3rd test - Headingley

[Hyltons finest]

It’s all gone to shit since that declaration in the first test

Haven’t seemed like the England of last year since that innings

Another boundary for the winviz stats

Bairstow doesn't look fit keeping wicket to me.

I said when we played Yorkshire in May that he looked like he was wearing three sweaters .

 

[Darlo1973]

Foakes has to come in for Bairstow.

He won't. But Jonny has been utterly horrendous

Foakes, Woakes and Stokes. Just missing John Noakes.

Taylor is not a good commentator, hes a great commentator

I'd have had the Aussies at 2/5 minimum

They are 13/8 now if you want a bit of it.

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

Have faith though lads and lasses. It was about this time Cummins came in the first test

 

[Scotty 1978]

Here man just hit the kernt straight at them it saves these stupid shots

I probably would if I was still a gambling man mate

I am not sure, it seems the whole approach is based on a laissez-faire just play your game mentality. Lets relax and let our game do the talking, no need for hard practice/prep etc. Is mental discipline, focus, hard training and proper preparation compatible with this approach. Time will tell, but against the best in the world this approach has been found wanting so far. As @Mr Redknapp said above, we cannot go backwards though as our old approach was really shit!! Interesting dilemma for McCullum and Stokes.

No reason you can play with freedom, but train hard as well.
The idea is to not bat with fear or fear of repercussions.

We almost won though so it was a good decision...

All on Stokes' head. Vitriol should be heading his way not Bairstow

I read that in Buzzcocks' voice

 

[sonson]

What's interesting is that its been England's attack who have put us in potential winning positions. Which given the pressure the batting has put on them is extraordinary really.

The Bash Boys not chased a target or set a good one

He's been the definition of composure, couple of ours could do with some of that right now.

 

[zebediah]

lulz

Almost isn’t good enough though
