yes, i sense that jimmy might have been eased into retirement slightly sooner had those bowlers been available more often

What’s Bairstow bringing to the side at this point? There’s not a fucking chance he’ll be dropped if fit either

Hasn’t got the balls to hang around against the short stuff on this wicket. Neither would I have so I’m not about to call him a coward but it’s not exactly news re: Moeen as he’s always had a weakness there. Also this fast bouncy wicket is what they’ve supposedly been wanting all summer. We get it and - what do you know? Aussie type wickets suit the Aussie quicks. And there’s another one on the stroke of lunch. You can talk about missed opportunities- especially with catches but it’s not like that’s not a skill in itself and not an integral part of the game.

The approach seems forcefully blasé in a game that requires the opposite. Like they're protestors or something. Bairstow should have let that kid get on with doing a better job.

 

Then we kill them both.

I'm as entertained as Elisabeth Fritzl. When Stokes hits a couple of sixes after lunch I'll part my captivated fanny for the next unscheduled bit of corey and be happy.

Yeah, I was being sarcastic. It’s going to take a very good innings from Stokes to get near their score you’d think. This is shades of four years ago without the happy ending

Ah I got it and aye I see that too. The mindset is fine but combine it with a level of professionalism ffs. I think the last year led them to a bubble where they thought they could change the world.

It worked last summer and suddenly we think it's the future. I said before this series started that if we dare to dabble with 'Bazball' Australia will teach us a lesson and it seems to be being proven right. 

The disappointing thing is that without the short moments of madness we stood a chance of taking this series too them.
