Fearing England could be skittled out for less than 100 this morning, Root gone after 2 balls, sigh! |  | | |  |

Surprised Smith didn't review there. |
Heh!
A lot is going to depend on early wickets tomorrow, England bowled well in keeping them from scoring freely (unlike yesterday) but they can make it a big total. Get past them and it might be a very interesting chase. |  |

It's outrageously poor batting, led, it would seem, by McCullum, who has apparently told the batsmen to go out there and follow their hearts.
We're going to lose the Ashes by the 9th day of the series (probably) against, by the standard of Aussie teams of times past, an average Oz team. They're not bad, by any means, but they're certainly not of the same calibre as the Steve Waugh/ Ponting teams.
If I was Wood or Broad, I'd be absolutely screwing over how little care the batsmen have played with, after, frankly, an excellent bowling performance yesterday - if Root could catch, and if Bairstow was a wicketkeeper, we'd have had them out for 120.
The first innings batting at Lords was brainless, but forgiveable, if the coach and team could demonstrate that they had learnt from the experience.
Bairstow, Moeen and Woakes today appear to have learnt nothing. Not every single ball needs to be pulled for 4, Bazball or not.
Every series Glenn McGrath predicts 5-0 to Oz; he's gonna get it right this time.
Dreadful cricket. |
Great shout, thanks from England cricket-lovers everywhere 😂 |  |
