England doing their best to throw this test away 13:03 - Sep 11 with 1213 viewsChrisd

England once again with their kamikaze batting approach look like they are handing this final test to the Saffers on a plate. They could’ve batted them right out of the game, but no let’s throw our wickets away like we are playing a T20 fixture. Find this approach so infuriating.

It’s great to watch when it works but Stokes dismissal yesterday was a shambolic demonstration of captaincy. He could’ve played a more controlled innings got 50 or so and heaped pressure on SA but no, he threw his wicket away and maybe our chances of winning the match with it.

As for Crawley, please will the selectors drop him and put him out of his misery.

Completely agree. Stokes batted magnificently at Old Trafford, where he was far more measured and made better shot selections. Yesterday was an utter nonsense. Even though we've lost two days of this test match there was still plenty of time left, but we've completely handed back the advantage to SA. This batting tactic of ours will get brutally exposed by the Aussie bowling attack. The last Ashes series was a no contest, can see it happening again unless we learn to adapt.

It's OK to play cricket because....

...It's just not football.

Don't believe a word I say. I'm only kidding. Or am I?

Looks like the approach is going to win us the match inside 2 days, though!

Must admit. I was not expecting to win 6 out of 7 tests this summer.

Crawley, no doubt, about to book his place on the winter tours with an imperious red inker.

True, but it doesn’t mean I like it. I think SA minds are already on the flight home.

Yes, strange one. Incredible England will end up winning 6 of the 7 home tests this summer from the starting point they were at - an amazing turn around. The Pakistan tour will be an interesting watch especially with their pitches.

The Nighthawk was padded up to go in next, we've been robbed of him smashing the winning runs.

If Jansen had held onto that catch first ball, the outcome could’ve been very different - as they say catches win matches.

As for Crawley, one good innings doesn’t make a summer. I’d rather see someone else given a chance for the winter tour

He'll be on that plane to Pakistan with that innings.
