Struggling to chase down 90 odd runs with 6 wickets remaining and then remembering we have to win two more tests after this....

How many more times are they going to just give their wickets away. Why not leave a few balls and play yourself in. FFS. It's as if they don't give a shit. We will lose this game now. Bloody ridiculous batting. There is a time and a place for swinging at everything. This wasn't it.

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?

May well be onto something there as neither team has batted well

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

Is not a band waggon, just look at his stats. Dropped catches and missed chances and fkin brainless with the bat.

Big ask now for Brook to guide them home from here. Woakes is a decent batter but needs to just stay in rather than slashing at every ball

No chance of winning three on the bounce. Little chance of winning one.

Just shit batting. Shit shot selection. The bowlers couldn't have done anyone in setting this up for England to win, pathetic.

Starc is hanging it wide and Woakes is going for it. Can someone not tell them that it's day 4 and we are 6 down

Needs to be dropped. He's in the team based on his form over a year ago.

That's last part is what's caused me to change he used to add alot to the batting

Just rotate the strike...leave the wide ones and push for singles on the straight ones...Brook is not facing enough.

 

[PaulPowerScreamer]

Wtf is Woakes playing at? He needs to drop anchor and support Brook surely

 

[N1985]

Does Woakes have to be home for 3pm for his tea? What the fuck is he playing at?

Mel Jones. Apparently played in 5 tests. Didn't take any wickets and averaged 35 with the bat.

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

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

And I was pulled up on it by several posters. They've gone quiet now.

Seems he is going for the England Bazball method of trying to hit every ball 12 sixes and we about there

What sort of fucking shot was that? To drag it on like that is due to not playing through the line of the ball, basics
