Maybe the team that bats the most deliveries should win this game? :p

Can you borrow Kohli put sunglasses on him so he is not recognized have him bat 3 in the next 2 tests and call him John to throw the Aussies off

Since Australia were 132/2 yesterday between the two sides they are 120/19!
Suggests neither can bat!

That 100 partnership is the difference, it was never a 100 partnership wicket yesterday.

That 100 partnership is the difference, it was never a 100 partnership wicket yesterday.

As Cork and Willis said on the debate, Woakes and Stokes were very disappointing after impressive opening spells from Broad and Archer.

A minor consolation, but Mark Wood’s lunchtime interview on 5 Live was fantastic. He spoke for about 30 mins almost non stop on the cricket World Cup and his emotions on the day of the final. Really interesting, made the hairs stand up.

Why the fuck have we a mid on and no 3rd man? About 40 runs went through 3rd man yesterday and anyone who’s driving broad and archer through mid on is a genius. He’s a shit captain is our joe

Yep, and coupled with the fact that it's not a 67 wicket pitch today either

A wicket has fallen every four and a half overs in this match

This stems from England’s obsession with playing one day players in test matches. Surely there must be better than this in the county game or are lads just not taking up cricket anymore due to the poor money at county level.

That has to be one of England worst ever batting displays, given the conditions.

That was down to the difference in captaincy, I’m afraid.
