so what do we think about alistair cook, his dismissal in the first innings was so bad it was funny, but his dismissal in the second was equally bad, just the exact opposite - first up you leave one going onto the middle of middle stump, then you dangle the bat at one that starts off wide and is getting wider:rolleyes:
 

I've seen some odd ones with bats breaking but that is just extraordinary.[DOUBLEPOST=1388893012][/DOUBLEPOST]

stokes o'clock[DOUBLEPOST=1388896694][/DOUBLEPOST]ballance out a ball later, bairstow will get tucked up quickly and it will be the ben borthwick and scotty stokes show again soon.

so sick of hearing about 'thunderbolts'[DOUBLEPOST=1388896785][/DOUBLEPOST]hoo, nearly went first ball :lol::lol:[DOUBLEPOST=1388896930][/DOUBLEPOST]nearly goes second ball, gone third ball :lol:[DOUBLEPOST=1388897181][/DOUBLEPOST]beautiful 4 first ball, what a catch second ball... this has been the difference or one of them - australia have taken a whole raft of excellent catches, england have dropped the simplest of chances

What annoys me is how the players come out saying things like "We haven't been good enough, we don't seem to know how to handle the Aussie bowlers" after each test. Then they proceed to try the exact same strategies and fail in a very similar manner each time.

Just doesn't seem like they are actually trying to cope with it, just admitting they are shit and thinking thats enough.

What a f***ing tonking :evil: Broad looks like a deer in headlights here - Stokes is the only one showing any level of comfort and he's only got 7...[DOUBLEPOST=1388898638][/DOUBLEPOST]Edit - And suddenly Broad starts panning it around

really disappointed in that tbh. he's played a great innings, attacked but also left the balls that wanted leaving.. to suddenly charge down the wicket to the first ball from harris... ah well. cant be too harsh on him i guess. all over, im off to bed now then.[DOUBLEPOST=1388898898][/DOUBLEPOST]
