[Gollum]

Now there will be serious heat in the series, Bairstow dismissal though fair and legit, will be the rallying point for Poms

If this is a choke, then what our top order usually does should be categorised as.... well I leave it at that.

He lived and died by the sword. That's it. Not like he had other options. Their negative bowling played a role.

Oz just has to win just 1 more test.

Better talent at same age but he is inexperienced. England will attack him alot that's for sure. They gave respect to lyon and cummins in this series.

Bhai is balding.

Apart from Stokes and Duckett very poor score card. 

[nitinbwj]

Great innings by Stokes but TBH, Ollie Robinson is a better batsman than Stokes. He should have come up the order and Stokes should have looked to take singles and Trust Broad Or Ollie once the target was just 79.

Hard for guys like StokesPant to suddenly slow down once they set themselves in motion. Hit 9 sixes until then. But Pant goes aerial only against Lyon. Against seamers he plays down the ground.

Eng should bring in Woods and Woakes next match. This Andu is a huge liability. 

[nitinbwj]

Pope and Brook have been the biggest duds.

Also Brook need to be told this ain't 20-20
