[Rokerparkpies]

Morning all..got up for work..turned telly on..quick glance at score..went to work.

 

[Aidan11]

Century for Carey that he never should have had.

 

[Bears Beets]

I’ve given up, 94/4 to this

 

[scotch]

We had them 94/4 at one stage.

We've let them right off the hook.

They gifted us that as well.
Why is Jacks coming back on, 38 minutes left in the day, Get Archer on

 

[Rokerparkpies]

I’ve given up, 94/4 to this

We simply can't take advantage of moments in games.

 

[Mackem2017]

Yay more Will Jacks, was just thinking that’s exactly what we need.

 

[Aidan11]

100 up for Jacks

 

[Bears Beets]

We simply can't take advantage of moments in games.

The Aussies would’ve had us out for less than 200/250.

 

[Inside Forward]

Fuck sake man.

 

[Bears Beets]

100 up for Jacks

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

We simply can't take advantage of moments in games.

Was just about to say this. This is one of those big moments and we’re just letting it get away from us again.

The thing is it’s not a one off, we seem to shit ourselves everytime we get a team on the ropes

You do have to give some credit to the opposition, not everything is down to England just being shite.

Carey has played an excellent innings but Jacks bowling has allowed an easy relief of pressure.

 

[Aidan11]

Root should have had a couple of overs.

 

[scotch]

Amazed Roots not bowled a ball today given how Jacks has gone

 

[The Shepherd]

Starc and Carey...the 2 outstanding players of this Series at the crease together again.

 

[Bears Beets]

Carey has played an excellent innings but Jacks bowling has allowed an easy relief of pressure.

I will give credit when it’s due but the likes of the Aussies and India go in for the kill when they have teams on the ropes, we just seem to be passive and bowl bouncers and let them get back in the game.

 

[scotch]

Stokes has had a shocker as captain today.

Archer looks like he's been bowling on a different pitch to the others(for Englands sake they better hope he has otherwise were in big teouble)

Tongue has been fine (unlucky in his 1st spell)

Stokes has been steady and bowled well to labs and Uzzie.

Carse has been poor again.

Jacks has bowled 15 overs too many and been trash

 

[Inside Forward]

Massive opportunity with no Smith and we’ve been absolutely pathetic again. If it wasn’t for 4 or 5 gifts we’d be out of it already.

Archer aside this attack is pathetic.

Great job Key.

I will give credit when it’s due but the likes of the Aussies and India go in for the kill when they have teams on the ropes, we just seem to be passive and bowl bouncers and let them get back in the game.

If we’re being honest though, this pitch was always more than a 300 pitch.
