Doesn’t seem a really good idea to bowl short and aggressively at the opposition’s opening bowlers and getting them angry while also not threatening the stumps, but then I’m not England captain
It’s the classic “he started it miss” trap, we’re wasting the relatively new ball. They average single figures for a reason, bowl better lads
Will we even try to go for this?
And fast.
Think this is over
Yep. Its a rage quit from me.

There’s been lots of comparisons to the 90s side, and this was another of the key traits which made them such a cluster fuck of a team. The complete inability to think through knocking over a tail.
Also another thing that we lose with stokes out of the team.
And he probably takes the root drop at slip
Cowardly from Kohli this, why are they still batting?

And as the players walk off for lunch, you’d have to say it’s been England’s session!
