Washington Sundar coming out and saying that India will definitely win it just after lunch was foolish. They were in a strong position, they needed a few calm heads to take the sting out of it this morning. Throwing petrol on the fire was not advisable. |

Spent the whole series so far bemoaning our attack but talking up our batting line up (Crawley and Pope aside), for them to let us down and get completely bailed out by the bowlers. Funny old sport. What a morning. |

Bit emotional seeing Jof come back and get that wicket after a blistering first few balls.
Felt like a proper old school day of test cricket there - really in the balance. Get an early wicket or two tomorrow morning and we're in the driving seat. Felt for Stokes - he was batting well yesterday and was unlucky to come up against a ripper from the best test bowler in the world. Hope he gets a proper score soon. |

Really glad Stokes looked better this morning and was having a bowl in the nets. Lets us share the workload, so Archer can focus on those short sharp spells. Interested to see if Pant makes it out to bat as well, with that injured finger stopping him from keeping. |

My favourite home kit of recent memory was the 21/22, with the yellow trim and watermark in the hoops. Still kicking myself that I didn't get one.
On the last point, I've got no issue with going away from hoops for the away kits. Some of best away kits of recent memory (21/22 black and the Dom Ball v Cardiff 3rd kit) have been non-hooped. Otherwise it just becomes a bit repetitive. Need a good Dennis the Menace every few years though. |

I still have my Dryworld kit and play with it at 5 aside - still holds up, no issues. I also had some of the training gear which was decent IMO - better than some of the cheap Nike crap you get. |

I had someone send me a picture of Sebastien Polter in the blue and black hooped Dryworld kit, asking if it was our new away strip. Didn't really have his finger on the pulse. |

There will have been a lot of pressure to make it through Bumrah's early spells and wait until the ball softens a bit on top of his poor form. Probably went out there a bag of nerves, not wanting to get out cheaply. He's been done by a bit of a jaffa, I do feel for him. Duckett on the other hand, very soft. |

If you look at the list, it basically includes all town centres - Brixton, Camden, Croydon, Ealing, Finsbury, Kingston, Shoreditch, the West End,. Anywhere that gets busy at people congregate will have issues with ASB, it isn't exclusive to Shepherds Bush at all.
I've got a few friends who have moved to the home counties - for me it's got no appeal. I love the multi-culturalism and buzz in London that you don't get in your Amersham's and Aylesbury's. They're happy with the set up but I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. |

The idea here is surely to send Walsh out on loan, get him 1st team football. I think he's League 1 ready and not far off being able to compete at this level, certainly too good to be rotting on the bench. An older vet GK who's happy to be second fiddle would be cheap and give us that option.
On EDB, Dave Mc made a comment on twitter that plenty of clubs have been interest, but he's got an inflated view of his choices and where he thinks he should be playing. |

Lee Cook didn't go to Fulham on a free, he cost them £2.5m, and then he paid his £25,000 signing on fee back to the club as we were skint at the time. Entirely different. |

Think they'd be mad to get rid of Smyth. Can't be on much, one of the only few with pace, great availability, and works his socks off. I hope he's talking about Taylor Richards, regardless of his improved performance against mighty Stevenage. Him, Santos, Dixon-Bonner out, then maybe loans for some of Sutton, Bennie, Lloyd. |

Crawley and Duckett start in Perth - there's no getting around that. This team and set-up have invested too much time on him to volte-face now.
On Stokes, his bowling against Zimbabwe was sharp and he was the pick of the bowlers in Leeds. I think he's still hampered by the fitness issues - he said himself he was a shadow of a man after Headingley and he bowled far fewer overs this time around.
I like the suggestion not to bother with a frontline spinner in Oz and slip Jacob Bethell in there. Him and Root can throw a few down to give the seamers a rest, and you get another quality batter in there. Would have him in at 6 and shift Stokes back to 8. |

Is it communication? Or is it meaningless platitudes disguised as communication? We've learned nothing new. They've just repeated a few bits from other announcements and said cheers for not burning the place to the ground. They can say they're communicating with fans, without actually communicating anything. |

We say that, but both at Headingly and for this test, Shubman Gill said he would have bowled first as well. It didn't seem an outrageous decision at the toss |

Like milk. Jesus Christ, I mean yesterday was bad but Root and Stokes for a duck in the first half hour today has been horrific. Ready to call it a day. |

Feel like it could creep round to the whole of R-Block with minimal disruption. A majority of the fans there wouldn't mind standing/perching. You'd need to sort out the queue at the bar though. |
