The Ashes 2015

[George Hannah]

Big opportunity for our excellent late middle order - come on Stokes, Buttler and Ali - fill yer boots boys!

 

[George Hannah]

spoke too soon - Buttler blutered

 

[foetus]

Slightly too late...

Bit slack this morning, its doing a bit though, the cloud cover having effect and Starc bowling well.

Buttler continues to be an easy wicket. He's had a dreadful series and has been lucky that the team is winning and Lyth seems to be taking all the flak

Stokes strangled down the leg side - not going to plan.

Was just thinking that, with Bairstow back in and a better gloveman than Buttler, its something that needs looking at, Taylor getting a long overdue try maybe, I would start by putting Moeen ahead of him in the order though.

At least we won't be hanging around waiting for one of Cook's long overdue declarations
Just get to 300 ahead

Agreed, Moeen has been stuck with nothing but the tail every time because Buttler can't even stay in. It's not just that he's not getting any runs, it's that he's not playing his natural game and looks terrible

Buttler is becoming a worry batting wise he needs runs or his place will be under threat
