Well the defeat is on as predicted but if one of our top batsman(Cook) gets out to balls like that of lion there is no hope.
Minor triumph if we make it to Day 5.
Worth an open top bus tour I'd have thought.
Hopefully this will be the last we see of Cook on tour after this series,been a good un,but time to go now
Even if you lose this one which is not nailed on by any stretch yet I wouldn't give up on you still coming back to at least level the series.
Our batting line up is very brittle and if Lyons can't get any assistance on the other harder pitches to come you might score enough to put us under a lot of pressure.
As mentioned by a number already two pretty ordinary lineups.
Who would have thought two years ago that Lyons a then second string spinner could decide the outcome of an ashes series (LOL).
And replace him with who? He's out of form t the minute but he's by far the best that we have.
Been poor for a long time, needs flirting !!Hopefully this will be the last we see of Cook on tour after this series,been a good un,but time to go now
He will get this series and next summer test series they won’t drop him this series and who else would play there Hales?
That is why I said his last tour,it is surely time for new beginnings
