Not sure what Root is trying to do there.

Malan goes, feel it could be collapse time, 157-4

Just when your starting to get your hopes up, two quick wickets and the bowler friendly last session to follow soon.

 

[Bold Seagull]

We just don’t seem to be able to be positive and also leave the ball. Both Root and Malan could easily have left their wicket balls.

 

[Bold Seagull]

3 wickets for 24 runs, great stuff England.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

200 all out if we are lucky.

Loose by an innings and plenty.

This is the worst batting line up I have ever seen.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

So easy for the Aussies

Please tell me it's the Aussies on fire and not us just being toothless and shite.

A bit of the first and a lot of the second

The catching stats for the series so far are the biggest difference…….we’ve dropped loads, the Aussies have dropped virtually nothing.

It’s all a bit embarrassing.

I think we should just Jack it in and call them home. We’ve enough bad news this year.

I’ve heard that it’s because we didn’t get a chance to play enough warm up games. That’s balderdash. They’ve been playing cricket for years. They should know which way up a bat should be.

They hate losing but mostly they hate losing to the Poms, I was lucky enough to watch the 2010-11 MCG game live, the Aussie papers ripped them apart after the first day...

Anyway Malan and Root appear to have lost the plot here, both have fifties. 139-2

Thanks, guys, have we got anything in the locker to come back in the other tests assuming that that walk this test as it appears?

So assuming all our last batsmen hit PBs run what's the best we can expect?

If Stokes and Woakes do PBs we’ll be about 30 runs ahead.

202 for 7, Woakes bowled by Lyon. A mere 271 behind.

 

[golddene]

Stokes gone 220 for 9 will we follow on ?

 

[banjo]

If we could get the FIA officials to takeover now, we could still win this.

The simple fact is England just aren’t very good at test cricket, and haven’t been for years. Root, Anderson, Broad and the occasional Stokes miracle have papered over a lot of cracks. There’s some nascent talent in there (Robinson, Hameed) and Wood and Woakes are OK in the right conditions. But there’s a lot of dross. Plus the coach is shite.
