Siraj deserves that this morning I'd say. 

 

Attacking field against an attacking England. Bound to pay off. 

Poor shot selection from Stokes as well. 

 

This partnership is critical now.

Brook is quality but I’ve never a player dropped as much as him. Should’ve been out twice in this innings at least. 

He had more than his fair share of bad luck in the last Ashes series, if I recall. it's good to have him have a bit better luck here.

Might make him think again in the winter when it really matters

Nah, it really matters here, too. People overvaluing the Ashes is why England sometimes lose other series they should win.

 

As for Brook himself, his numbers speak for themselves so far, so I'm inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt.

As frustrating as those wickets are, there were times before Bazball that we struggled to get past 250. At least we've managed to get in the same ball park as the India score and there's a chance. 

 

Makes you wonder why teams don't set then up earlier.

England won one Test in 17 before it was implemented.

 

I think this bears repeating quite often tbh.

I love Bazball as a mentality. As in, always be positive and look to win every game. Always look to progress the game etc.

 

But there are a few aspects of it that really rub me up the wrong way. Watching Smith and Brook get out while trying to hit big shots while there are men on the boundary is pointless. Especially when the new ball is coming. 

 

It feels like it's all or nothing with this team whereas I think that if they played the occasion on time to time they could go on to do great things.

If we could catch it shouldn't be a lead of

only 6.

 

Brook went for big shot on 99. Bad choice! 

The way this is written makes it look like a Trump tweet. :D
