Even more so, that they went in without a spinner.
So, send out the spin bowling coach . .. to to do the EOD presser.

Didn't get to see a ball bolted live as work got in the way - I need a better work/life balance I think. Had a look at the highlights though and it looked as though the Aus fielding (Khawaja's catch aside) was bit ordinary? Root was undone but a nasty one when he looked in good nick which was a shame.
I did like the way the Aussie's congratulated Crawley when he was out. A classy response. Ollie Robinson take note.
-
@Catogrande There definitely was some shoddy fielding - Cummins leading the way who put down Ali before Khawaja's catch.
The field placings were just weird - very reactionary/half pie.
-
Bat until lunch and then scuttle the Aussies out before the rain
-
@NTA to be fair, his back foot was in the shadow, so worth a look (and a boo 😉)
-
Declare ffs

Bazball rocks !!!
But for Cummins and Lyon scratching out 60 runs, England would be lauded to the rafters.
Also, if Aus lose (and even if they don't) Langer's mates have really got it in for Cummins. he's not a great captain, but the aussie toxicity is ridiculous
-
If England go on to win this series there will be a blood letting back home
There are still more than a few people unhappy with how Langer got rissolled. Every success since then will be forgotten as scapegoats are sought

Any poor fluffybunnies on the fern who actually live in Manchester ? Can they confirm the weather report ?
Australia are really all sorts of fucked if the rain doesn’t save them. Their big batting guns just haven’t quite fired. Simple as that.( bus change is still in to be fair )
Going in with two batting all rounders hasn’t helped the bowling either.

It is not looking good for England at 9:45 am
