It's The Ashes (again)

[Peachy]

Last ball before lunch ffs!! Stokesy is going to have to let fly straight from the off after lunch. Need to close that gap as much as possible. Hopefully he and Broad can put on a stand like the other day.

Its high risk cricket and wont work against better teams.

Dropped catches,missed stumpings,poor shot selection and poor team selection aint gonna win many games

This is true with any tactics. This isn't anything to do specifically with the mentality that Bazball is meant to be.

People need to stop eqauting the two.

No its really not

Chasing wide deliveries and hooking or pulling with 3 catchers in the deep is high risk and repeating it for 5 innings has led to where we are now

Think I'll focus on the tennis. England a bit carp

[AnelkasBeard]

Dont mind Mark Wood doing that. 24 off 8 and out.

Broady needs to channel his Lords batting here to let Stokes go off. If we can get close to the Aussie score, game on.

Broady - just wait around with Stokes. FFS.

[SuperBob2002]

Thank god for Stokes. This may not be as an embarrassing defeat as I initially feared.

[Cunninghamismagic]

+1. We would be a bit lost without Stokes

[AnelkasBeard]

Stokes and the tail done very very well to get close to the Aussies score here.

Worried about Stokes' condition though, constantly grimacing when batting.

[Beachboysbaggie]

Who was the genius on here who was advocating dropping Stokes? 

[SausEggBaton]

Get in! Bye Warner

[AnelkasBeard]

17 times now Broady has got Warner out.... like clockwork
