Stokes is rubbish interesting not to many say that many say ge could potentially become a very fine international player.

I thought so too after that 100. But then what has he done? Rubbish might be harsh. I'll take that back and say he's an average all rounder.

Not many gave Steve Smith the potential to become a top international when he first started.

If Stokes does a Steve Smith I'll take my hat off to him.

Steve Smith in fairness was torn apart by quality bowling, he went away and changed some technical aspects. Todays game he was aweful again though due to moving across his stumps etc.  Stokes obviously needs to work at his game really hard and tbh, none of us know if he's a hard worker or just turns up etc. Smith has at least showed he's got the right attitude. I think a few england players could learn a thing or two!

Hahah this is embarrassing losing 3 wickets to someone like marsh

Couldn't agree more! Absolute jokes!

Looks like Taylor's given up the chase and having a net.
Doesn't look like he can get the ball of the square and he's playing as a finisher at number 6.

Don't see how you can have bell, root,  ballance and Taylor in the same line up. Apart from bell, the other 3 can't score at a strike rate above 85.

Another duck for Morgan. Marsh gets another one. What a joke.

seriously embarrassing. At what point can we get rid of everyone involved with this England set up. They are just not good enough!! Making a mockery of us all. This is like the last ashes again!  Downton must be going 'uh oh'

Taylor is right to have a net, you are never going to chase 340 so there is no point trying! Just go for as much time in teh middle as you can, get that 50+ red inker for the avg.  No point giving your wicket away

I am purely thinking about fantasy league points now!

might have to sub out any England players that's for sure!

[six and out]

Yeah i only have Mo so not too bad. I think anyone with Finn will can big points though cos of the hat trick.

[ProCricketer1982]

not a bad catch by Smith!!

still, Buttler hits in the air way to often so you'd expect people to have a catcher there.

Mitchell Marsh has a 5-for. No offence, but that says it all!!

well, we do have Ali as our 'frontline' spinner.. and Woakes so are not in a position to slate M.Marsh! oh and we continue to play capts who can't bat... and we played Dernbach... and Bresnan.. oh and sacked our best player..  yeah, best not throw any insults out actually.

[Jenko]

What a catch by Steve Smith. 5 for Marsh! Awesome stuff

[six and out]

Yeah great catch like haddins as well. But that's also the massive difference when there's a chance the aussies take it. We drop finch on 0 and he gets 135!!

that is the difference between a good team and a poor team though. you can both be equal in batting but if youa re going to drop catches then you are giving away runs etc.. Fielding is vital and catches do win matches. England are poor and have been since they were no:1 in the test rankings when they actually did field like a top team.
