If I were Stokes and saw how Atkinson had just given away his wicket after trying to salvage something of the game I would be livid. I know you can't rely on your bowlers but Atkinson can actually bat a bit. But no, gave it away like all the rest, learns nothing. Not saying we would have saved the game but it is lazy cricket. No pride, no grit, just brain dead. |

"I don't have to fight every day for my position because I earn it. I earned my position."
There is the problem.
You're only as good as your last game. No one is entitled to a free pass. He earns in a week what any average person earns in a decade. Yes he is human and has emotions like any one else but please, he's done this before when a new contract was due. Say thank you very much, cut him loose and make some money back. No player is bigger than a club despite any achievements. |

England in sensible batting shock.
If only the rest of them had played a bit more like this, maybe we would be in a better position.
At lest we're going to make them bat again. |

This is like any other Ashes series abroad over the last few years. Waking up to disappointment EVERY morning.
This has got 5-0 written all over it. Imagine we didn't have Joe Root. This game would have already been done. |

Not just saying it after the fact and yes I probably should have put a bet on.
But I literally predicted the teams for England's group every round of that draw. It wasn't too hard because of all these ridiculous contrived rules about who can't play who etc. |

I think it's also pretty arrogant and stupid that we've now got a really long break before the pink ball game. They've been offered a pink ball match with similar conditions as preparation and they've said no. Really? So just nets then for 11 days? |

Bringing in Head has been the game changer. They're beating us at our own game now.
So disappointed after all the hype.
Just brain dead batting again, the bowlers can't keep going with that intensity, especially if they are barely getting a break in-between innings. Stokes can't work miracles each time we need digging out of a hole.
I fear for this series now, with Cummins to come back and possibly Hazlewood. It feels a bit ominous.
11 day break until the pink ball test. None of the batters have much experience with that. Starc will be licking his lips. |

I've now had two people recommend The Beast In Me on Netflix, apparently very very good. So will start that some point soon, has any one seen it?
For something a bit more light hearted and those into nature I enjoyed watching Hamza's Wild Isles on iPlayer. He is such a likeable person and his passion and genuine delight for getting to see some of Britain's more hidden wildlife is really heart warming. Sometimes nature programmes can be a bit same old but this was really enjoyable. |

I don't usually pay attention to this xG rubbish.
But there's is 1.02. Ours is 1.5.
Yet they are winning 4-1?
Does this just highlight that we gift goals to our opposition? |

Fantastic series and advert for test cricket.
But the selectors lost that last match for us.
India should have got nowhere near 400 runs in their second innings. But selecting Bethall who's barely played 1st class cricket and who contributed nothing and selecting Overton (who again contributed, nothing) was ridiculous. The run chase was always going to be almost impossible and I am very surprised we got anywhere near it.
Fair play to India who bowled really well there. Siraj is surely man of the series?
Looking to the ashes we can't take Pope. The Aussies will roast him alive, he just doesn't have the temperament. He looks nervous every time he bats and rarely comes up with a notable contribution. Crawley just rides the coat tails of Duckett. Again, he rarely contributes a noteworthy total. Another the Aussies will pick off easily. So it always comes down to Root to hold us together and we can't rely on that, especially down there. |

Good start so far...
India just need to hold it together for the first 20 overs or so.
I don't have much confidence in this bowling attack but Atkinson has been bang on it so far. Woakes has looked good but then these are the perfect conditions for some one like him.
Jimmy Anderson would have been in his element here! |

If it came as an option to buy it without a gambling sponsor all over the front I would buy it. Haven't bought a shirt for many years usually due to this fact.
Why couldn't they have made the third kit as an option to have a charity rather than a sponsor. Like Grenfell Foundation, would have been perfect with the green as well. |

I second this.
Been ordering regularly from them for years and they do a lot of money off offers and the like. I think they give you points towards a discount on your birthday!
But the marketing aside the actual coffee and variety is excellent. I drink a lot of Decaf too and a couple of their blends are lovely.
I use a cafetiere but thinking of getting an aero press... Is it worth it? Apparently it makes a superior cuppa. |

and THAT is why football is an absolute joke these days.
How in the world is that a handball. He had no idea about it.
Total shambles ruling out a perfectly good goal. Pathetic. |

And in League 1, 'joint top scorer' Richard Kone is short listed for player of the season...
Errrr, no he's joint 2nd top scorer. And let's forget the striker who's performing well in an otherwise fairly average team for the league. |

I can't believe that between Bristol City and Preston, we are the clubs with the current longest spell in the Championship (almost 10 years). How we have managed not to get relegated in that time with the losing record we have is a miracle! |
