Looking very likely. It´s a pity that we were sloppy in the first two tests and unlucky with the weather at Manchester overall England have played some great cricket and ought to have won the series but have to accept that this Aussie team knows how to grind out a win.
Of course I am biased and don´t let facts get in the way but surely you can agree that this has happened too often and really stupid tactics don´t help?
110 for the last 3 wickets is poor bowling or superb batting.
I would suggest the former but am sure you would say it´s the latter.
We often struggle to get tailenders out so often.
Our tailenders rarely score at that level. Actually some of our middle order don´t either.
We really need to step up in the 2nd innings and try to set a target that they cannot reach.
Bairstow fails again.. Surely Foakes is the one for India and let Bairstow focus on limited overs. When we are in need of a dig in innings he doesn't step up.
