Pretty poor all around but what an effort from Stokes. Great performance from Duckett as well.

 

[Postman Pep]

Same again only no Renan and no Potts.

Anyway Lancs have won and guaranteed a home 1/4 final now later this week

Pure shite, should have won the first test and gave the game away in this one with criminal batting.
The Aussies are not great at all, our gun bowlers are over the hill.

Or the batsman wasn't good enough to put a bat on the ball ( the ball was too good you can't qualify what actually happened to accrue the leg byes ,

We'll have to agree to disagree. I won't change your mind, and you won't change mine. So be it.

Root has the 6th most runs in 4th innings of all time with 2 centuries, 7 50s and an average of 42. Only current player in the top 25 as well. I didn't rate him as a captain but I think it's unfair to criticise his mental fortitude when the going gets tough.

Thos suggests they are better than not great at all

Declared too early in the first test and the first innings batting collapse in this one cost us the game.

We need to be more professional in the remaining matches.

 

[goalmole]

A minority of one.

Legal yes, sporting no.
The Australian way.

No such thing as sporting in professional sport as we see week in week out watching City.
The only thing that counts is winning while staying inside the rules.
We can whinge as much as we like but Bairstow only has himself to blame.

I think it is secure now, it looked as though Worcester may pip us on NRR when Lanky won and Derbs were 6 down and 68 behind.
