That's not what stopped us scoring 500 runs and putting them under pressure and virtually making a defeat impossible. If you win the toss and choose to bat you need to post a decent total, especially against a fairly weak bowling attack.

The stats tell a story Every Australian got to double figures after playing themselves in. We lost 5 wickets for 4 runs. There's no argument.

If we'd of batted correctly we would have had a better first innings score. You simply cant defend losing 5 of your wickets for 4 runs against a pretty poor bowling attack (apart from Stark) Look how every Australian batsman contributed, even the tail so far. Then when you dont bowl well or...

2 were caught for nought nibbling at balls they shouldn't of been. And 2 were bowled for nought off balls that a village cricketer would of straight batted. Even Crawley who got to 76 threw his wicket away gifting a simple catch. Brookes dismissal was very poor, and Stokes ran himself out...

Exactly! We arnt even putting their batsmen under pressure, they can just sit tight and score off the bad balls (which have been numerous) Whatever the outcome of this match, England need to go back to basics.

For those people defending Bazball, its noticeable how every Australian batsman has played themselves in and got to double figures! In comparison, England lost 5 wickets for 4 runs!! Bazball should be used only when your settled at the crease and the ball has gone soft IMHO.

Jesus wept, that's gone straight through the slips! That's 5 catches not taken today! Well at least we know where we need to improve. Batting, Bowling and Catching!!!

Another simple catch dropped! Ffs this is getting embarrassing

Look at the air time Jimmy Saville was given, even when plenty of people at the stations new what he was up to. People in glass houses .....

Not if they sign Thomas 🤔🤑 Tbh, I cant see anyone wanting to miss out on operation premiership now.

Take care mate, mind the gap!

5 batsmen failed to make 5 runs between them. That suggests a fundamental failing in attitude, ability or application. Root was the only batsman that played the conditions, showing patience when necessary. Its not as if they are up against a world class attack, Australia only have 1 front...

If your a neutral, that's been a great days cricket, Root starring with the bat and Stark with the ball, the game swinging in Australia's favour early on but England fighting back at the death. Its set up perfectly for day 2!

61 run partnership (so far) for the last wicket has given England a respectable score. Great performance from Root and Archer. And a big shout out to Crawley who finally contributed with the bat. Pressure will be on the English bowlers tomorrow, and I doubt the Australian batsman will be...

You have to play the circumstances. If you play like this at the top order your in trouble. When the last man is at the wicket its ok to have a smash as there's nothing to lose

Archer scores more than 5 batsmen with 1 shot 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Another wicket needlessly given away nibbling at a ball coming across the new batsman. Even in village cricket you play yourself in and get used to the conditions. This is embarrassing, winning the toss and all out on the first day. You can stick your fucking Baz ball up your arse!

Well done Root, great century after coming in at 5-2, the difference in quality between him and the other batsmen is just huge.

Piss poor discipline by the bats men will cost us, (and Root)

Bloody shit batting. He had a rediculous waft at the ball before and then did it again!!! Its purely suicide batting.
