Must give up the gloves now surely?!

Give up cricket more like.

Bairstow has been player of the Series for Australia

Should be dropped for next match. Can’t score runs or take routine catches.

It’s fucking shit to get beaten by the Aussies. It’s even worse hearing aussie commentators gloating about it. Can you imagine English commentators gloating in an Aussie commentary box if we are playing?

All the remaining batsmen need to fucking stow their egos and just stay in to support Brook

 

[Stelea]

That needs to be the last we see of Bairstow in an England team thanks. His selection from the off has destabilised the team and has made countless mistakes and not made the runs

Needs to go take up tiddlywinks

A day and a half to get 100 runs and they play like they have got 20 overs to do it.

I despair of this team. What they've done in the last x years doesn't concern me right now, it's what they do today that counts.

Hopefully. But they have persisted with Ali and he's proven useless barring one spell.

Hopefully Bairstows last game for England. Need a proper wicket keeper.

Was going to lump on Australia earlier after stokes was out 2/1 they were ..

Your earlier comment about someone needing to ton up holds very true now.

Foolishly, I didn’t expect England to fold so tamely.

That splits opinions,we’ve been great last three years allegedly,bunch of no hopers this lot

Ali with the gloves??

 

[waspish]

Up to Brooks to guide us to the win! Be a sickener series over if we lose this been really good watch!

3 down any England win for me then in the last 2 is meaningless!

But still believe we can do it Just..

We know England now they will stick with him like they’ve stuck with Crawley..

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

On and off, England have played stupidly throughout this series. They will now probably lose this, from having put themselves in a position where it was eminently winnable, and I think they will then go down to a 5-0 whitewash.
Disgraceful.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Are we just shit at batting or has the ball change made a major contribution too? Seem to remember the same happening in their favour in one of the tests in 2019?

 

[trueblue1972]

I wasn't jumping on the Bairstow gloves bandwagon as I could understand to a point why they played him due to his batting, but thats also gone to pot now so I'm jumping on the bandwagon

 

[elbearos]

Some dreadful bowling, and we can't bat, all wide from Starc
