very good and getting countless single figures at 6??

Stokes has just wasted plenty of overs. Doesn't deserve to be batting so high.

Jammy against the Kiwis doesn't make you great over a couple of weeks.

This is normal service resumed. How can you have Moeen batting so low when Stokes and Buttler only hit it off now and again?

I stopped watching when Hales tamely got out to short midwicket.
Things never change with England selection.. They drop Willey for the likes of Woakes. purely through bianess. I hope Woakes get totally hammered over the next few games and England lose the series. Not saying Willey would win England games.
Just the facts he was already in the team to begin with and not done along wrong. and the facts woakes is a pie in the sky and pretty average.

a lot^

When Taylor was batting, I thought if he's out England will lose this game. England have a few too many players who like to start slow and catch up later. They don't even appear interested in scoring off the first few ball they receive. Morgan SR was 82.6, Stokes SR was 56.5 and Buttler's SR was 40. Rubbish. Even Mitch Mrash, who was struggling maintained a decent enough SR befor a few lusty blows at the end got it towards 120.

I don't think Hales will make it at international level and I don't think Roy will either. I may be wrong, but that's what i think.

England bowl first

plunkett is a back of a length bowler. yet Morgan openly admits to chosing him. fk knows what willey has done wrong.. anyway time will tell

warner off with suspect broken thumb..

So he won't bat again?

not with a broken thumb.. no chance..

the shortness of length by England bowlers is pathetic. should have done much better with the ball today.. you can guranteee the aussies will be fuller.
It use to be the other way around. England way to short in length.

Sill decision to give Ali another over when the slog is on.

he bowls to quickly anyway.. hes not a good enough spinner..
England need to find a quality spinner. with a bit of loop.

hales and stokes need some runs in this game.. lets see what happens.

What happened to Bairstow who won England the last game? Buttler is hopelessly out of form.

Ali bats at 7 when Stokes and Buttler can't even buy runs. When they do get a start, it's a slow start so not worth it anyway.

And then he gets himself out. plonker

Alli is a disaster. Our most expensive bowler and a useless batsman.

I don't think he's a complete disaster. He's batting too low down the order for starters. England are sticking with Stokes and Buttler because they come good every 6-8 games, but that isn't good enough.

I didn't use the word "complete ". You did. Freud called this 'projection'. You believe he is complete disaster and would like to say it loud, but an unconscious conflict does not let you express so. So you say I did. Glad I am giving you some relief from your internal conflicts.

WTF dude. You look for something that isn't there. And you called him a useless batsmen and our most expensive bowler. Most expensive bowler of all time? this series? this match? his last over?

I stopped watching when Roy got out..knew England were gonna lose.
Seen the stokes dismissal. I would have given it out..It was whether it was right to give it in the fairness of the game. But that nonsense never washes with me.
He harm went out and stopped the ball..clearly out in my eyes..
That kind of dismissal is what Stokes does.Untill he actually scores runs at 6. I will take all the hype around him seriously .
