Thank you for the thoughts on Ian Bell. Interesting and fair.

Brainless from Stokes that

It’s grim down south for England

 

[Boo]

Poor shot from Stokes.

Ian Bell delivered, if you look at his career overall.

There were a few dips, like all batsmen playing over 100 Tests, but he certainly didn’t ‘flatter to deceive’

Really came into his own in the Ashes series 2013, carried the batting line up

 

[Jack Torrance]

Shocking shot just before lunch

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Good effort, tough catch

 

[Boo]

And more variable bounce. Dear, oh dear.

Impatient shot by Stokes.
.
Much better

 

[Boo]

We'll do well to get to 200.
... and then bowling for two days under blue skies.

Lucky Stokes not a shot to play after trap had been set

Poor session for England but a fascinating one all the same. Feels like it’s really back now

 

[scotch]

230 and this is game on imo, but needs these two to bat well, bess to get runs, archer to show he can bat and a wood cameo
