It's The Ashes (again)

[CaptainFantastico]

You could easily flip the narrative of the series and say that this style of play has made us competitive with the best side in the world, whilst dropping about 300 runs worth of catches. If you put a combined 11 together you’d struggle to get more than 2/3 English players in there.

Obviously it’s impossible to prove that “playing sensibly” wouldn’t have seen us 2-0 up at this stage but the very opportunities that have been squandered have been brought about by this style of play. If you swap the catching statistics around then I’m pretty confident you could swap the score around too.

That’s my take on it
