Ben Stokes has really turned it around post the WC. Good to see him embrace his potential. Best all allrounder at the moment in Tests.
 
Root makes those 50s so effortlessly that you don't even notice it. Arguably even better than Smith and Kohli. Wonder what gets in his head to miss out on those daddy hundreds though. A golden opportunity wasted.
 
As I said its the faint smell of hope that does you in in the end.......England getting what they deserve. We rode our luck too much at the wrong times. If you get 67 on a wicket thats good for batting under bright skies....what do you then expect. Call me cynical but perhaps a chastening defeat is the best thing rather than a dramatic victory to paper over the cracks...again.[DOUBLEPOST=1566742898][/DOUBLEPOST]Does anybody remember tea first day of the series...Aussies 122 for 8....??????

We cant rely on Broad and co not only to get the runs and the wickets ...it aint fair....again Root fails to convert.......what a poor shot.
 
We are grasping at straws: just heard someone say how good is was that we at least got the Aussies to bowl more than 100 overs....feck me....what kind of victory is that? Does my head in, it really does. Nothing will change unless thins change at a higher level....the players are left out to dry as well by the money grabbing of administrators who want it all.......
 
Ben Stokes to outdo his World Cup heroics.
The lad is fantastic he really is but it shouldn't be left down to him playing a role like this...what ever happened to calmly getting the total with six wickets to spare...anyway I need to STFU and let him do his thing.....

Pretty unfortunate for the team to end up in a situation like this. Now it's up to Ben Stokes to save them, and he can very much do it.

Let us not jinx him, tho.
