And who’s to say he’s not just being used by players/agents to get a player friendly arguments out there. As you say, take everything with a pinch of salt and let’s just see how it all plays out

It was but if anyone thinks we beat this Australia team over the series playing traditional, safe test cricket they’re mad. Top three batsmen in the world, spinner with nearly 500 test wickets and probably an equal pace attack to ours. Stokes is trying to take them out of their comfort zone...

Yeah, he lacked rhythm. Think he was injured before test. Not ideal prep. Add Leach getting injured and Mo’s fucked finger and you can say we haven’t had too much luck to start series with.

They all come out the woodwork after a loss ! Look back at the last 18 months, how we turned round something like one win in 12 to 12 wins in 14. Players should be proud of how they played the game and we made that a great match/ending (would’ve been a bore draw if we’d played like the aussies)...

Desperately need a quick wicket after tea. Aussies picked up rate so not even sure we’ll have any time with new ball now. Guessing stokes isn’t fully fit as thought he’d have had an over or two before tea. Feels like it’s all down to some Broady magic now….

Exactly, people talking about the declaration on day one and bazball batting are missing the point…the only reason we have a chance of winning the game is because of the way we bat and the main reason we have a chance of losing is because of poor chance/wicket conversion.

Here we go !!! Broady you beauty

Just saying the same to mates. Very un Jimmy like ! Loads off hips and too short. Maybe one of reasons Bairstow didn’t react to nick was cos the previous 3-4 were going down leg (no excuse though)

Yeah, I was thinking that. All you need is a bit more rain to hang around and a massive chunk of tomorrow could be off. Knowing our luck it will be bright sun and plenty of play if Aussies are on top or pissing it down if we’ve got a them a few wickets down !

Im the same. Would’ve been nice to eke out 300 but Robinson did well there to get us close ish. Need early wickets tho ! It’s only the speed we’ve played at that’s made a result possible, could end up biting us on the arse but can’t really complain about the entertainment

FFS Mo

Fuck

You could see the thought process behind it though. If we lose it will be down to the numerous drops and no ball wicket rather than the early declaration. *I was saying to mates at the game that I’d have given Rooty one more slogging over myself but 🤷‍♂️

Also need a big one from Stokes. He’s played himself in today so fingers crossed

Every time we start getting on top we lose another ! Not good for the ticker !

Yeah, need us to bat until tea at least really. Not sure it’ll happen though

But so were all the ramps etc, it’s why we’ve got 130 after 26 overs. Under Silverwood we’d have been grinding it out, Aussies would have fielders all round the bat and we’d probably be 65 for 5. It’s frustrating but got to take the rough with the smooth ps that’s not to say we won’t have a...

That over might help He’s a very good player bound to be nervous though. Looked great first innings but was very unlucky, freak wicket. Cummins also looking good though. Could do with seeing him off

Bring on Big Mike !

I have no doubt his aim is to ultimately sell at a profit. I have no issue with that. The fact is the best way to do this is with success on the pitch so hopefully a win win all around
