Entertaining knock by Stokes, but confused why he was playing in T20 mode. We're not batting for a declaration1

Ben foakes with a great opportunity here. Tired bowlers and part timers new ball losing its shine and 400 on the board.1

Stupid stupid Stokes ….. gave his wicket away when we are still long way behind in the match he has to think of the team now not just himself

We've been rattling along at 4 an over & although I love to see attacking batting we are still 150 runs behind.
No need to try to hit every ball for 6.0 -
Yeah but imagine if he would’ve rocketed to 100, with us 50 runs behind at end of play, we’d all be calling him a genius with the game very much on.2

This is the only time this test team is crying out for Buttler. Imagine him coming in on this deck against a knackered bowling attack. We’d be at 600-6 before lunch tomorrow. Well, that or 463-7 tonight.1

Fair play to England. Fully expected a typical England batting collapse today. Nice to see a bit of resilience2

Could Root be the greatest sportsman we've ever produced?
Gotta be up there.0 -
Root is definitely in my all time England 11, just counting players I've seen (live or on TV)

He's the greatest English batsman I've ever seen.
Possibly the greatest English batsman of all time by the time he retires0 -

The tricky thing is whether to go for consistency over a long career, or to go for players who had a really high peak, but didn't last as long e.g. Harmison. Also Vaughan was a brilliant captain, but scored a lot more runs without the job, so tempted to give it to Gooch who improved his batting as a captain!
Knott gets the gloves as I need a Kent player in the side! Underwood would come in for one of the seamers on a turning pitch.

if he was in this era, mark alleyne would have 100% been our white ball captain.0 -

Callumcafc said:Any chance of a groundsman in this country finding a good balance between bat and ball?
Feels like after all the criticism of the bowler friendly pitches following the Ashes, some have gone too far the other way and prepared roads.
Thought there might be some balance coming back after the low scoring affair at Lords but after watching some of this Test, it seems like we’re at one extreme or the other.
dont think there is much to really criticise this pitch for tbh.1 -

I'd like to see those 3 teams (at their peak) play each other! That 3rd 11 has a ridiculously short tail.

I reckon if you asked 100 people to name their top 5, he would be unlikely to feature at all.0 -
