Just watch one of their hapless middle order clowns make a big hundred 

[Bobby Hundreds]

That's an awful shot, doubt we'll see him next test.

[Guest MattP]

Biggest problem with these bowlers is the hope they give you before the next inevitable collapse.

This is a brilliant test for the neutral. Wouldn’t be surprised if we are chasing 230/50.

We'd be doing it on day 3 and 4 too. There's that hope again...

sounds about right, but would still be far too many!

If the first day and a half are anything to go by then yes... but as Bobby Hundreds says on a day 3/4 pitch you’d be happy with as a chase.

Need to remove Labuschagne quickly, he's done great so far replacing smith.

[Bobby Hundreds]

West Indies chased 322 here in 2017.

Very unlike England will chase day 230 in the last knock to win, they have only manage that around 13 times in the history of the game.

He'll never get a contract with the Devonshire Devils with that mindset.

Archer's last ball was gunned at 82.4 mph. We've broken him in two matches

I noticed that as well, we are going to "Steve Finn" him aren't we?

[deejdeej]

Oh ffs Joe!

[Finnegan]

That drop was abysmal. 

[EastAnglianFox]

The Australia of old would have declared by now just for a laugh and to rub it in

[m4DD0gg]

Root needs to go after this match. 

[Izzy]

Stokes' bollocks are bigger than the rest of the England teams combined

Not so sure after he got a bouncer in them in the previous test

I would argue that Curran (possibly) and Crane (certainly) aren’t good enough for test cricket though 

I would argue Curran is test ready and has shown his ability to win matches by himself like Stokes, he did this last summer against India. The left arm seamer option would offer variety the current bowling attack, personally i would like to see him rotated with Woakes as a way of bringing him in. Also he scored 50 against the aussies in the a warm up game against their attack. 

 

i agree Crane is still a season or two away IMO

[Corky]

Good job we didn't put this on terrestrial TV.
