We've lost the plot.Surely Cummins remembers what Wood did in the first innings, stop bowling short !!!!!!!
Mine too. Ridiculous by Starc. Nearly cost a wicket. You could see Cummins call 'mine.'My heart was in my mouth with Cummins and Starc both trying to catch it.
Far too late. Gifted Wood the ball he loves to hit for 6 ... which he did!Quit the persistent short stuff. Full & at the stumps please.
True, but just hope we don't choke. Not sure about Boland.....hmmWell played England, 1-2 makes for a better end to the series.
The way England play you would have to think a result will occur in the next two matches barring bad weather.
This clearly works in England’s favour.
Can the run is down.
I think they can. Unlikely, but for mine we have been brittle throughout this series so far. They put us under pressure and we don’t like it.
Yeah weather permitting there will definitely be a result in the last 2 tests, winning a toss would be nice.The way England play you would have to think a result will occur in the next two matches barring bad weather.

To be fair, scored at greater than 5 an over in that 2nd innings? Not aggressive enough for you?Funny again. They lost 2 with Bazball, and now they'll win 1 without it.
Agree and I also think the short leg was a waste of time. Useful when a spinner is on in threatening conditions and field up, but in this situation needed to be a few metres further out in order to actually pick up the ball flight and grab a catch. with the fast bowlers pounding it in.*smile* me…..all these balls popped up into the air off the shoulder of the bat, or off a leading edge. All landing safe.
Every single time during the Australian innings, caught.
With Test match batting not T20 batting. Much better to watch.To be fair, scored at greater than 5 an over in that 2nd innings? Not aggressive enough for you?
I really like Scottie but I think he's a bit like the Dow brothers in footy - too good for just state level, but not quite good enough for Test level. Steady and reliable but not quite quick enough and lacks a real weapon at the highest level.True, but just hope we don't choke. Not sure about Boland.....hmm
Who's gonna keep if Bairstow's out?I think both sides have been a bit brittle at times, but overall Aussies are probably the better team.
I think the England setup was much better for this test (albeit we don't know what to do with 3 without Pope).
Robinson and Bairstow out for Foakes and Anderson. Game on at Old Trafford.
