What is this year doing to me

 

[cronullasharks]

Thought stokes was gonna drag you home there. Incredible innings

 

[ToffeeTim]

Disappointing really

Got to a position where it was definitely doable but then lost 2 quickly.

Incredible by Stokes but just too many needed.

Boooo Aussies

 

[Mozza1987]

Honestly laugh how they don't see it as the spirit of the game. Strauss sounds like a bad toff and tory.

Leaves a bad taste. Thought we were having a cricket series. Maybe the Aussies didn't get the memo ... or can't read it.

All he had to do was stay in his crease till Carey throws the ball to a fielder

This. The previous ball Cary noticed that Bairstow wandered away from his crease without checking to see what happened to the ball. So the next ball, instead of throwing the ball to another fielder he threw it at the wicket just as Bairstow wandered off. Clever cricket from Cary, stupid by Bairstow.

Strauss is extremely unlikeable. Could imagine he would love to go for a pint with Boris Johnson.

 

[ToffeeTim]

For all Robinsons talk he was extremely poor this game and should be dropped for Wood

Great game. Think if Bairstow doesn’t throw his wicket away, England win.
Stokes is awesome.
Aussies are machine like.

Clever cricket???

Nope

Getting batsmen out is good cricket. Not trying to run them out at the end if an over.

If someone did that in a club game you'd be embarrassed for them

As much as I admire Cummins as a cricketer, he's the captain and should have quite obviously not appealed. Everyone in Lords knew they weren't attempting a run

I think him and Anderson would be on very shaky ground

Sounds like what he is then

Actually thought the lyons debacle was worse from a captaincy point if view. Was like world war 1 leadership
