But all set for a 2nd innings win for England 😀 Who could have guessed Australia would be even taking a lead into the second innings after only 179. Crazy
Although, I must confess an early finish to this game would be welcome (the TV broadcast starts at 9pm here, so the quicker they bowl them out, the more sleep I will get) 😀
Butler is struggling and Stokes is going well but the captaincy just might ruin his good form with the extra pressure? Who do you pick as captain instead of Root?
The captaincy seems to really weigh him down and affect his performance. Overall, good effort from England with Butler finding form again. Denly was looking good too. Aussies will be really up against it
The Ben Stokes 1 in a million performance in the third test really saved the England series here. Not a great series but certainly memorably. I’m just glad this thread didn’t get shut down by our US moderators 😀
