Australia v England, 2nd Test, 4th December 0400

[Sea to Shining Sea]

If England lose this series 4 or 5 nil is that the end of McCullum ......Will Stokes need to adapt to a new coach approach or will he resign.

It's surely the end of Crawley , Pope going forward to the next Ashes at home.

Stokes will be gone. Ideologically inseparable. And I think it should apply to Key also if that is the eventual outcome.

Also loving the way that we’ve gone all in on PACE FOR AUSTRALIA, NEED PACE!

and they’ve got Neser lobbing it up with Carey up to the stumps

 

[Rokerparkpies]

Australia just work you out eventually

 

[JackL]

Crawley could have been out caught and bowled about 3 times in the first innings as well to go with the one he got in the first Test.

Sick to f***ing death of seeing him and Pope’s names in the XI.

Pair of village idiots

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

Australia just work you out eventually

I don’t think they’ll have needed a Casio scientific calculator to do that working out

 

[dangermows]

Stokesys moving house so got a lot on his mind

 

[Mr Redknapp]

You can see the pressure is off Rooty now.

Stokes has signed a contract to the next Ashes series (36 at the time I think) can see him staying on as Captain if his body holds up.
But he won't make the next series in OZ.

Good ball to Root that

 

[Black_Cats1879]

Embarrassing series of performances here like. Genuinely poor

 

[mackembhoy]

This pitch is definitely starting to misbehave

Getting two paced and cracks opening up. Good thing we're bowling last on this eh

 

[ZeeZee]

Crawley man

Stokes may step down as captain but surely he’ll still want to play for England.

 

[FatCat2402]

Crawley man

Are you watching the next test already?

We would still go with the short ball tactic

 

[Aidan11]

About an hour to go for us to try and take this into a 4th day, which in context will be a huge achievement for us.

 

[fireballs]

Nowt he could have done about that

Woeful from the commentator ffs man

Stick to cycling you absolute berk

Rob Hatch just sounds all wrong doesn't he. Seems he's the new "Fletch"

 

[mackembhoy]

Are we

Indeed

Albeit I think we're both making the same point

 

[Anthly]

We all knew that Crawley, Duckett and Pope weren’t good enough.
Time for Brook to show how good he really is.

 

[Rokerparkpies]

Still say we won't match 177
