to bat. This spot is yours for a series. . Stop usining him like a lift. Up down, up down.
Then as a bowler they tell him to do what is not his style. Bowl short
. Bowl it like you enjoy it. That is not how he won his spot as an allrounder. He was a swing bowler that pitched the ball up. Swung it, both ways. With the ability to bowl bouncers at 140 ks.Selectors have fcked the young mans mind.

Agree, Starc for the player of the series. He has bowled superbly all series while leading the Australian attack for all 5 matches. Starc's pace has never dropped below 140kmh from start to finish unlike the English bowlers, except Stokes. He also contributed many valuable runs.
Travis Head has been sensational with batting that has broken English hearts on a few occasions. A dominant series by him.
Carey has elevated his game to a new hight with outstanding work behind the stumps and solid batting.
Stokes has been heroic for England and has earned himself the respect of many Aussie fans with his never say die attitude. A pity for him that he didn't have enough teammates who could put in the same work rate to push Australia harder.

I was obviously talking about his mediums (I.e. his primary form on which he was selected as an all rounder), but you knew that.Oh yeah , tell us more…

Starc was more important when the series was alive, has to be him. The first two tests without Cummins he was absolutely enormous
Paracleet, are you talking about Webster as a spinner or a medium pacer?
As a quick! he struggles to get over 130. But that is how and what he bowls. He does swing the ball and gets movement off the wicket. As a spinner he is not required to bowl fadt or ssing the ball.
He is good value as an AR.

I genuinely think Bailey Smith modelled his whole bogan persona off of Head. They did both go to prestigious private schools.
Only Head isn't a narcissist FIGJAM who chucks hissy fits at photographers and then cries about his mental health
