Brook now batting like a desperate tail ender

I’m so entertained.

Am that entertained there is steam coming out of my ears

Sort of reminiscent of Mark Hughes' last game, this.

Ridiculous attacking tactics falling short? How about more of the same?

No? Ok, how about all of it.... and then a bit more.

If England want to simply give Australia the Ashes why don’t they just say so and have done with it? If I were English and paid whatever you have to pay for a day’s cricket at Lords these days I would be raging …

I look forward to hearing Stokes and McCullum explaining this farce.

All you have to do as aussie captain is put most of your fielders on the boundary, restrict the run scoring and bowl short and the wickets will come to you. No need for slips, gullies, short legs etc. We on the other hand allow them to score runs with ease. The difference in field placings must be worth 50 to 100 runs advantage to them every innings

I love what England have done over the last year or so under stokes but this is embarrassing and disrespectful to the game. Brook can fuck off batting like a tail ender. Hopefully early signs are that stokes has his sensible head on

yeah yeah but your entertained

Always viewed Root as being the anchor, while the rest fuck about but nope, it's spread. It's why I wanted Foakes, as aside from his keeping, he can slow it down

Every time I commented on the First test we lost a wicket :-)

Lucky. How many more warnings do we need?
