If Archer etc were fit, we'd be 2-0 up by now.

Think you are missing my point. They have a spinner but did not bowl him. It is nothing like the Archer situation.

Lyon is injured, like Archer.

I think he means they turned to Murphy beyond the point they'd have tuned to Lyon

I did not think it was that complicated. 🤔🤫

Game over

nah, perfectly setup for Bairstow to make a 'match winning' 40 and be hailed by management as key to the success. Not that I'd complain right now.

[desperado]

Time for others to step up, can’t always rely on Stokes.

Maybe, but maybe not.

The seam bowlers doing the damage, so why change?

All ifs and buts. If Robinson hadn't been unavailable, he might have bowled during that period, and taken umpteen wickets.

Lyon may also have been taken down by Brook enjoying himself, or Ali who plays spin quite well.

A bit of a leap to suggest that one slight change would have meant game over. 

Anyway, not game over.

[Sweep]

It'll be difficult now

I know

But I really think @Aniwas just noting it was to our advantage

Nothing more than that

[Tonge moor green jacket]

Swung a touch back in. 

Root and Stokes both out unusually to the same shot not helping!

[Lt. Aldo Raine]

Oh dear

I know, but it doesn't work like that necessarily. Starc doing the business- he might not be bowling in Lyon was on.

[Lt. Aldo Raine]

I think it's clear now the decision to rush Bairstow back - and particularly to play him as wicketkeeper - has backfired

[Lt. Aldo Raine]

On opportunity here for Brook to be the hero

[Lt. Aldo Raine]

Woakes doesn't need to be doing this

Does WinViz really tell us anything we can't already work out?

Where’s it gone!? 😂 Not seen it for 15 mins, what we saying 50/50? 

[desperado]

Oh there it is! 🤣 61% England win… I’m not sure about that!

Win or lose, he should be replaced

I think if these 2 get it under 30, its ours to lose

[Casino]

Saying eng 78%

I suppose it depends how its set up

If brooks out this ball, we go to 30 imo
