no, they only go hard, regardless of everything else.

 

True it gives them more license to go hard 3/4 day tomorrow. 350 set a target. With damp conditions England will have more in their favor. Only way things can go wrong is when someone like Boland running through England for 150 or so.

Look at the fight England showed along with Australia.

 

Khawaja was running away with the game and they put immense pressure on him.

 

Not a single moment in India WTC match we saw India put Aus under any pressure.

Rohit Sharma is easily the worst captain in the last 20 years of ALL countries combined.

Joe root would be up there. I can think of a few others as well

He only cares about ipl. No passion. They do not cre. Also I blame bcci for scheduling. 

 

Players shouldn't play wtc final after ipl. Makes no sense.

 

Let tested A game or reserves from ranji play.

England blame ‘soulless’ pitch for stifling Bazball ambitions in first Ashes Test

Stuart Broad says hosts want to entertain but laments slow surface at Edgbaston despite captain Ben Stokes demanding “flat, fast pitches”

16 runs from Boland's last over.  

[Ajju]

Root = Pujara

[Nikola]

Amazing how every shot batsman playing for england is going to boundary while most time for australia it went to fielder. How mindset change can so much difference. Root used to play in shell for most time and struggled to score big runs against australia and now he is looking bradman against them.

[Nikola]

Cummins bowling has declined alot since he became captain.

[Serpico]

I thought they were too arrogant when they said they'll treat Boland like an off spinner, but dear God! They're ending boland's career in this series

[Stan AF]

Where is Mitchell Johnson when you need him??

Not really, he did well (as well as you could) on the concrete roads in Pakistan with his reverse. He's rusty after coming back from the injury 

[Sgattick10]

Root has become such a delight to watch under bazball 

[Stan AF]

Aussie contingent in the crowd looks unamused

[Nikola]

That was great yorker wow came from nowhere

[Stan AF]

@Nikola you were saying something?

[Stan AF]

I hope one wicket brings in two. C'mon Aussies.

[khadekhademaaro]

Cummins effort is unquestionable. Its an inspiration !!

[Stan AF]

Cricinfo commentary on Pope's wicket is gold

 

[Nikola]

Next match is at lords and MCC won't listen to ecb so we should get pitch which helps bowler and that should be fun match to watch.
