If we'd taken those bloody catches we'd be winning this !!

Atkinson - words fail me. A top edgey pull goes safe, the second goes straight to Smith.

Good way for Neser to end.

all that hard work undone by bazball everyone on leg side i know we'll find the gaps

stokes n jack far too late i know but still why chase ball once they'd gone

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Good to see a bit of fight and scrap from Jacks and Stokes. Hopefully we can take that application forward into the rest of the series. This match is gone but let's try and knock a few of them over at least try and get a bit of momentum going into the 3rd test.

Catches win matches, these cunts haven't dropped a thing and we've been giving them multiple lives.

I'd direct the blame to the top order tbh, they were never hanging around after the ridiculous Smith catch broke the partnership.

at least we know the umpiers like the scran
lets hope storm comes early

Australia may as well select Peter Siddle for the next test. I’m sure they’d still win comfortably.

Giving Wickets away
Table must be booked

Tee off times have been booked in advance. Like a jolly boys outing rather than a tough series.

Australia having medium pace bowlers is and smashing us

Don't worry lads it will all be fixed after Stokes takes the boys for an intensive 4 day golfing holiday.

They could dig up Bradman, and still win.

Congrats Australia, easy to beat this shithouse England side though

Their ladies could probably beat us.

This Aussie team isn’t even good. Both games have been very winnable, so disappointing but it’s hardly unexpected.

 

[M18CTID]

Almost pleasantly surprised to wake up and see the game was still going on. Stokes and Jacks showing that they can dig in when the need arises. Stokes has always had that in him but wasn’t sure about Jacks. Just a shame they couldn’t stick around a bit longer and add another 50 runs or so - it might’ve started to get interesting then with Australia having to chase a higher total under the lights.

But it’s not just been the batting that’s been the issue in this test. Dropped catches have cost so many runs.
