I hope this is not hubris…

Of course, if they’d have picked that Lawrence fella from The Oval Franchise, we’d have got to at least 500.

Crazy/stupid 'bazball' decision. Could easily have got another 50 runs. Can we have the adults back in the captaincy room please.

bwildered:
 Would have been a perfect day if we could have knocked openers over before end if play. Four hundred was the minimum on that wicket .
 Stokes forsake possible extra runs to play on the front foot, and nailed his flags to the mast by bazball bowling and fielding options. And yep agree want to see Burnley Lara bowling, not batting.

smandlej:
We think they expected to have 10 overs at the Aussies as the end of the day: after three overs, it was showing 7 overs remaining.  Suddenly, after 4 overs, it was showing Stumps, which seems to happen all too often in Test Matches.  We do wonder who decides play is suddenly going to be over, no mention of bad light or rain in the highlights on BBC.  We feel sorry for the paying public.
