I must say. I do love a run out. ESP when Warne is commentating and the camera goes on smiling smith and lubashane (sp) and then they feck up. Very little joy to take from this so I’m going to enjoy this one.2

It says something that when we finally get a wicket, it's a run-out when Root is bowling0

Aussies deciding that they are going to have to help us get them out.
Liked the way Harris decides that he isnt the one going to be run out.....virtually sprints to get past Warner to get himself in.0 -

Still, always good to see the eminently punchable Warner get himself out.2 -
Neser to challenge Richards' Misbah's McCullum's record tomorrow0

To me Buttler looks shot . Keeping is untidy , dropped catches and batting hesitant. Wonder what’s happening there ?1

Drop him for Foakes is the logical answer.billysboots said:To me Buttler looks shot . Keeping is untidy , dropped catches and batting hesitant. Wonder what’s happening there ?
Knowing our selection policy it will probably be Bairstow.0 -

Buttler was doubtful to tour originally wasn’t he?0

Could be - forgot he had a new baby. Today could have been setup for a Buttler counter attack a quick 60 or 70 to give the Aussies something to think aboutkentaddick said:

What is worse?
they enforced the follow on and we lost by innings and 30 runs or them batting on and us losing by 420 runs ?0 -
On a green track in Brisbane, we leave out Broad and Anderson and play a spinner
On a bouncing track with turn and bounce in Adelaide, we leave out our pace bowler and spinner0 -
diplomacy/face saving might well indicate that he'll come down with covid and miss the rest of the tour. With a bit of luck the same virus (terrible form and performances) might also do for PopeMrOneLung said:Buttler was doubtful to tour originally wasn’t he?0 -
I am not disappointed with Buttler so much as the people who keep selecting him to play. He has been a fantastic player for England in the shorter form of the game, but has never been more than rank average in the test side at best.
Surly this should tell them that his considerable talents are not best used in this format and he should be left to concentrate on one day and t20, where he is in my view one of the greatest players we have ever had in this country. The games might be roughly the same but how you play them to get success is completely different. It is understandable that he was given a run in the test team after the last ashes tour when England also got hammered, but to carry on when there is potentially a more suitable replacement is ridiculous.1 -
Some grim numbers, both with the bat and ball

Malan did quite well on the last Ashes tour too, then lost his place afterwards0 -
Meanwhile today, in another part of Adelaide, a certain batsman was trying to reply to all the Aussie abuse he was receiving and restore a bit of English pride in the best way possible:

He only hit two fours and no other maximums and says that the boundaries weren't just massive but that, after the home side had only achieved 134 last week, they didn't cut the outfield to make his team's task somewhat harder. Which explains why he hit no less than nine 3s!0 -

Get him to take his kit, providing he knows how to not hit a ball that is not hitting the stumpsAddick Addict said:

He's been working with Carl Hooper at the club he plays for and at the DLCA, until he went for his stint commentating on the Big Bash, with Greg Blewett. They aren't the worst mentors so far as that is concerned!Gary Poole said:
