Buttler has lost the series for England.
Yep, took a good catch, and then all he could think about for the rest of the day was where he was going to hang the photo. I wonder whether he'll have room for the photos of his dropped catches:)

Has there been 2 more home country champs and away duds then Warner and Anderson

Probably a little bit unfair on Anderson. Like most players he has a better record at home (402 wickets at 24.2) compared to away (208 at 32.1) but 32 isn't dud like.

Warner at 64 at home and 33 away is probably a fair call though. Has a far far better record in Australia.
 
Marnus caught off a no-ball. Poms can't take a trick.
First over of Robinson's spell, barely rolls his arm over at 117 kph, and bowls a no-ball......... disgraceful.
Marnus.............Luckychagne needn't buy a lotto ticket, he's used up all his luck. Needs to go on and get 200 now.

True , wasn’t long ago he’s average away from home was around 40 , he must have had some good tours
 
And technically a dropped catch by Robinson at square leg. That means since he came back into the side, Marnus has been dismissed caught 12 times, dropped 13 times, and caught off a no-ball.

Watsonesque review there. That was plumb, what was he thinking. Pretty selfish, really. Should have used your bat, mate.

Why aren't England bowling short again today.

At one stage yesterday from 43 overs, only 12 balls were going to hit the stumps:unsure:

I thought it might have been too high on the first replay but turns out it was as plum as it gets.
 
*smile*, England takes the *smile* with bowlers going off after a spell. Bairstow will spend the majority of the innings on the field.

I hate the way England play cricket. Cynical, negative, time-wasting, taking liberties with regulations, and yesterday they brought Bodyline back.

Agree. Boring as hell.
 
Australia isn’t helping either. Slow as all hell. England really aren’t bowling anything exceptional, it’s a pretty true pitch, but we’re as slow as a wet week. Boring.
Sometimes wonder if we're on 2nd gear just to give them a chance to lift. But they're too dumb to realise.

England have got a very good line and length bowling lineup in this test, hard to understand their short bowling strategy yesterday. Especially in the twilight with the 2nd new ball, we can see today that it seaming a bit, they didn't give it a chance last night...............Ludicrous
