Fair play to Archer. He’s been absolute shit with the bat for England, nice to see he’s applying himself a bit

 

[GingerNick]

Same old same old , they have been an absolute embarrassment and have utterly betrayed the fans who have paid a lot of money to follow this series

Only because Stokes is batting with him.

Decided to stay in bed today.

Looks like i made the right decision.

Another weak performance with the bat.

English cricket is a long way behind other countries. It's sacred in places like Aus, India, SA. A source of national pride, for and open to all. Until those that run it in this country see it that way instead of just being a cash cow, it will only get worse.

I came here for the 94/95 Ashes and I've seen one decent series in 30years. When Alistair Cook schooled them. Other than that it's pretty much been utter shite.

in truth this is the best side we have and its just that they, by comparison to OZ, are rubbish

Well done Stokes and Archer. That's how you do it

 

[Aidan11]

The ECB can't blame the County Championship for this.

Our players out there have hardly played in it.

 

[zebediah]

I would have been chuffed with 213 for 5 or even 6.
Make them sweat tomorrow, but we'll be out within 3 overs and they'll bat all day.

You know fine well they'll blame "too much cricket" and point it at the county schedule.

I wouldn't. But better than 8 I suppose.

Pope and Smith aside, the batters actually tried to put a price on their wickets. Lot of good bowling from the Aussies, best attack they've had all series.

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

Lyon "it's all about doing the basics for a long period of time". I wish we would take note of that, we just aren't capable and don't have the mentality for it.

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Only because Stokes is batting with him.

If that was true then explain the others being shit

 

[Mackem2017]

Great coverage on TnT right now

 

[zebediah]

I wouldn't. But better than 8 I suppose.

Explains why you're never happy then

At least the coaching and modus operandi of the set up simply has to change now. Every cloud and all that

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

Trescothick rolled out again

The only difference that will make is that people can stop whining about "bazball" when we lose.
