He edged to the slips for 12 in the first innings. If England hold their catches they lead by 100 runs.
And if we held ours?

How long are we going to continue with the 'if x happened' in cricket.

Didn't mind Murphy having a go, but we let him take the initiative way too easily. The bowling to Wood was beyond dumb.
 
Well we are 2-0 up with a strong chance to win this test....
You don't need to keep looking for idiotic coping mechanisms mate. Cummins is a trash captain, and we're winning despite his tactical ineptitude.

He isn't the reason England keep dropping catches and playing terrible cricket shots.
 
Over to the batsmen. Marnus really needs to contribute, while Stokes was a gun in 2019 here we actually lost the game with lazy batting in the third innings thinking over 300 was enough.

Stokes has never been consistent so to see him do it a third time in a row I'd happily say fair play to him. Batting should be easier then innings one so we should be able to get a 350+ lead. Need to be batting this time tomorrow.
 
We're 2-0 up despite his tactics, not because of them. Why is his only strategy to bowl short and have all fielders on the boundary to every lower order batsman? Why doesn't he have faith in the bowlers to get the batsmen out bowled, lbw or caught behind the wicket? Let England right off the hook today. Absolute garbage.

Well no, they cleaned up the tail in the first innings at lords, and we did ok at edgbaston.

He also took 6 for. Stokes in that mood can do almost anything.

However I think we need to treat bowling more like t20 in that situation, and try to bowl 6 different balls an over. Cummins did eventually do that, Murphy was pretty good with that too.

Friday night certainly does seem to bring out some knee-jerk reactionaries who’ve had a beer or three too many

I get the tactics have been frustrating but sheesh we’re watching a great game of cricket here. Give me this ahead of those one sided home series against South Africa or the West Indies any day
Far two many Cadbury drinkers mate and two pot screamers.
