Stokes playing a KL innings. Slothesque and Ineffective

Think this shows why this England side is all noise and no substance. It's scary how wood Aussie side has on the English side. Hard to see England can win anything this your unless Aussies relax.

Lol so much fuss about root by our icf warrior to hype root over Sachin in another thread. This guy made one century only on the pitch where starc scored 70-80. And aus scored more than 500 on flat pitch. This Root guy is stat padder even against india he scored big when conditions were flat, no matter how many century he scored he is a softie. I would say Jaiswal century at sidney was better than what Root scored till date during all his aussie tour. So much fuss about scoring on toughest bowling condition. Whenever bowling is tough he packs his bag.

Best batting conditions of the series and he goes for 19. Also had a catch that dropped just short of carey and he needed a review to survive when he was on 0

Too many of these dismissals even last yr. You can see a clear gap between bat and ball and there is always some noise on the snicko already.
