Broad's having a right old go at Cummins about the Bairstow dismissal.

 

And so he should

 

Magnificent stuff.

 

100 Stokes

 

All on Stokes, may as well go down swinging!

 

T20 cricket from Stokes. Even his mishits getting runs.

 

This is so much like Headingley 2019.

Oh, for the same result.

 

Give him enough rope then maybe ...?

 

Bairstow is an idiot IMO and should be blamed for throwing his wicket away rather than crying about gamesmanship. If we wouldn’t have done the same we’re the mugs.

 

Thick as mince from Bairstow.
Phenomenal from Stokes. How he changes gears in the blink of an eye is quite unbelievable and pure sporting genius.
It's probably too late for this game and this series, but at least the perceived injustice of the Bairstow dismissal has injected the passion that should of been there from minute one. We've been far to friendly and soft.
Broad giving it to them is exactly the way to take the Aussies on. Hopefully we'll now see it till the end of the series.

 

On the money as usual, Col.

 

The pictures of the Aussies being held back from having a go at the members in the Long Room were amazing.
This is Ashes cricket.
Never seen or heard Lords like this in a Test.

 

Never seen Lord's like this for a Test match. The members in the Long Room were giving it to the Aussies!

 

Not too kamikaze please Ben.
Build it again.

 

What you said. I was typing my post as you posted.

 

England at 4.3 sounds like a reasonable bet. Gives me an interest anyway.

 

Smith drops Stokes!!

Calm it Ben. Robinson can bat.

Surely Stokes can be a bit more circumspect. He surely can't survive if he keeps going?
That's better.
