It's quite unbelievable how unfit our players seem to be.
So many injuries.
Stokes limping around the crease.

Okay. Good to read. And I hope we stay that way. We've got enough on our plates as QPR supporters.
Cricket's not my game, but I enjoy good tight matches. Obviously without as much outside distractions.
Sure it's always preferable to get a win, but I was somewhat hoping England could get a win to liven up the final two matches.
Here's a post that I made prior to the series.

I'm just trying to stir up our pommie colleagues. Make the forthcoming Ashes a bit more interesting. And have fun at the same time.
I'm sure they're taking it the same way.
We're all QPR mad and whilst there's no football, you've gotta do something to make the interval a bit less bland.

I hope this explains why I make the comments I make.

I get that.
I think a little self awareness may be in order at times though.
Continually winding up very pissed off people isn't always a good idea or indeed, a good look.

Okay Col. I get your point also. I'll tone it down.
Hope the cricket stays tight though. That's the only thing that keeps me up 'til sunrise watching a sport that I have little care for besides interacting with you guys.

Ok. Have a go Steels. We both know you want to. :emoticon-0183-swear<wizard>
 
Take out Stoke's and Marsh's scores and the sides are just about level.....

26 runs deficit is so much better than it could have been.....

Just need to bowl out them for no more than a 250 lead and then who knows.... Game has moved on so fast that weather may not be a factor afterall....

Closer than it was at Lord's and Edgbaston, but I reckon it'll come down to who can catch better.
Both teams dropping too many, especially off the major run getters.

Yep. Not much in it on the scoreboard, but imo the Aussies are a far, far better outfit.
A fully fit squad may have made a difference for England but they'd still need to hold their catches and throw away less wickets.
 
Why is Root bowling 1st over after tea ? Crazy. We need to strike and strike fast before the lead becomes unattainable.
