Outside of Marsh and Stokes who were the two destructive batsmen, the Aussie top scores were 39, 22 and 21 while the English top scores were 33, 24 and 21.
Very evenly balanced match.1 -

Billings makes Bairstow look like Adam Gilchrist. He has batted 25 times this season and has a top score of 36 and has been dropped from the Kent CC side.Todds_right_hook said:Bairstow up the order is not the solution when he can't bat down the order. His keeping is average at best. Time to recall a wicket keeper who might not score as many as bairstow but wouldn't drop catches which will let the Aussies get away from us........time for billings
seriously, foakes has to come in for the next test
It should be Foakes but, as I've said before, coaches have this habit of giving as many chances as they can to players who they want to prove themselves right and as few as possible to those that might prove them wrong. England confirmed last summer that the next two on the rank are Jamie Smith and that other Ollie Robinson. Smith has Foakes in front of him at Surrey but has scored 484 runs at an average of 44.00 at a SR of 61.03 whereas Robinson has scored 734 runs (and 3rd top run scorer in Division 2) at an average of 66.72 and an incredible SR of 87.17I was supposed to put a laughing face emoji at the end of the billings comment. If I did, I would have saved you 19 mins proving why billings isn't the answer.

One would hope that Robinson can bowl. If he can't, do we give the new ball to Woakes or go for the jugular with Wood?0

If Stokes walked to the crease at 350-3, he'd probably nick off 3rd ball. He needs crisis situations to become superman!3

Especially given the stat about 4th wickets at Headingley - think it's 2015 since a Test team didn't get a win batting 4th?Rothko said:take that, 26 is pretty much evens0 -
Give Woods the new ball surely?0

Our bowlers had 52 overs to recover...0

Another test where we think what could have been…
That is the annoying thing in these 3 tests. We have made mistakes that have badly cost us.0 -
I never thought that you were advocating Billings. But there might be some on here that think you are! It was more the point that if Foakes, for whatever reason, isn't "flavour of the month" there are one or two out there that might be. Given the county that Robinson is now out I'm sure Stokes is more than aware of what those at close hand think of his performances this season.Todds_right_hook said:Addick Addict said:

Bairstow and Ali .. what t f were they thinking .. still, Stokes and Robinson got us close .. let's see how Wood goes in the 2nd .. he really should take the first over0

Wouldn't it be lovely if we could bowl them out for under a 100...0

another unbelievable knock from stokes on one leg. He's properly hobbling around now.1

Broad gets Warner0

Warner must have his missus check under the beds and in the cupboards at night to make sure Stuart Broad isn't there

I'd settle for under 300.Rudders22 said:Wouldn't it be lovely if we could bowl them out for under a 100...0 - Sponsored links:

Yes Broad haha Warner!!1

Fuck me Broad taking Warner's wicket is like Millwall beating Charlton. Always guaranteed. (and I think I saw that Warner is retiring soon).

He might not even see out the last two Tests of this series at this rate.Rudders22 said:Fuck me Broad taking Warner's wicket is like Millwall beating Charlton. Always guaranteed. (and I think I saw that Warner is retiring soon).0 -
That's why I did wonder if the Aussies might not push Head up to open in order to bring Green back for the next TestRudders22 said:Fuck me Broad taking Warner's wicket is like Millwall beating Charlton. Always guaranteed. (and I think I saw that Warner is retiring soon).0 -

Horrible little shit0 -
Broad gets Warner for the 17th time and is now equal third all time for a bowler getting the same batsman out.
3rd: Ambrose / Atherton, Walsh / Atherton, Broad / Warner (17 times)
2nd: Bedser / Morris (18 times)
1st: McGrath / Atherton (19 times)0 -
Ather's loved a repeat dismissal

That looked out? no appeal?0
