if it were not for the fact that this was more like a 3 days test in batting terms I'd be saying we have lost the ashes already here.

2 days should be more than enough for either side to win this game still.

day 3 is a wash out.
 
it's very tight now.

I think the lead is getting to the point being too much.

191 lead.

really really need to skittle this lot.

there's simply too many England players who close their eyes and hack at it at this level against aussie bowling to chase 250
 
On TMS earlier they were saying that perhaps people had misjudged how bad Bairstow leg still is .

he’s taken about 7 out of 20 opportunities , Carey has taken about 17 out of 20 .

even more reason to drop him , it won’t get any better during an ashes series !

england will most likely get skittled chasing.

perversely Crawley is key.

duckett will get out swinging.
Brook is coming in too soon and is out of his depth
bairstow has no touch.

root and stokes are the other 2 to look to here.


imo the lead is now already too big. 215. it's drifted through easy runs with lads on boundaries but massive gaps still.

bairstow keeping is getting slaughtered on sky. position to left handers is getting chatted about

I don't think its the leg.

he could carry off a just oil fool lol.

it's just creaky and rusty and he is not a keeper really. not really.

his positioning has been crap and against spin test 1 he couldn't even get close and thats just reactions
