any romantic dreams of Headlingley, Game of Thrones style heroics with the bat are being replaced with the cold chilly Manchester reality of the Ashes fluttering away on the breeze
doesn't look like Archer will be batting for long...
However Archer needs to up his game - Bottom lip appears to have be shown in the 1st innings - So needs to get some pride back in his performance
Liked Broads goodbye wish as well a touch earlier
Call me a cynic but I don't think we'll get them.
0-1. Burns out third ball.
0-2.
Not to take wickets is fine - But to concede so many runs so quickly is poor - England should have avoided having to bat tonight. by stopping the Aussies scoring enough, in order that they could declare - Poor bowling and poor tactics and poor captaincy
Bowl wide - Bowl high -bowl legside - anything but near the bat
Now 2 wickets down
Wil we have one of those far-reaching reviews now?
IMO, the bowling has been largely let down by the batting.
As for captaincy, Joe Root is a truly awful decision maker in the field but I find it hard to hold it against him as there seems to be a culture of bad decision making in English cricket from the top down, be it selection (Ed Smith) or Colin Graves at the very top (scheduling, The 100 etc).
