Arthur Crabtree wrote:Stokes obviously can bat. He just doesn't score many runs. Two years between Test tons doesn't warrant moving up to four. If it wasn't for the bowling and fielding he'd be hovering over the trap door.
If he could get the game head right, he could be a Test class bat.
But he's had plenty of time to get there.
He was getting there before he hit that guy
Took him some time after to get his batting back

Some of the bowling since archer went off has been pretty woeful

Wonder how many teams in the last world cup chased the target England set in that many overs.
England are going to be short with the tail in....and Australia over a 100 away. Needed to declare 10 overs earlier

Sounds like there's variable bounce.
About five overs to go.

Maybe Denly getting a bowl is a sign England are playing out time.

The more I watch of Root, the worse he looks as a captain

I suppose Root wanted to be extra safe that England didn't lose the match and pretty much be out of the series. Could still have declared a few overs earlier though as Australia would never attempt that chase without Smith.

Why do they not start 30 mins early to make up overs in rain effected matches anymore?
