Agreed but a touch wider is his usual glide to third man. That was just cramping him to play the shot
he’s better than that and will be fuming until the second innings

He has scored hundreds and hundreds of runs from that shot and not a word said.
Yet gets out once to it and bed wetters out in force again to have a go.

Could be 5 or 6 down here if the Aussies had of been on their toes in the field.

Aussies haven’t had to be anywhere near their best in this series. Waft/Stab ball by England is all they need.

We are 18 months into England’s way of batting.
Why are people surprised at some of the dismissal?
It is the way we bat. In this case we are pushing on because of the weather forecast.
It is NOT surprising.
Sometimes (more often than not to be honest) we score shedloads.
Others we lose wickets.
I’ve gotten used to it. I might suggest that other’s do…..

Which by ordinary standards is average, but I agree he’s been disappointing.
