Fearless leader Stokes hasnt bowled an over this innings, and he is close to their best bowler

Is of the paddock and Brook is captain

Stokes can't bowl.
Archer only 10 overs of lollipops.

Turns out that partnership of theirs was 4D chess by Australia because it's broken their 2 best bowlers lol

England need to sack Bozz. And possibly Stokes as captain even.

It's getting into areas where they will start to actually waste or destroy talented players like Brook, who could have long and top shelf careers, over some egomaniac idea about SaViNg CrIcKeT

350 lead
3 overs left today

Id go 500+ lead before we declare if we are still batting

Belt them into the dirt, plenty of time to bowl them out

Its a great batting deck, dont want to give them any sniff or moral victory lol

We can set attacking fields longer without surrendering or being cowards 🙄

You would think so

3-0 will look pretty bad (if thats what happens here)

This was Englands best chance. Sure, Patty back, but this is the deck that suits them best and tbh we left a lot of runs out there first innings throwing poles away. Plus the late out with Smith and we have not been our best at all.

They haven't even looked close despite all that. ATM the only thing likely to stop 5-0 is rain.
