Great attempt but fell short by 44 runs Stokes fantastic 150 a little wag by the fast bowlers but a good days enjoyment.

Stokes great effort but his last few overs had stopped thinking, turned down quite a few runs to try and keep strike when the old ball wasn't doing much so not a massive risk to let Broad face a few.
Just chipping the odd runs off would have increased the pressure on them and maybe brought some fielders off the boundary

Quoted from Knut Anders Fosters Voles
Stupid from Bairstow and symptomatic of a dozy series so far.

But it’s really not in the spirit of the game and Australia should really have withdrawn the appeal - shouldn’t they?!


People will point to the rules and say it’s smart work from Carey and I suppose it’s whatever you are personally comfortable with.
For me Bairstow is gaining no material advantage from his actions and I would have withdrawn the appeal.
I do hope this lights a fire under our lads and it puts an end to this pally approach we’ve had thus far.

I actually think that Bairstow dismissal will be the making of our Ashes'.  

We were staring down the barrel until that moment, but what it did was light the fire in Stokes' eyes.  Something we've lacked so far.  He's our leader, be it with the captaincy and just by his nature.  He leads, people will follow.  

It drunk him off. It wound him up and he responded.  Broad responded, he was straight into them telling them how it was a male private move.  3rd Test can't come soon enough and thankfully only a few days to wait.  There's been a lot of criticism about using Baz Ball in in The Ashes but I reckon we'll really see it at full throttle at Headingley.

I thought he’d improve as the series went on but I was very wrong. That is an absolute dolly!! Not to mention the earlier tougher chance. Poor! urine Poor!

Excuse the pun but the incompetence is catching. Root shelled another absolute dolly! 13 drops to this point in the series is ridiculous.

Absolutely loving this spell from Wood but slightly trepidatious about what Starc may achieve on this track too.
