Phew Roy survives the hat trick ball

 

[dazzer6666]

how many more overs left for today

Enough for us to lose by the look of things

Well done Root yet again.

You have to laugh. I said 3-0, 4-0 or 5-0 to Australia depending on weather. With the exception of one freak innings from Stokes, that’s exactly the scoreline that would accurately reflect the series.

Apart from the rain that cost us winning.

Your Root pitch fork is out again.

Predictable.

Well done Root yet again.

For the dismissal or the decision not to send out nightwatchmen? I just can’t believe they didn’t send a night watchman in they did against Ireland late on in the warm up test but not in this match? It’s disgraceful, if the option was given to the batsman and they didn’t take it that’s equally as ridiculous.

Can’t lay much blame on him for getting out to that delivery, was one of the best deliveries I’ve seen

Root needs to resign after this series.

Isn’t there still a potential 50 minutes of play? That’s a long time to send a night watchman.

Even if they lasted 5 overs, at least they’d have been the ones getting their stumps flattened not our most important batsman, it’s a terrible decision not to send one out IMO.

Roots captaincy today has been poor.

Agree but his overall performance in this series is way down where he should be and clearly effects him . Not sure we have to many captains In The squad as most of them wants binning but looks like we got to go back to the drawing board

It was the rain that created circumstances in which we were the team that could win.

Australia have annihilated us in every single department this summer. Archer and Stokes are the only two players of ours they would want.

It's simply not fair, they are better than us at batting, and bowling.... we are doomed.
