I like your way of thinking regarding Foakes.Quote:

Brook will bat 3. Mo, Wood and Woakes in for Jimmy and Tongue.
Big, big call
I’d have kept Tongue and binned motormouth Robinson
Looking at the forecast, I like the look of the draw at 7/2
They had to bring Foakes in. He's the best keeper we have by a country mile and I reckon his batting is up there with most of our batsmen.
Jerusalem and GSTQ.
FFS! :angry:
The reason I posted the above was I was really looking to get behind England in this test.
Then in the space of 3 minutes my mood completely changed.
Edit: Eng win toss, Aus currently 6 for 1, Broad gets Warner.
Ridiculous- she died about 10 months ago.Quote:

Bairstow is shocking behind the stumps!
Should be five down at lunch.
Wood is like lightening :yikes:
Edit: he's just taken Smith caught behind
85-4
Joe Root puts a simple slip catch down now!
Woeful Fielding!
Too many dropped catches this series. Root should have taken that.
Just seen Bairstows 2 drops as well. One difficult one easy. Awful decision to put him behind the stumps.
Root out of jail, took catch next ball...just!Quote:

Wood on fire 🔥
8 down now, Cummins LBW for a duck!
If only Root hadn't dropped that catch. The Aussies would be in huge trouble.Quote:

Aussies throwing the bat at it now, and why not.
Even if they are bowled out, the current conditions are favouring the bowlers.
Hope Wood gets his five.
Looks like the natural successor to Anderson.
10mph quicker than anyone else, that’s decent & gets results :hehe:
Quite a collapse. England have to take advantage of they're going to get back into the series
Brilliant from Wood. Hes 33 and unable to play regularly due to injuries. Hes no successor to Anderson though. Totally different option as player.Quote:

Australia tail couldn’t cope with his searing pace. - if only ….Quote:

England need someone to get a big score.
It would be somewhat ironic if Australia had a first innings lead through someone adopting the Bazball strategy while England are being more defensive!Quote:

England's problem (apart from their awful fielding) is that they don't have a top spinner like Lyon who can hold his end up and give these guys a breather.
They get over-bowled and end up on the treatment table.
Anderson mind is a freak.
England's problem this summer (apart from the injury to Leach), is they've been so sloppy. They've done enough to win games and they keep shooting themselves in the foot.Quote:

Bairstow has had a nightmare series - gone for 12Quote:

I think so , been skittish all series , perhaps his injury effects his mobility behind the stumpsQuote:
