Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
The team has been confirmed. Brook to 3, Bairstow to 5, with Ali, Woakes, Wood, Robinson, Broad. Brook at 3 seems a step too far for me. It’s a position where I really think you need some orthodoxy. He’s talented but has been shown up a little so far in this series against very good bowling. I’m not...

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
Do any of us see Brook as a 3!?

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
Confirmed Pope out for the series. Do we bring Foakes in and nudge everyone up one?

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
I don’t think Anderson will play next. Even if he’d been flying he’d have probably been considered for a rest to then be fit for the last 2. His form makes that decision easier IMO. I don’t really buy the ‘pitches not suiting him’ argument either. The last few years he’s been able to take wickets ch...

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
I can forgive Crawley and Pope more than Duckett and Root. Pope got in a good position, tried the positive option, mistimed It slightly, it cost him. Duckett and Root would have seen that, then seen Root glove behind pulling a no ball. That should have been the point where they re evaluate the risk ...

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
Given the conversation on the football signings thread, I think this is quite apt. According to CricViz's expected runs and wickets model, England should be 153-6. :-) I’ve just seen that and it surprised me. It doesn’t feel like that having watched a lot of the afternoon. It confirms we’ve batted ...

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
Now Root. Completely thrown it away. 2-0 Australia. And we can’t blame anyone but ourselves. Awful bowling yesterday. Ridiculous batting when completely in charge today. We’re still in a good position to get parity, which isn’t a bad effort. We’ll then be chasing in the fourth innings and they won’...

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
Yep. 2 quick wickets here and we’re only one away from Broad coming in. Positive start from Brook, but agree this is a period to let them tire themselves.

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
The old adage of not judging a good score until both sides have batted is ringing true here. Hopefully we can build on this. Great start.

If no rain, can we offer some more tickets to the Oil people?

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
WTF are they doing starting on a Wednesday?!?!?!? - sigh, better late than never...Who dropped what? Pope dropped Warner at slip. Thanks. They dropped a few first test, too, but that's no reason for us to make it all uphill by doing more of the same... And yeah Jimbo, excellent win for Lancy. I thi...

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
I think ‘it’s not happening for England at all on this series’ is a bit of an overstretch. While not perfect at Edgbaston we were close to winning the game. We’ve had an underwhelming 90mins here.

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
Australia have batted well. We’ve not caught very well. They’ll be delighted to the through the first hour and now look in a good position for a commanding first innings score.
Elsewhere across London, brilliant win for Lancs having almost ballsed it up on day 2.

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
Realistically there’ll need to be 80 overs for it to be a result. We’ve maybe got 30 left tonight, which means 50 squeezed between the showers tomorrow. Hopefully they manage it.

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
Hugely valuable from Robinson this. Another 20 and we’ll be close to par I reckon.

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
Yeah that spell yesterday afternoon was a killer. Far more significant than the declaration.
