As I said earlier, at least one of Root/Brook/Stokes/Bairstow would fail today. That's two of them now.

She only appears when the Aussies are on top, she’ll fuck off when we smatter another 30-40 runs

She borderline ruined the women's game last night as well. So irritating.

Big chance for someone else to be the hero for a change…..who steps up?

It’s the wicket most batters tend to forget, like there’s no jeopardy in attempting the shot, funny thing is when teams put a leg slip in it never happens because they put the shot away

It used to be really rare for a top order batsmen to be caught down the leg side - seems to happen regularly these days. It always looks such a poor way to get out - rank bad balls not needing to be played getting important scalps.

Concentration as been abysmal from the England batters this series.

It's both teams batters to be fair.

So many more seem to get out with nicks or gloved down the leg side than used to happen. Stokes and Root this innings alone.

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

Time for Bairstow to show that it's not a big mistake to keep picking him as a keeper batter as so far he has done neither well.

There seems to be a trend of trying to hit every ball.

I was a shit batsmen, and it's what I did, and that's why I was shit.

That’s that then

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

Especially when facing Allan Donald.

Thought so

Mark Wood, hit the winning 6 straight into Mel Jones’s gob

Not even making Australia work for the wickets. Christ

 

[Norbert D]

Clown. one job, stay in whilst Brook is at the other end.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Useless Bairstow.

 

[cleavers]

Idiotic again.

Jesus christ. Brook the last hope.
