I was going to say something along the lines of, since the Wimbledon crowd are treating Andy Murray matches like a farewell tour, the crowds are far less obnoxious than they used to be ...and then the crowd started to be as obnoxious as usual against Tsitsipas
Just when you think it’s going one way, the game is back in the balance. Hopefully, we don’t have to rely on Stokes hitting sixes when it’s 9 down.
Self-destruction alert! Once again, a very talented group of players show the immaturity / naivety that will stop them being a great team
Brook, Woakes & Wood got them over the line. Good win in the end and hopefully they can meld that brilliant aggressive cricket into a more complete package.
Hopefully Brook, for example, realises that you can’t smack every ball you face against the best bowlers in the world. The ball he got out to was there to be hit, but the execution was bad. That is excusable. But trying to improvise against good balls bowled at 85mph + is crazy. He reined it in a bit today, thereby showing that he was more than a match for the Aussie bowlers. That aggression needs to be allied to some smart thinking - which is what Stokes did with his 80 and his 155 last week
Bairstow should be rested for the rest of the series, his form with the gloves is poor and that shows with the bat or vice versa foakes form with the bat is not bad and a better keeper than JB , I am a fan of JB but he needs improvement atm
