Australia bowling about four overs an hour with all these fucking meetings they're having. Poor sport again. Get on with it.

Yipchaa!
As I've said previously, I really only catch bits of cricket during the Ashes and World Cup. However, even within that, I think one of the things I would be most confident about getting right is that this is absolutely what's going on.
Everything I know of Broad says it is

Looking like a good call so far

My estimation of Broad rises even higher; that comment to Carey is bang-on.
Nailed the sneaky little cunt.

Remarkable stuff, for sure...but relying so heavily on such an exceptional performance from one man does not, IMO, justify Baz-ball as a strategy (whatever the outcome of this absorbing test).
Sure, not a comment on the approach (although I’m not against it myself). Just a comment of the qualities of the player. He’s magnificent.

He actually plays his best cricket when he's not playing Bazball. Just building a normal innings. Ironically.

I don’t want to see Ollie Robinson play again.

Fair play, you've really provided the insight on this thread.

But Cook's kinda handy, right?

I've only just twigged the stumping thing was the last ball of the over. The keeper wasn't so much anticipating Bairstow would go for a wander between balls as that he'd think the over was done. It wasn't really anticipating him being out of his ground, at all, purely playing on how batters normally behave at the end of an over. Within the rules, maybe. Gamesmanship/bad form, 100%

If Pope’s injured, it’s an opportunity to get Foakes back in. Bairstow has contributed to both of England’s losses. He needs to get back to just batting.
Anderson needs to sort himself out for Old Trafford.
The only time I want to see a 70 odd mph ball is when Root does a comedy bouncer. Robinson is out for the rest of the series…and for the rest of the WhyLikeThis administration. Get in shape for the Ashes or smoke fag, drink shit lager and eat kebabs? Not a tricky one.
1. Crawley
2. Duckett
3. Brook
4. Root
5. Bairstow
6. Stokes
7. Foakes
8. Moeen
9. Wood
10. Broad
11. Tongue
