Better today but it's the hope that kills you with this lot.

Yup and as @astonion2 mentioned above, we’re only one good ball or bad shot from total collapse!

 

[The Fear]

No. What I meant was that we rely on Root as Villa did on Grealish. I wasn't comparing talents etc.

Ah. I would give you a 5/10 for communication there then! Was wracking my brain how Grealish of England would be comparable lol

Very sorry oh might leader although I stopped reading at the mention of brains.

 

[Fulford]

Looks like the collapse has started.

234-5 now still 44 runs behind.

Just not predictable at all.

Well it was . I said it this morning.

 

[Pride of Lions]

I think we did well...... to take it to day 4......

 

[sirdennis]

Oh well.

It's the hope that kills you.

 

[Melon Donkey]

Pathetic, shambolic. The saddest indictment is that everyone knew they would take the field this morning and capitulate despite the supposed 3rd day ‘fight back’.

These lot get pretty well rewarded for playing at this level and their lack of skill, technique and discipline time and time again is farcical.

To quote Frank Bruno, “it’s not cricket Harry”.

 

[astonion2]

here you go, just one delivery ..........

 

[The French Connection]

here you go, just one delivery ..........

2nn Test not going well. Aus have passed 200 just 2 wickets down.

 

[sirdennis]

Our tactics are completely baffling.

I have'nt got BT so following on BBC. Day one and the games all but gone unless they find a miracle.

Well they talked for days about capitalising on the conditions when the lights come on , so when they did Root bowled himself and the told Stokes to bowl short with 6 men on the legside.

Makes no sense at all.

 

[Melon Donkey]

At least it will.be better when Broad and Sir Jimmy come back into the side.

Oh......

 

[astonion2]

And Aus declare on 473 - 8. Going to be a tricky few overs for the batsmen now.
