FFS, have we got 80 runs in us? I doubt it.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Bairstow and Root have spectacularly flopped at their home ground.

Australia favourites now.

This will be a travesty if the Ashes are over today.

 

[ShaunMCFC]

Bairstow hahaha

 

[Cricket Blue]

Ffs. We’re going to lose this.

we shouldn't be though. It's like all rationale and basics has just gone out of the window. Wtf was that from Bairstow?

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

Don’t understand the rush to get to 250 playing shots like that when you’ve just come in against their gun bowler. Fuck me, just see him off he can’t bowl all day

 

[heslops barnet]

Useless Bairstow.

Bit of a daft ****…..

 

[Blue Llama]

This is what happens when you insist on playing your mates despite their form.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Bairstow just needs to rotate the strike & let Brook play (he looks in good fettle) oh dear

Isn’t it shit when you’re just typing something!

 

[DWIFF]

Doom and gloom merchant….

FFS.
Ashes gone now.

 

[i kne albert davy]

What a poor shot that was :-(

 

[Ajm1985]

Bairstow didn't move on from Lords, can't keep wicket and can't bat when he keeps wicket.

 

[homerdog]

Root, Stokes and now Bairstow all giving their wickets away to average deliveries. Rubbish!

 

[The blue phantom]

We've gone from 1/8 to Evens in no time.

 

[stan bowles]

Another dreadful shot...ffs....it wouldn't have hit another set of stumps it was so wide. Bairstow unable to leave it alone - surely he realised he was the last recognised bastman ?

 

[jimharri]

So; six down*, and 80 runs still needed. How's the nerves?

*Granted, one of the five isn't a specialist batsman, though Ali does know one end of a bat from the other. He's not a total mug, though he's not a number 3 either.

Must give up the gloves now surely?!

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Bairstow has been player of the Series for Australia

 

[PaulPowerScreamer]

That’s because players used to actually leave balls alone. Atherton used to leave more than he hit.

Boycott wouldn't even consider hitting a ball that wasn't hitting the stumps until he'd been in for about 3 hours

I was nervous before the innings started, lol

Wtf was that from Woakes? Cant believe my eyes.
