Thanks

Generational talent.

Getting stumped off pace bowling would be a very Harry Brook way to get out

Crazy cricket

 

[DorothyG]

Lmao, just pack up and go home England. Beyond embarrassing at this point.

 

[matthew_s]

Captain courageous.

18 wickets so far in a single day. Absolute madness.
100% a bowlers pitch.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Can't wait to catch my flight tonight, Day 3 ticket all raring to go...

 

[Ochre]

He loves these situations Stokes

It is, but it's been an incredibly poor display of batting.

Put prime Michael Clarke out there, a la on the South African greentops, you'd see some class and patience.

 

[Farang83150]

Obviously a bowlers pitch but both teams have to bat on it!

I was thinking similar. This is Test cricket. Emphasis on Test. You have to be able to manage it.

 

[Tugga27]

And people were screaming we went in without a spinner.

 

[DorothyG]

We are 8 wickets down, behind by 60 odd and it's not even the end of day one.

Yep, I'm going to advance down the the pitch to the in form bowler on his favourite deck.

Dont stop saving test cricket England

 

[FKASC]

Embarrassing batting

Patience.

That's the key word

 

[RookiePick]

Boland averaging 8 with the ball. Disappointing tbh.

 

[Biggie]

This has been another amazing bowling performance

Nah, Brook the only bat who looked capable so far. Poms abandoning Bazball last game on a road and here on a spicy one is embarrassing, at least go down with the ship.

 

[RustyShacklefordFalcon]

How in the ever-loving **** to England always manage to be shitter than us? We put 151 on the board and next minute they're 9 down for 109. Astounding stuff, tale of the series really.

I've only managed to catch a few glimpses today, it's a spicy pitch I'm guessing?

 

[matthew_s]

Cam green on to bowl short at the tail. **** me. Seen this plan before.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Send out Boland!

 

[UseR2006]

20 wickets, and we go back out to bat again.
Geez.

Built for the quicks, plenty of movement too.
Combined with some shithouse batting from both sides.

 

[Dazzler9]

Geez.

Declare and have a crack at them tonight?
