    You can imagine Archer watching this wondering 'why do I bother...'

    Stokes gone chasing a wide one. Why do none of these batsman have the discipline or patience to build a bloody innings?!

    A master class in how you bowl at Headingley. Don't give any width, due to the short square boundaries. That session has just cost us the Ashes. 2nd innings, they will have the best batting conditions of this test match. Anything but a healthy lead would not have been enough.

    Good bowling yes, but crap batting. Reckon only Root got out due to the bowling, the rest just got out playing bad shots.

    Bloody 'Ell. The Ozzies are doing what I did many a time staggering back from The Original Oak in Headingley to my place @ 14 Broomfield Crescent LS6.
    They are pissing all over the pitch, including us :cry:

    I’m revising my prediction. We’re going to struggle to get 75 runs this innings. What an embarrassment.

    pathetic effort. this is a side-effect of t20 and lack of county cricket. they can't build an innings. boycott, even at his current age, would easily have top-scored today.

    I think you're correct .
    It's a lack of patience and like you say T20 s desire to play at every ball .
    It won't get any better with the new 100 ball format !

    Reckon it must be tough for the bowlers to get fired up again after that batting display?

    I'm sure it is but you also need good batsmen!

    Bit of self indulgence here...apologies.

    Can't believe that the street number I painted on the wall outside 14 Broomfield Crescent in Headingley in 1967 is still there. To be honest, I'm surprised the property hasn't been condemned ! We used to call it "Typhoid Towers" in honour of John Cleese - even before he came out with Fawlty Towers :emoticon-0105-wink:
    You can spot the Rhinos Rugby Ground & maybe a snippet of the cricket ground behind said midden.
    Oh what a life. Have we declared yet ?
