Too right were not going to win or draw from here so buttler and root should go for it.id rather us lose going down fighting and show some balls instead of losing like a bunch of frightened rabbits.come joe and jos have some fun.
Get them back in the nets first thing tomorrow. We were always going to lose from our first innings display, but in this manner is just totally unacceptable.
Finn and Plunkett in for the next test along with Bairstow, Morgan and Hales .. fast bowling to put the s***s up the Aussies as mush as Johnson and co are putting the s***s up our batsmen:
Team for the 3rd: Cook Lyth (last chance saloon Lyth) Hales Root Stokes Morgan Bairstow Ali Broad Plunkett Finn .. Anderson is looking totally over the hill, Buttler has failed and needs a 'reassessment'. Bell is finished, Ballance is not good enough and Wood after a good start has not delivered at Lords ... give Plunkett and Finn a bash before it's all too late .. BUT really, I just KNOW that Bell and Anderson will be there for the rest of the series ..
Winning the toss and batting first put the Aussies in total control. Tired minds and bodies have made facing Johnson et al a much more devastating experience.

I'm a Middlesex man but Morgan isn't anywhere near good enough for Test cricket v Australia. He has the same problems as Lyth outside off-stump as County bowlers have found out to their pleasure recently.

many are stating this .. but who else is there .. we can't keep on with this pathetic batting line up .. if nothing else, Morgan will bring grit, doggedness and aggression .. all three attributes that our current so called 'top order' lack .. Morgan can do no worse and deserves a crack
remember Trescothick ? .. never a test batsman .. David Steele .. never a test batsman , Gooch making a pair in his first test .. he'll never be a test batsman .. give Morgan a chance .. Bell; Balance ? .. never no more test batsmen .. for the record CE who would you select ?

Not sure who I'd pick but I know that Morgan is very close to being dropped by Middlesex because he keeps getting caught at slip for 0. He's in no form at all and is even struggling in 20/20. Bairstow is probably the next in line to come in.

Look again .. I have picked Bairstow as well .. there are just so few English players who are any good .. I am guessing but are there as many South Africans, Kiwis and Aussies playing 1st class cricket as Englishmen .. like football and what is happening in Rugby, our national teams are being reduced to selecting second class players ..

Stokes run out. Well in his ground, but didn't bother to ground his bat.
Worse than schoolboy error.
A complete and predictable shambles.
A dead wicket, where we looked clueless how to get The Aussies out & none of our lot can make 20.
Cook 11
Ballance 14
Bell 11
Stokes 0
Wankers.
